What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was t-boned by a pickup truck who ran a stop sign, combined speed of collision was a hundred MPH. All airbags were deflated. I had lacerations to my head and eye consistent with images of those caused by takata airbags.
Drivers side airbag did not deploy when the car was in an accident. The passenger side did even though there was no passenger. Both sensors went off.
2010 ford expedition was traveling southbound. A 2007 chevy silverado that was on the northbound side, made a left-hand turn in front of the expedition without yielding right of way to oncoming traffic. The expedition was traveling about 35 MPH and the brakes locked up leaving skid marks on the pavement. There was no time to react as it took place so quickly. The vehicles collided right front to right front.
There are 3 spots so far that have bubbled up on the hood and tailgate of my vehicle. It's still under warranty till 06/15 but ford refuses to do anything about it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford expedition. While the vehicle was at a standstill, the front driver and passenger side windows failed to open. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power window regulator failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall on the regulator. While driving 25 MPH, the contact attempted to switch the heater off, but the heater failed to turn off.
