1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Terrible! It has been nothing but a money-pit since day one, and we are stuck paying for it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squeak constantly; even after having them replaced.
"Door Ajar" light constantly malfunctions... causing outside/inside lights to remain on.. even after vehicle is shut off.
Transmission problems, causing "service engine" light to remain on, as well as the "overdrive" light to blink continuously... had it fixed, and it happened again 2 months later.
Shuts down in the middle of driving.. for example: driving on highway, and truck just shuts down.
Service engine light is always on.
Theft deterrent system malfunctioned, causing truck to believe "I was stealing it!"
Problems everyday... too many to list.
I've yet to figure out why Ford cannot fix, or find what's wrong with the vehicles they BUILD!
General comments?
I've yet to figure out why Ford cannot fix, or find what's wrong with the vehicles they BUILD!
I've taken it to the dealer 3 times, and they don't mind charging you for diagnostics; yet they can NEVER figure out why the car doesn't work!
