What owners wrote
On 1/23 my wife (5 months pregnant) was driving alone with my 2 year old son through the ca desert on her way to phoenix, az. In our 2005 ford expedition with only 35k miles on it. About 20 miles from blythe, ca three fuel injectors failed. Luckily she found a ford dealership in blythe that was open on that friday and able to replace them. Upon arrival in phoenix, another dealer determined that the catalytic converter was destroyed as a result.
While driving along at 55 MPH engine shut down. No power brakes, steering, etc. Indicator message on dashboard said "check electronic ignition". Repair cost $ 724.19.
