I purchased this vehicle in March 2023 from a private owner from Craigslist that was listed at 130,000 miles. I’m currently in the process of selling and found out through a car history report that my vehicle passed an emission inspection at 230,000 miles in February 2023 and was also purchased from an auction, a month before I purchased it. The owner did not give any of this information and tampered with the odometer. I ran a vehicle history report today August 20, 2025 and retrieved all of this information that was not presented to me during this transaction.

The brake is so far left, it is unsafe to drive. It is in the position the clutch would in an a Manual transmission and my right foot has trouble moving that far over and its unsafe to use my left as i'm never braked with my left foot.

Since I have owned this vehicle when ever you fill up with fuel when the gas pump clicks off fuel spews back out the filler tube. I have asked dealers if anyone else has this problem and am told no. I believe this is a safety hazzard when gasoline runs down the side of vehicle and onto the ground. Ford does not acknowlege and problem. I'm sure there are other vehicles with the same problem.

When filling the gas tank, even at the slowest setting on the gas pump, when the pump clicks to indicate the tank is full, 5 seconds later the tank burps fuel everywhere and the tank is only 3/4 full. The fumes are a safety risk to people, the fuel on the ground is bad for the environment, and there have been instances when I have been sprayed with fuel. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic and they were not able to find anything wrong. I took the vehicle to the local Ford dealership and they indicated everything was working properly. I took the vehicle back to Ford again and I was told the only other possible thing to do would be to replace the fuel tank, but the fuel tank is not produced anymore and is obsolete. There are no warning indicators to this problem with the vehicle.

I received a 2008 Expedition Eddie Bauer edition as a birthday gift last October. By January, the passenger window completely quit working. One warm, sunny day, we decided to open the sunroof. We have never had issues with the sunroof malfunctions. A storm moved in and temperatures quickly dropped (we are on the TN/AL stateline, we get all four seasons in one day sometimes). The sunroof would NOT close. It would move forward maybe halfway and then back to completely open. We struggled for HOURS, had to purchase bags, duct tape, and several other items to close the opening. I had to purchase a hotel room for the night because there was no way it would stay in place for another 100 miles. The next day driving home, we stopped at a Co-Op and a gentleman helped us FORCE the sunroof closed. Since then, we have disconnected the button that cracks the rear two windows and sunroof. My truck interior was soaked. My twin girls were cold and miserable, as I was too. We could not afford that hote

One day, out of nowhere, my dash displayed “tire pressure sensor fault”.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH downhill, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle spun out of control. The rear-end of the vehicle clipped a telephone pole and spun around in the other direction, the vehicle then went down an embankment and crashed into a rock wall. The contact stated that the air bags deployed as needed. The contact stated that she had a fractured ankle but was unsure whether the injury was from the crash or prior to the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and then towed to the contact’s grandmother’s home. The vehicle was not repaired. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.

Front passenger seatbelt locks, and now it doesn’t allow the passenger to buckle up. In other words the passenger seat belt buckle does not work anymore. It is a safety hazard to my passenger.

WHEN DRIVING DURING NORMAL DRY WEATHER THE TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY COMES ON WHEN IT SHOULDN'T AND HAS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE NOT STOPPING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED. I HAVE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ONLY 7 WEEKS AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES OCCUR ON 3 OCCASIONS. LUCKILY, 2 OF THE TIMES I WAS IN A RURAL AREA BUT THE 3RD TIME I WAS ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND RAN THROUGH A RED LIGHT NARROWLY MISSING HAVING AN ACCIDENT. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED MY SPEED WAS BELOW 45MPH. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND SEVERAL BLOGS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN THESE BLOGS THE INDIVIDUALS STATED THAT THE FORD DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN EACH BLOG THAT I FOUND WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY OF THESE BLOGS WERE SEVERAL YEARS OLD SO I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER WHO INDICATED HE KNEW NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE SINCE THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT RETAIN FAULTS.

DRIVING VEHICLE BRAKE FUNCTION SEEMS NORMAL, BUT RANDOMLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL DEPRESS FAR LOWER IN ORDER TO BRAKE. AFTER A FEW PUMPS IT RISES AND BRAKES AT A HIGHER POSITION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, ALSO DURING WEEK LONG TEST DRIVE MECHANIC DID NOT HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE 5-6 TIMES, AND SPOUSE HAS ALSO HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL GO TOO FAR DOWN BEFORE IT BRAKES. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH & LO SPEEDS STREET & HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY RANDOM TOO, DOES NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY VEHICLE USE.
