Review
First SUV that I have owed and it has been a great experience. Basically the only problem that I have encountered was the rear windows squeeking when opening; they replaced the mechanisms (both windows) and the same thing happened. This occurs mainly during the winter months. Driver's window has a tendency to go up very fast during cold days. Also noticed a hummng noise in tranny when overdrive is turned off; dealer says that this is not a problem and I have not had any tranny issue. I do not have the load leveling and my SUV runs pretty smooth, great on long trips, and comfortable. Get about 18-19 on highway, powerful motor (5.4), sometimes don't realize the speed I'm going, good pickup for a big SUV. Love her!

This is the largest vehicle I have owned and my wife and I really love it! Before purchasing it, I read reviews like these and with Ford truck's word- of-mouth reputation, I purchased one. I haven't regretted it. I use it mostly on long trips. It is fun to drive and I feel safer on the road. Mine is a 2-wheel drive, but it handles great in rain or snow covered roads. Replaced the drivers heated seat element already and the passenger side is getting weaker. $600. dealer cost for one seat repair! Out of warranty, but the dealer paid half. Replaced the brakes, but no mechanical problems yet. Would buy another one!

I love the way this vehicle looks,
feels and drives. For an 8 passenger
vehicle we expect to have to pay more
in gas, but it's worth it, even the
kids love it. it's huge, i feel
totally safe in this vehicle, and for
some reason driving it, comes
naturally. AWESOME!!!!

I purchased the Eddie Bauer version of
this truck and I am more than pleased
with the perfformance and the quality.
The only negitive that I find with this
car is the fuel economy.

The Ford Expedition has been a great
vehicle for me. The contents of a
college dorm room can be crammed into
this SUV! Hauling kids and gear on a
daily basis is comfortable. Where I
live, lots of people drive big vehicles
and I feel safer being in one as well.
The only problem I've ever had with the
Expedition is the power side mirrors:
the directional button doesn't work well.

2nd Expedition for this family. First
was a '99 XLT - no major problems
(windshield wiper issue - and rear
wiper motor went - that's it) in 66K
miles. '02 Eddie Bauer (subject of
this review): After 44K miles: Rear
sensing system failed. Drivers heated
seat element failed. Minor build
issues (annoying) - headlight/foglamp
switch fell apart, read quarte pop-out
windows always noisy when operating.
Transmission FAILED at 44K miles.
Ford/dealer not standing behind their
product means that I will look at the
competition when the lease expires.
Ford / dealer - you lost a repear
customer.

Am I the only one that hates driving
this vehicle? I feel like I'm driving a
school bus because it's so huge, and
when I go to pump gas, it kills me.
I long for the compact car where I can
jump in and get my moneys worth.
Also, I know cars depreciate but I
didn't think it would be 18,000 less in
2 years. I finally convince my husband
to trade-in to a car that we can both
love and save money on.
After this car,..I'm looking into a
hybrid. Overall, I wish I saved my
money and bought a Lexus. Worth the
price and depreciate less.

This is my 3rd Expedition, I owned a
1997, 1999,2002 and in 2 days I am
picking up a 2004 Expedition, which
will be our 4th. I just love it and my
husband prefers this vehicle to the
Explorer. I love that I sit high and
can carry anything in the back, I can
just about haul anything. I drive some
distance to work and I am always
comfortable.I have never had a problem
with any of them,other than Goodyear
tires, they dont last.

This car is wonderful to drive. It is
much better than the Honda Passport
that I owned before this one. The gas
guzzling is the only down-fall. The
driver window pops really hard
sometimes when rolling it up. Other
than that the car is super and fun to
drive.

Almost to 60k miles now and it drives
like a new suv. Very good build quality.
Consistent power, smooth shifting,
easy towing. Quad captains chairs
provide easy access to third row seat).
Steering was a little "weird" recently;
I checked my tire pressures and found
that all four tires were low and
different. Filled to recommended PSI
(30/front and 35/rear for mine) and
steering was perfect again. Fuel economy
is typical (not good...
15-16 tops on the highway). Bottom line:
I'm keeping mine for a while.
