Electrical fire today. Vehicle was parked outside garage. A clicking noise was heard and noticed the mirror was trying to move/click and car was filled with smoke. Mirror switches didn't work when tried. Knocked mirror off and fire stopped. Wiring Harness around the emergency brake area melted. Fire melted a hole in the dash corner by windshield. Vehicle was last driven about 25 hrs. earlier with no issues. Approx. 128K miles. Glad it wasn't in garage and the clicking was heard or garage/house would have burned. We haven't done anything to it yet.

Unknown, transmition left me stranded on busy highway. Managed to get it moved off the road before being hit. After getting it home and not driving for a period of time it can be started and moved with no issue. Drive to town no problem parked it to take care of some business and when I went to leave I couldn't back out of the parking place. Got it home and let it sit again. Needed to move it out of the way all was good started it and moved it across the yard and backed it in no problem. Had K&O auto look at it and was told it needs a transmission. I see allot of complaints about this issue from others without Ford being held responsible to correct the problem. Nice vehical said I can't afford to get it fixed, now driving a 500.00 used vehicle to get around, it is an eye sore but gets me around ok. Would rather enjoy the expidition if Ford would fix the issue that 1000's have had.

Crash
THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING (AT ANY SPEED) AND OFTEN WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MAY ALSO NOT START AT ALL THEN START WITHOUT EXPLANATION. THE MOST COMMON RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL RELAY. TO DO SO, YOU MUST REPLACE THE SMART JUNCTION BOX/FUEL RELAY PANEL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS MENTIONS AND IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE AND COMMONLY BECOMES A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE AND ODDS OF ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. DIAGNOSES TYPICALLY REQUIRES COMPLETE FAILURE BECAUSE THE SYMPTOMS CAN RARELY BE DUPLICATED. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY WITH COMPLETE FAILURE HAPPENING. HARDWIRING THE FUEL PUMP RULES THAT OUT. FUEL RELAY IS FOUND TO BE HOT TO THE TOUCH.

MULTIPLE AND INTERMITTENT ENGINE STOPPAGE. THE ENGINE STALLS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC CAUSING HAZARD TO SELF AND OTHERS. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING MAKES CONTROL OF VEHICLE DIFFICULT AS POWER STEERING IS NON FUNCTIONAL AS YOU ATTEMPT TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROAD. BRAKING SYSTEMS ALSO ARE MOSTLY NON FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT THE VACUUM CREATED BY THE RUNNING ENGINE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP QUICKLY. THIS PRESENTS A DIRE EMERGENCY CONDITION FOR THE SURPRISED DRIVER, AND A HAZARD TO OTHER OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS NEARBY. A DRIVER WHO IS SMALL IN STATURE MAY BE UNABLE TO MAN-HANDLE THE STIFF STEERING CONDITION. ONCE STOPPED, THE ENGINE MAY RESTART RIGHT AWAY OR NOT, STRANDING OCCUPANTS IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT CHAIN INVOLVING LIFE AND DEATH. FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE IS THE CAUSE AND VERY COMMON, (100S OF THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM). THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS THESE EXPEDITION VEHICLES IN A WIDESPREAD FASHION SIMILAR TO THE LCM SAFETY ISSUE WITH ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT, THE CROWN VICTORIA. (A RECALL WAS ORDERED ON THIS ISSUE FOR SOME OF THE MODEL YEARS) THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 8 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS SINCE OWNING THIS 2004 VEHICLE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALER WHO STATE THEY MAY NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR UP TO 3 WEEKS TO OBSERVE THE FAILURE MODE. (IT IS INTERMITTENT)
