2008 FORD EXPEDITION Electrical System Problems

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.

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...

ISSUE WITH TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONALITY ON A 2008 FORD EXPEDITION LIMITED EL. THE RIGHT TURN INDICATOR WILL START FLASHING EVEN THO IT IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. MOVE THE TURN INDICATOR LEVER DOWN OR LEFT AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR WILL TURN OFF. IT MAY SART THE LEFT INDICATOR EVENTUALLY IF IT DOES MOVING BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WILL TURN IT OFF AND ACT NORMAL. IT IS CONSTANTLY DOING THIS WHILE MOVING OR SITTING STILL MOTOR RUNNING OR NOT. IT IS VERY INCONSISTENT AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THE INDICATOR TURNS ON AND A CAR THINKS I AM GOING TO TURN AND I DONT MAY LEAD TO A COLLISION.

DROVE TO WORK ALL APPEARED TO BE FINE. AFTER A 12 HOURS SHIFT RETURNED AND VEHICLE WOULD START; DEAD BATTERY. REPLACED BATTERY, AS IT WAS ORIGINAL, AND ALL WAS FINE. I REMEMBERED THAT DURING THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THIS WAS AROUND APRIL 2014. ALL WAS FINE UNTIL AGAIN I WENT TO WORK, 12 HOUR SHIFT, RETURNED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE UPON INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. BATTERY GAUGE NEEDLE DID NOT RESPOND AND WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. A JUMP PACK WAS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, STARTED AND STOPPED FIVE TIMES WITH NO PROBLEMS. AS BEFORE, FOR THE PAST WEEK OR TWO LEADING UP TO AUG 5TH, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY...

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. SLOWED VEHICLE TO A SAFE SPEED AND RPM'S JUMPED TO 3000. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE RPM'S REMAINED AT 3000 AND THE ENGINE RACED LOUDLY. TOOK VIDEO OF FOOT PEDAL, TACHOMETER AND UNDER HOOD TO RECORD INCIDENT. THIS SELF ACCELERATION HAPPENED IN MARCH AT 99,000 MILES AND WIFE WAS NEARLY KILLED (ODI #10450449). THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER VEHICLE IS RE-STARTED VEHICLE APPEARS TO RUN FINE. *TR

POWER REAR HATCH FAILURE - AFTER OPENING REAR DOOR, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME BACK DOWN WITH THE MOTOR. IF SOMEONE WAS STANDING AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD HIT THEM, AND STOP, BUT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THIS KEPT REPEATING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS UNTIL THE DOOR NO LONGER OPENED VIA THE POWER OPENER. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, ALL THEY FOUND WAS THAT THE DOOR HAD "LOST IT'S PROGRAMMING" AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS STARTING OCCURRING AGAIN. *TR
