THE HORN DOESN'T WORK AT ALL EVEN WHEN LOCKING WITH THE KEYLESS FOB. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK AT ALL. I CAN ENGAGE THE E-BRAKE AND THE LIGHT WON'T TURN ON IN MY DASH. NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WORK AT ALL.
I JUST PURCHASED A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BOWER EDITION AND THE FRONT END SQUEAKS. SO I ACCESSED THIS SITE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME CONDITION. AFTER READING THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM WORRIED THAT MINE WILL DO THE SAME THING. I'M CONSIDERING PARKING THE VEHICLE AND NEVER USING IT AGAIN. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THEM REPAIR THE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. TO HAVE THE FRONT END REPAIRED ON MY EXPEDITION WOULD COST AT LEAST $1500.00 OR MORE. I AM ON DISABILITY AND CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH.

VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES SAFELY ONLY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC CLOSE ENOUGH TO BLOCK OR CHALLENGE THIS EMERGENCY NEED. BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND WELL EITHER. ACCIDENT AND INJURY COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED. AIR CONDITIONING REMAINED RUNNING LIKE NORMAL BUT THE OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER INCIDENT BEGAN. ONCE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. THE STEERING AND BRAKES BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. IT WAS DRIVEN SLOWLY HOME WHERE IT REMAINS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A LARGE VEHICLE LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE BEING DRIVEN. I COULD NOT HAVE STEERED CLEAR OR...
