| Brakes were applied and the brake pedal went to the floor and slightly vibrated. after initial application of the brakes, upon next application of pressure on the brake pedal, the brakes then engaged. no code or any indication by the vehicles safety messages were given, no check brakes or anything. there is a recall for abs brakes on the 2008 model dated november of 2007 and this vehicle was a late production run of the '07's and delivered on 8/28/2007 so perhaps the same issue affected some models from '07. issue has been reported to corporate level @ ford motor company. *tr | |||

| While driving on dry pavement at approximately 25-35 mph the traction control light will start to illuminate randomly. eventually staying on constantly. pushing the traction control button will not turn off the light. turning off the car and starting it again will make it go away. one time when this happened the abs brakes engaged and the brakes had significantly reduced stopping power. i took it straight to the dealer and they did not see any error codes in the system. *tr | |||

| The sliding car icon displays quite often, always on dry pavement. usually for a short time during that time the brakes do not operate properly. they act as though the abs have engaged themselves and make it almost impossible to stop. it has happened over 10 times to me in the 15 months that i have owned the truck. the dealer checked the problem and reported that there was nothing wrong. *tr | |||

| Leaving my neighborhood going 20-25 mph. pavement was dry. slight downhill incline. put my foot on the brake. brake started pulsating rapidly. brake was resisting me pressing it by pushing my foot back up with pulsating action. truck would not stop. could have rear ended the car in front of me or went into a 4 lane highway. pulled out onto the highway proceeded down another downhill incline about 45 mph. put my foot on the brake to slow down again the brakes started pulsating and did not work. had to stand on the brakes pushing against the brake rapid pulsation to get the truck slowed to turn into a parking lot. traction control sliding car icon was flashing. took to dealership 10/28/10. dealer could not find any codes or malfunction. dealer said the traction control system rsc resets itself periodically and will most likely do this again. this is a dangerous time for a bake or tracking control system to reset leaving one without brakes. personally i don't believe their excuse. ford has a seriously dangerous problem with the traction control system. seems others have had this same problem reference to odi id # 10220899. also other complaints under the tracking control system odi id# 10332619 and 10321582. also from surfing the ford enthusiast web site, and other web sites, a lot more people are having this problem and are not being reported. | |||

| 2007 ford expedition el, eddie bauer 4x4 mileage - 35,800 passenger front brake dragging. caused extremely hot and smoking brake components. -- this could have caused serious brake failure due to brake fluid boiling; possible fire, possible locked/skidding tire and loss of steering control. full story: was towing a car on a trailer of about 5000 pounds total weight. typical driving, south of watkins glen on rt 14 toward interstate, speeds 30-60mph; trailer has fully operational electric brakes. smelled hot brakes, pulled over, smoke pouring out of wheel. pyrometer could not measure rotor temperature - meaning rotor was hotter than 790 degrees f. (i believe the drivers front rotor was about 230f). i also can't say 100% there was not a fire. jacked it up, it was hard to turn the wheel. when it cooled, the wheel rotated without resistance. took caliper off, cleaned brake pad contact areas, pistons seemed to press back easily. did not need brakes on rest of way home and have not towed since -- no problems with brakes since (about 200 miles regular driving). so far stops straight without a shimmy. i plan to replace pads and bleed system unless i find something that suggest problems is more serious. other people have had identical problems and about same mileage: http://www.edmunds.com/ford/expeditionel/2007/consumerreview.html. *tr | |||

| We have been having sporadic issues with a grating/grinding/scraping noise and a bucking/jerking with our 35,00mile 2007 ford expedition el. no one seems to be able to pinpoint the problem (dealership, of course). i'm sure at 36,001 miles they'll figure it(warranty up). help. i worry about the safety of my three children, as well as the expense of fixing it. when it occurs longterm (20+ seconds) , tapping the brakes seems to release the noise/hang up. you can also feel it in the pedals/floor when it happens. when the car bucks(not always occurring with the noise)- it really bucks. i have pulled over every time to check that i haven't blown a tire because i know i didn't hit a pothole or road debris and just to be safe. it is terrifying. *tr | |||
