Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS NEW EXPEDITION JUNE OF 2018. IT HAS PUT ITSELF INTO DEEP SLEEP MODE 8 TIMES. 06/11/18, 08/09/18, 08/19/18, 08/22/18 TWICE!, 10/13/18, 11/11/18, 02/06/19. EACH TIME IT HAD TO BE JUMPED WITH ANOTHER LARGE VEHICLE TO START IT UP. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUNE 11TH JUST DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN AND THEY "CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" THEY ARE NOW SAYING THEY WILL REPLACE THE BATTERY BUT I FEEL ITS SOMETHING WITH ALL THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR AND IT WILL STRAND ME AGAIN. I HAVE LUPUS AND IT HAS STRANDED ME IN 105 DEGREES AND FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SAID THE COULDN'T COME FOR 1 HOUR AND 45 MINUTES. I HAD TO HAVE A STRANGER TRY TO JUMP IT WITH A SMALL CAR AND IT WOULDN'T CHARGE, THEN A TUNDRA THAT THE MARINA MANAGER DROVE PULLED UP AND HE FINALLY GOT MY CAR GOING....I CAN;T DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES AND THE FORD CORPORATION SAID IT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR A REPLACEMENT. THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE AROUND WITH CABLES IN MY NEW $83K CAR AND DEPEND ON OTHERS TO HELP ME WHEN I AM STRANDED!! I AM DEALING WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF AUTOMAX FORD IN KILLEEN TEXAS. THEY HAVE BEEN KIND BUT UNABLE TO HELP ME. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE WAS FEB. 6, 2019
