Faults:

My coils have went out 2x now at 350.00 a shot. Engine light flashes and truck runs very rough - the first time it went out was 1/4/07 and the most recent one just went today 1/4/08.

I was told by the Ford mechanic this is a common problem with the Expedition. What a joke - I will never buy a Ford again.

General Comments:

The SUV handles poorly and has had a lot of problems.

Like it very much-Had zero problems with this Expedition and loved it. I would have liked a little more power, but it was actually adequate. THEN... just drove it to Indiana from New Mexico. About 200 miles form desination, it started to "cut-out: a bit. The next morning my wife drove it to our home dealership and when she opulled it into the lot, it was barely running. Turned out to be a coil. I didn't even know cars had coils anymore and some comments in this forum say that mine has EIGHT! The other comments all seem to mention that they start going out about my mileage range. The big difference is that everyone that had an extended warranty said that the coils were not covered; we were told it WAS covered. one hour in shop, no money spent and drove back out to NM with no problems. I would sure argue the warranty point a bit because we had no problem.

General Comments:

Like it very much.

Faults:

Cons: Rough transmission shifts. Supplier problems with rear differential parts sent many 2003 models back for rear-end replacement. Mine was repaired twice within 70000 miles. Interior finish on Eddie Bauer editions is not a refined as what you would find in a Honda or Toyota. Rear a/c replaced at 50K miles.

General Comments:

Pros: Good, reliable vehicle.

Adequate power with 5.4L engine, not 4.6L one.

Great for towing.

Paint finish has lasted well.

Power folding rear seats are a great design.

Fantastic turning radius.

Faults:

TO start the transmission slips.

Delayed starting.

A foul smell comes from the exhaust when running.

It randomly slows down or completely stops or loses all power.

It always tells me the door is ajar.

Horrendous amount of brake dust.

General Comments:

This car is very comfortable.

However the price of running it is very high.

The interior design is generally nice.

It does not take off very quickly at all.

The car is very attractive when clean and cruising the downtown streets.

However with all the problems it has I would strongly not suggest this car and would suggest a General Motors Vehicle.

Ford does not have as high of a standard as say Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac or any other car.

Instead of an Expedition I suggest a Chevy Suburban, Gmc Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, Nissan Armada, Chrysler Aspen, or Dodge Durango.

Faults:

Rear differential leaked. Tried to get it repaired/looked at for warranty - dealer refused.

The front disk brakes warped. A local mechanic pulled Ford warranty notice, My local dealer was reluctant to repair; very poor service.

Less than 10,000, the new discs are developing the same shudder/wobble sensation upon braking. Out of warranty and the local dealer won't warranty their own work.

Chevy dealers have always stepped up to take care of their brand of cars and trucks.

General Comments:

I am surprised at the small truck feel of the interior of this otherwise big truck. I am six foot and there is not enough legroom while driving. I like the fold down 3rd seat.

There are not enough store options on the interior of this Ford; it's very spartan when compared to Chevys or Toyotas.

I'll buy an older Suburban or Toyota Sequoia for the next rig though - I have had two of those and they are superior in every way.
