2000 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Do Not Buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition Coils, Ignition Coils, and more Ignition Coils.
General comments?
Do not buy a Ford Expedition. We have a 2000 with the 4.6 and have had a lot of ignition coil problems. Car has 70,000 miles and have replaced three already, waiting for others to go out anytime. At over $100 each (there are 8) plus labor it is not cheap and ignition coils should not go bad this early. Ford knows about the design problem and is not doing anything about it. Our vehicle was purchased as a certified pre-owned at a Ford dealer and we also opted for the extended warranty which was not cheap. Come to find out that these ignition coils are not covered. This was our first and last Ford product, never again. Will probably look at imports. Poor warranty coverage along with bad design and poor quality, maybe this is why Ford is losing customers to imports. I really wanted to give Ford a shot, but never again. Ford better wake up.
