What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 ford expedition. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the rear differential dropped and caused him to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle swerved and then flipped over. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the rear suspension was completely corroded. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed.
I have a 1999 ford expedition eddie bauer 4x4 that has all the symptoms of your investigation #ea05015. I took my vehicle in while it was still under warranty and I was denied a claim for them to fix it at my local dealer because they said that the cause was due to moisture and it was not covered by under warranty. This sounded to me to be a manufacturing defect and felt it should have been fixed by them.
