2001 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Great all around hauler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shifter became loose around 100k miles, and starting became an issue in park. Searched the web and found a site that described the problem; a loose bracket on the shift cable under the dash. Took ten minutes and problem was resolved.
I expected slightly better fuel mileage.
Have noticed some random misfires when accelerating up hill. Searched the web, sounds like maybe I have a coil on plug starting to go.
General comments?
Over all we are VERY pleased with the vehicle. We have added 65k miles in less than 3 years, and it still runs strong. We use it in the Colorado mountains and it performs great, even pulling our 5k pound boat. Lots of room and comfort.
