What owners wrote
My husband has a 2008 ford expedition. The half hook is poorly designed therefore the carpet floor mat does not stay secure and the mat moves around and shifts alot when you are driving. My son was driving the expedition on sunday aug. 8,2010 when the floor mat moved, got bunched up under his feet and the brake pedal, which caused him to not be able to stop and he ran into a brick building. The more people I talk to the more I find out it happens to others but it's not reported because there's no accident.
The paint on the rear of my truck starting coming off. I read online that many ford expedition owners have this same complaint and that some owners have taken ford to court to fix this. This is not right. It is a well maintained vehicle and the paint only in the rear starts bubbling up and then falling off. I think this should be fixed by ford. This is a very expensive vehicle. I have a 2000 crown victoria with no paint falling off.
