1998 Ford Expedition eddie bauer review from North America
"Safe in drunk driving collision!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One coil pack needed replacing $130.
Harness (something to do with intake) had a hole in it and needed replacing along with new brakes (expected) total was $350 for all.
Back seat is only for children due to lack of leg room, but great for kids with side cup holders, etc.
General comments?
Handles great and runs smoothly. Extremely comfortable.
We were impacted in the rear panel by a drunk driver running in excess of 50 MPH and my expedition held up SUPERB. Cop was shocked at how well it took that impact and we all walked away with only sore muscles. Car is probably totaled due to damage underneath after running over a bumper from other vehicle, but passenger compartments were extremely safe and that is what matters when you have children as we do. We will be in the market for another Expedition if this one is totaled. Preferably the 2003 since the third seat folds into the floor. This really does make a difference for groceries, hauling, etc.
