Power Train
At roughly 95,000 miles the bearings in the rear differential went bad on our Expedition EL. We drove it this way for a few months until we could get it properly diagnosed and repaired. It was repaired by Stearns Ford under our extended warranty (aftermarket) several weeks ago, and has been fine since the rebuild.

On 8/15/22 I was driving when all of a sudden my brake pedal went all the way to the floor, the braking system dash light chimed and lit up a warning, and the dash read low brake fluid. I pulled over with almost zero brakes, was able to add a bottle of brake fluid. I was able to limp the car home and when I got there again no brake fluid and all warning lights on again. We added another bottle of brake fluid and let the car sit. After an hour we went back and started the car and got the same warnings. We popped the hood and again zero brake fluid, even though we have added 2 bottles. There was nothing visibly leaking. We were able to get the car a mechanic that verified there is a leak in the master cylinder and it needs to be replaced along with the brake booster. The vehicle is available for inspection. There is a recall on this model truck for the same problem but I was told my vehicle was built 10 days past the date allowed in the recall. Having this happen with no warning was extremely dangerous given that I had almost no braking power. It was a challenge moving the car off the road and back home. I had no indication anything was wrong prior to 8/15/22 until the pedal went to the floor that day. Vehicle has only been inspected by my mechanic.

While driving, the vehicle suddenly went into a "limp mode" where it lost almost all power and a Power Train warning light came on. This happened once on July 14th and then again 5 times on August 2nd, 2002. The car was not drivable after the consecutive incidents so it had to be towed to the dealership. It was determined the Throttle Body had failed and needed to be replaced and because the car was about 2,500 miles beyond the power train warranty terms the repairs cost $790.

I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED TO RUN OKAY. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING AGAIN AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH CAME ON IN THE DISPLAY. I TURNED ON TO A SIDE STREET AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT - WHILE DRIVING HOME IT DID IT AGAIN AND THE WRENCH CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I LOST POWER IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY LANE OR OFF RAMP. I SEE OTHER FORD OWNER HAVE REPORTED THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE IT FIXED. AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM SHOULD IT BE REPAIRED BY FORD?
