Faults:

I have a problem with the bottom part of the doors rusting.

General Comments:

I love the truck the spacious room and the ability to sit up high, but the rust is an eyesore.

Faults:

Power window on passenger side broke around 40K miles. Cost about $300 at the dealer.

I had a problem with the car running rough. I went to Autozone, and they let me borrow the computer that hooks right up to the car, and it said cylinder 8 misfire. So I talked to a friend at Ford, and he said to take the coil off of cylinder 8 and switch it with the one on cylinder 1, and drive around a bit, and then go hook it back up to the computer again, to see if it said there is a problem with cylinder 1, and if not, you will have to change the spark plug in cylinder 8. If 1 is now the problem, it is the coil unit, which is about $100. Good luck.

Faults:

So far so good it looks to be a dependable vehicle.

General Comments:

Very nice interior. Lots of bells and whistles. Over all a very nice truck.

Faults:

Alignment was consistently needed.

Changed tires a total of three times due to poor alignment.

Ford dealership was unable to align vehicle several times. After going to an independent alignment shop, the alignment problem was corrected.

Steering wheel paint peeled and chipped off after 30,000 miles.

At 35,000 miles, suspension piece broke, however, it was replaced.

After 45,000 miles, rattling became apparent.

After 100,000 miles, transmission became faulty. After a repair at the Ford dealership, the problem reappeared at approximately 109,000 miles. Transmission needed replacement.

General Comments:

Vehicle was very roomy.

High ground clearance allowed for great traffic visibility .

Vehicle was built fairly solid.

Overall a very nice vehicle in terms of durability, however, it can get very expensive to maintain.

Ford dealerships are generally very unreliable and were unable to repair my problems well.

Faults:

My engine made a gunning noise in hot weather last summer.

Side Passenger Back Door Child lock locks automatically.

Resale Value?

General Comments:

This car is a wonderful family car. It has a good, quiet ride. The engine is just powerful enough. It is a good piece of American engineering, too.

I do not particularly like the integrated antenna.

Faults:

Ignition coils, ignition coils, and more ignition coils.

General Comments:

Do not buy a Ford Expedition. We have a 2000 with the 4.6, and have had a lot of ignition coil problems. The car has 70,000 miles, and have replaced three already, waiting for others to go out anytime. At over $100 each (there are 8) plus labor, it is not cheap, and ignition coils should not go bad this early.

Ford knows about the design problem, and is not doing anything about it. Our vehicle was purchased as a certified pre-owned at a Ford dealer, and we also opted for the extended warranty, which was not cheap. Come to find out that these ignition coils are not covered.

This was our first and last Ford product, never again. Will probably look at imports. Poor warranty coverage along with bad design and poor quality, maybe this is why Ford is losing customers to imports. I really wanted to give Ford a shot, but never again. Ford better wake up.
