On sunday windshield wipers started goinig crazy.they started to go on and off for 5 minutes after several attempts to shut them off.finally my husband pulled over and turned the car off, and the wipers shut off.the dealer was not notified .on tuesday at about 7:56 am I was driving to go to a gas station and as I was turning to the left I heard a loud sound that sounded like an explosion and the truck turned off.I tried tunring the car on since I have had problems with the car turning off before and I realized…
My ford expedition stopped being able to control the temperature. I am now going into winter, and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to defrost the windows which could cause a very significant safety issue. The "blend door" is plastic in my year, and ford changed it to nylon during the production run. I am left with a defective blend door, and vehicle and ford has informed me that the fix ($1,700) is my responsibility not theirs.
