2000 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Overall I still wouldn't trade it for anything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My truck was wonderful when I first got it. Then one day p0401 code popped up. I had a hard time figuring it out. I replaced the DPFE sensor; the ends had burned up and clogged the lines.
Since then I replaced the hoses to it, and the sensor twice for a total of three. I learned that even though the part is new, it is can be bad. I haven't had any more problems with that.
I also had a problem with coolant leak at the back of the motor. It took a while to find, but I found three places that you should:
1. Look under the intake behind the alternator. There's a tube that goes in the back of the water pump. It leaks there.
2. Follow the tube to the back of the motor. There's a hose at the end. Check it, it will leak.
3. If the first 2 spots are OK, then check the intake gasket by a hose on the tube. It's on the passenger side. I had to replace all of these, but finally we were good once again.
General comments?
This truck isn't very good on gas, but it's roomy and very comfortable.
