NHTSA Complaint #10321582 — 2007 FORD EXPEDITION

ROAD CONDITIONS-WET; OUTSIDE TEMP.-46DEG. (MARCH 23, 2010 MILEAGE AT INCIDENT OCCURANCE - 68659) UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT(RSC) WILL SUDDEN APPEAR ALTERNATING WITH A WRENCH WARNING LIGHT, WHICH THEN DISABLES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE (EVEN WITH THE PEDEL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR). WHEN THIS OCCURS IT FORCES ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AS WELL AS ALL THE ELECTRONICS AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INVESITIGATION, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE WHILE IN THE SHOP, SINCE THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIR OR REPLACED. I FEEL AS THOUGH IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SITUATION IN WHICH AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR ANYONE THAT DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. ALL SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY (75K EXTENDED WARRANTY). THE LAST TIME THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE OCCURRED WAS MAY 2009 MILEAGE WAS 54494. IN TOTAL THIS PROBLEM AS OCCURED 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
