What owners wrote

Dixie donelson had only purchased her ford expedition the month prior (early june), and was just underway for a trip to visit her daughter in colorado. The original police report documents her losing control of her vehicle within the first 40 minutes of her trip. Further observations of the crash site have revealed tread remnants of new firestone SUV tires. However, the expedition caught fire and all remaining tires burned to the extent of not being identifiable.

July 2000 CrashFireInjuryDeath

Problems with headlights blowing out, replaced bulb, still no high beam. Lights completely went out one night. Had to have family member follow me home. Battery detached to get lights inside off. Lights originally went off when I plugged my cell phone in for charging; something that I have always done in my prior vehicles. Vehicle cutting off, shop states that it is due to problem with emission. AC runs hot when vehicle keep turning off. Vehicle acceleration is bad.
