| The vehicle began to idle real rough to the point of bouncing in an uncontrolled manner. a knocking noise started coming from the engine. when you tried to increase speed two cylinders missed. when the vehicle was manufactured incorrectly, it caused the oil to be distributed unevenly through the engine and the engine to heat unevenly. this starvation of oil over time to the engine allowed for metal to shred and contaminate the engine and the engine has to be replaced in a 5 year old car. if the engine is not replaced the conditions would continue to intensify and the outcome is unknown. after investigation into the problem i learned that ford had sent out a technical advisory bulletin to help service departments identify the problem so obviously this is not a one time based failure. | |||

| We have a 2007 ford expedition with a remote electric start installed in the truck. when you remote start the vehicle then get into the vehicle with the keys out of the ignition you are able to put your foot on the brake pedal and move the gear shift to any position........... this has been witnessed by the ford dealer who was shocked, but has told me its working the way it was designed........... if you test this,,,,,,, remote start the vehicle then sit in the drivers seat, put your foot on the pedal and move the shifter. the car will shut off as its suppose to and once the engine dies the shifter will not move. its just for the split of 3 to 10 seconds it takes for the engine to stop that shifter is free to move ..........if a child is to enter the vehicle and put their foot on the pedal they will have that amount of time to move the shifter and once you move the shifter that car is free to roll at anytime and the shifter can still move .............................................................. the problem as i see it. if i remote start the vehicle and a child climbs into the vehicle and pretends to drive puts his foot on the brake and moves the shifter, the car is going to roll and it never had the keys in the ignition..................... i park on a hill and this good easily kill someone if the vehicle rolls...................the fix would be not allow the gear shift to move out of park with out the keys in the ignition. i was advised by ford not to remote start my vehicle with the doors unlocked and that | |||

| 2007 ford expedition mileage ~34,000 i have taken my 2007 ford expedition into the shop now on 3 separate occasions for the same issue. the first and second time the problem was listed at un-found, and the 3rd time it was in the show they stated that they were aware of an issue but there is currently no fire available. the issue: *when slowing down to a stop, the vehicle seems to stay in a higher gear and then downshifts hard, and comes to a stop. *while accelerating from a stop the vehicle seems to hesitate very badly, then take off. this has been particularly scary when pulling out into traffic because you never know when it | |||

| Since purchasing the vehicle in october of 2006, the transmission seemed sluggish at stops when accelerating, i have taking the vehicle into a ford dealership three or more times and now the transmission is still sluggish when moving from a stop. i took it back to a dealer and ford service said that a memo said not to work on my transmission until the update for software is issued sometime in november. this is at least a month away and the vehicle is not safe for my wife and family to drive in. i have a ford rep who we asked to supply us with a rental car and they are saying we can rent a car and they will review it when the vehicle is fixed and decide if they are going to pay for the rental. this is ridiculous to be treated this way by such a huge corporation. *tr | |||

| I had purchased a 2007 ford expedition el and have had multiple problems with being able to go in reverse while facing down on any kind of grade. i also have problems with the vehicle accelaration while coming from a stop into traffice. myself along with my two small children will no longer drive the vehicle. we were very close to being hit twice because of the defect in this ford vehicle. i had submitted for lemon law and so far i have not received my answer from arbitration. i can tell you that ford is covering this up because i know of serveral persons and businesses that have the same issues and ford stated that there are no issues. while on the phone with the ford representative in the arbitration they only showed a few visits to the dealership and told me that the ones that i received from the dealership were false. what a crock. i will make a complaint everywhere that i can before this vehicle kills someone. at this point i went and bought another vehicle and am stuck paying for two now that the one just sits and we refuse to drive it. my children are afraid to even drive in it because it actually goes in forward while in reverse also. | |||

| This 2007 expedition will not hold while stopped on a hill either in drive or reverse. when in either gear the car will drift noticeably. when attempting to back up while on a down grade hill the brake has to be held and gas must be applied so that the vehicle could safely back up without it spinning tire.*ak | |||

| I purchased a 2007 expedition in oct. 06 and about 6 months ago, i noticed that when i came to a stop i felt a kick afterwards. slowly it progressed to a harder push, where it actually feels like someone hit me from behind. i took it for service at my local ford dealer in october 07 and they had orders from ford to recalibrate the transmission for now until they found a fix for the problem in mid-november. the recalibration worked for 1 week and now the problem has returned. again i contacted the local ford dealer and they claim not to have a fix yet. i need this fix . *tr | |||
