What owners wrote
My vehicle was involved in an accident while coming into a cub to get onto the freeway the vehicle in front of me made a sudden stop in an emergency panic I hit my brakes and my expedition never attempted to stop. As I explained to two of officers on the scene I was standing on my brakes and it would not stop. The following business day I was given information from my insurance company there was a rash of problems with the brakes on this particular model.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 ford expedition. While driving at an unknown speed, the traction control light illuminated by itself. The vehicle began swerving back and forth. The contact had to tap the brakes a few times in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the cause was a faulty yaw valve and they replaced the component. Two days later, the light illuminated again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they stated that the failure was repaired.
