TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY LOST TIRE PRESSURE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED AN IDENTICAL FAILURE WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. A LOCAL TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THE VALVE STEM AS BEING THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THEY MADE THE REPLACEMENT. AFTERWARDS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE NEW SET OF VALVE STEMS WERE CORRODED AND DEFECTIVE. SHE CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VALVE STEMS. THE VALVE STEM INFORMATION WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 33,000.
BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY. PADS WEAR VERY FAST. ROTORS WEAR EASILY AND NEED REPLACEMENT WITH PADS EACH TIME. WHEN BROUGHT TO HAVE ROTORS TURN, WAS TOLD THEY ARE MANUFACTURED WITH VERY LITTLE TOLERANCE AND COULD NOT BE TURNED EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS MINIMAL VISIBLE WEAR. WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT "MIC" WITH ENOUGH RANGE TO TOLERATE THE CUT WHEN TURNING. ROTORS SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACEMENT WITH EACH BRAKE CHANGE. EXCESSIVE BRAKE DUST. BRAKE DUST HAS EATEN AWAY AT FINISH ON RIMS. AFTER LAST BRAKE REPAIR, FRONT END NOW HAS A CLICKING SOUND. BRAKE PEDAL HAS ALWAYS FELT SPONGY. ON TWO OCCASIONS WITH AGGRESSIVE BRAKING CONDITIONS, BRAKES LOCKED UP. TOLD DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THIS IS NORMAL WITH THE FORD BRAKING SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FOG LAMP NOT STAYING LIT AND THE METAL REFLECTOR PIECE IN THE FOG LAMPS COMING LOOSE. WE...
PURCHASED NEW 2003 EXPEDITON EDDIE BAUER IN 10/03. DOORS RATTLE AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT CLOSED. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES (THEY'VE HAD VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO SIX WEEKS TOTAL). PROBLEM STILL EXITS. SOO MUCH BRAKE DUST ON FRONT WHEELS THAT THEY ARE PITTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS FORD WON'T COVER THE WHEELS BECUASE OF DUST. *AK
