2010 Ford Expedition

FORD VEHICLE SHUTS OFF SPORADICALLY WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY. THE BRAKES ALSO SEIZE UP TO THE POINT WHERE THEY OVER HEAT AND COULD CATCH FIRE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED MAY 15TH AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO TRY AND REPAIR WHAT FORD DEALERSHIPS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR. IT SHUT OFF ON THE WAY HOME. MAY 16TH THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A OVER A YEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND WAS RECENTLY AT AUTO NATION FORD IN UNION CITY GA FOR OVER A MONTH AWAITING A PART THAT NEVER SHOWED UP. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LOCAL SHOP THAT WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE PART AND REPLACE IT, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $8000 IN THE SPAN OF A YEAR AND THE ISSUE STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVE. REPAIRS FROM BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TO THE CALIPERS AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND EVEN A FULL 4X4 TRANSFER CASE ASYMBLEY SO FAR NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAS WORKED. IT HAS SHUT OFF IN THE PAST WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE EXPRESS WAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHER VIDEOS OF FORD OWNERS THAT ARE ALSO GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAVE VIDEO WHICH IS THE BEST VISUAL SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE WARNINGS THAT POP UP.

VEHICLE CONVERTED TO STRETCH LIMOUSINE BY IMPERIAL COACH IN SPRINGFIELD, MO. THE METHOD OF CONVERSION CAUSED THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS TO BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONSTANTLY DISPLAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS CONVERSION ALSO HAMPERED THE TRACTION CONTROL REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL PRIOR TO OPERATING THE VEHICLE TO AVOID DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING AROUND TURNS. THESE OPERATING DEFICIENCIES ARE ONLY ON THE VEHICLE WITH VIN# [XXX]. WE WERE AWARE OF THE SITUATION WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE "AS IS" AT AUCTION BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT IS BEING "FLIPPED" BY SEVERAL OWNERS. WE ARE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WITH AN UNKNOWING OPERATOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
