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.
One day, out of nowhere, my dash displayed “tire pressure sensor fault”.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH downhill, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle spun out of control. The rear-end of the vehicle clipped a telephone pole and spun around in the other direction, the vehicle then went down an embankment and crashed into a rock wall. The contact stated that the air bags deployed as needed. The contact stated that she had a fractured ankle but was unsure whether the injury was from the crash or prior to the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and then towed to the contact’s grandmother’s home. The vehicle was not repaired. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.
PAINT IS CHIPING FROM THE HOOD AND FROM THE TRUNK DOOR. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT IT VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT DRIVES VERY SMOOTH, BUT ONCE I HIT ABOVE 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTS TO FEEL SHAKY. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
MY GIRLFRIEND AND I CAME HOME, I PLACED THE SUV IN PARK. I WAS FULLY OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND INFORMED ME THAT THE KEYS WERE STILL IN THE IGNITION. I REACHED INTO THE VEHICLE TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE CAR WAS WHAT I ASSUMED TO BE OFF. THE SUV BEGIN TO REVERSE. THE DRIVEWAY WAS ON AN INCLINE AND I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE GEAR WAS TRYING TO CATCH. I WAS FULLY OUT OF THE SUV WITH A BAG IN MY HAND, BUT THE SEAT BELT LOCKED ON MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE WASN'T ABLE TO GET OUT OR GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE SUV WAS STOPPED BY TREES AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT, THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION STILL, THE CAR WAS IN PARK, IN ORDER TO GET...
THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN REVERSE FROM OUR GARAGE AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED. IT HIT A TREE. MY WIFE SUFFERED THREE BROKEN RIBS AND A BROKEN LEG. I SUFFERED SEVERE BRUISES. A VIDEO OF THE ACCIDENT IS AVAILABLE IN MP4 FORMAT. THE POLICE REPORT AND THE INSURANCE CLAIM CAN BE OBTAINED. THIS VEHICLE MODEL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN LAWSUITS ACCUSING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THAT TORE UP ABOUT FIVE CARS IN A HOSPITAL PARKING LOT AND ONTO ON COMING TRAFFIC.
WHEN I START MY 2008 EXPEDITION ITHE MOTOR MAKES A CLATTER SOUND, THEN IT STOPS AND ALSO INSIDE THE TRUCK THE ACTUATOR DOOR INSIDE THE DASH MAKES NOICE, THEN IT STOPS. THE PASSENGER HANDLE IS LOOSE I THINK IT'S MISSING THE SPRING THAT RETURNS IT. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY. TODAY IS 30 NOVEMBER 2016.
MY TRUCK WAS ON AND IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES ENGAGED. NO HILL. I WAS ON FLAT SURFACE( MY DRIVEWAY).TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE & HIT MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE.
