Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Stalling to Dead [troppavseal]

Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Roof Rusting and leaking [philzex]
Go to Ford Mercury Paint Peeling on Facebook, Lemon law.com or the Zestar corporation website. There you will find everything you need to sue Ford. With a little effort and a little help from the sites above, you will win in court. I have an 08 Expedition that has paint falling off the aluminum. I sued and received 5k in damages. What ever you do don't let Ford fix it without ... Read More

Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Roof Rusting and leaking [philzex]
Have Ford supply the thickness data associated with your vehicle. If told its not available, request a factory representative to take paint thickness measurements of the roof. Thin paint will peel and cause rusting. Consumers have been having their new and pre-owned vehicles repainted by Ford outside the warranty period.

Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Roof Rusting and leaking [kennyk1019]

2004 Ford Expedition Stalling to Dead
I just purchased this 2004 Ford Expedition with 168,000 miles (highway) older couple who religiously brought in for every appointment as the manual directed. I have had it for almost a month and this week we noted it stalling while I was driving and I could start back up in neutral. The last couple of days it was stalling more and more...no warning, stuttering, or anything. Today I drove about 100 ... Read More

Recalls
I am wondering if anyone out there can enlighten me on the latest Ford recalls for the F-150 pickups and why the Expeditions are not included? The 2004 F-150s were recalled for faulty air bags but not the 2004 Expeditions. Both have identical steering wheels/interiors and I would assume use the same air bags. Now the gas tank straps on the 2004 F-150 are being recalled for excessive corrosion but not ... Read More

Re: Major Ford Flaw?? [hatecarprblms]

I remove the window switch from the driver's armrest, took it apart, and cleaned it all out. Put it back together, and it now works like a charm. Some dirt had built up ... Read More

Re: 2005 Ford Expedition Limited whining sound [eb6]
Be happy they will pay 50%. My 2004 EXP XLT with 113,000 the truck just stopped going one day with no warning would not take off from a stop sign. Bearing failure within transmission gearset cost $2800 for a full rebuild. At least I now have 75,000 miles in which to destroy it again and get a free (ha ha) rebuild. Than it will only be $1400 per transmission.

Widespread FORD Expedition paint problem

Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Roof Rusting and leaking [jroyalty]
I can't believe the rust problems with my Expedition. I don't consider a 5-6 year old low mileage vehicle that "old" in this day and age.... I can stick my hands up through the rockers on my truck. It really is inexcusable to have a vehicle rust out in this short of a period. I'd only consider getting another Ford for 2-3 year leased or planned on selling it after 3-4 ... Read More

Re: 2004 Ford Expedition Roof Rusting and leaking [kennyk1019]
I also have a 2004 Expedition (<50k miles) and its roof started rusting maybe a year ago but didn't perforate until 2 weeks ago. The dealer says the Ford warranty on perforation is 5 years (I checked the warranty manual and he's right). Unfortunately we've had the truck 5 1/2 years.

Expedition noise
I have a 2004 Ford Expedition. The vehicle makes a noise after it has been driven and parked.

If you have a button on your 2004 radio that says CD/Aux you can buy a great aux input adapter (http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piefrd03aux100.html) from Logjam Electrontics that will give you much better sound than something like a FM modulator. For 2003 or earlier models, we are subject to FM modulators like this one that plug directly into your radio's antenna port: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-FLly6yw4cys/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01. These wired versions are much better than the wireless ones.

Hope my post helped. Mine too would stop the grinding noise by switching to AWD. Obviously by being in AWD the system was no longer trying to keep the hubs locked out. We had to resort to AWD on the way back from the beach at Hilton Head Island this summer. On the hills in NC/SC the vacuum would drop with any extra gas pedal at all in 2WD high and ... Read More

Information on 4X4 problem, 2004 Expedition
After several trips to the local Ford dealer due to my front hubs making all sorts of grinding noises in 2w high, it was discovered that acid from the battery was eating holes in the vacuum lines mounted on the firewall right next to the battery. The noises were worse in 2wd high as the vacuum dropped going up grades. The 4X4 system apparently relies on engine vacuum through these lines ... Read More

Just bought a used 04 Eddie Bauer Expedition
Hi! I just purchased a used 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition and am really enjoying it. It only has 34000 miles and is still under warranty. It drives like a dream and is everything my family needs. I bought the car from a used car dealer, but the previous owner had installed these 22" chrome rims and tires on it. To make the deal, the dealer purchased a new set of 17" ... Read More

Re: 04 Expedition [ponton]
As a present owner of a 2004 Expedition and previoius owner of 2000, please let me offer the below. First the transmissions for the 1999 and 2004 are not the same unless both 99 and 2004 have the 4.6L engine in which case the unit would be the basic 4R70W. I have read that Mustang hot-rodders like this unit. If the 99 has the 5.4L, it got the H/D 4R100 that ... Read More

Re: 2004 Expedition, NBX [nbx]
Not so quick. A few weeks after the above vacuum leak was fixed I noticed that the 4wd was not working and the grinding noise had returned as I was helping my brother tow boats back to the marine store after the annual boat show. While waiting to get the vehicle in to the Ford dealer's shop, I researched the NHTSA website and found a TSB on this problem published even ... Read More

2004 Expedition, NBX
What is that old song about some good news today for a change? Thought I would share information about a strange noise that the subject has had for several months off and on pulling steep hills. Noise from the beginning was like something trying to engage up front in 4wd system, a harsh banging and clanging. Dealer techs passed it off as spark knock from bad gas from the Gulf after ...

Re: Any dealing from the Simple Plan Price [shasta2]
Back in late November I was offered an extra $1,000 owner loyalty rebate and $500 Shopping Spree (in lieu of $1,000 Shopping Spree credit card allowance) off the so-called Simple Plan Price on a new 2006 Expedition. The Shopping Spree ended here November 27th, but there is usually something similar that the dealer will dig up if you start to walk away. Big decision to go for a new 2005 Expedition ... Read More

2004 Expedition NBX, rear end and/or other noise
Dealer earlier replaced and then rebuilt(rebuild only Ford's new policy) rear diff in try to eliminate noise. 100% success the first time at 5,000 miles, but rear-end whine returned at 25,000 or so. Dealer unable to correct completely with rebuild and now claims the remaining problem is the wonderful OEM tires that Ford provides. The vehicle's only other problem in first 37,000 miles has been a loud clanging noise on hills ... Read More

I have a ESP until 100K I have 42K .I was told on another site............. Automotive Forums.com.I had the same problem with my previous Expedition, a 2003 model. It are the latches, but don't bother adjusting them... I got hands on the below Ford service message. The dealer ordered the kit (Weatherstrip and latches), installed it, and all rattles where gone.

Re: Vibration [javner]
My 2004 Expedition sounds like it has the same issue your's has. I'm on my FOURTH set of tires now. The first set were "out of round" according to the AZ dealer. All four replaced. The second set of TWO were "out of round" and "oh we just got a rash of bad tires lately"....BS....according to dealer. Third time they only replaced one tire, due to bad cupping/feathering, and completed alignment ... Read More

2004 Expedition Steering Vibration and Tire issues.
From day 1 my 2004 Expedition has had highway speed vibrations in the steering. At 70mph and up the steering wheel starts to vibrate. The EXP has been in for service 4 times. First two times dealer said tire problem. Third time the dealer said alignment and tire issue. Fourth time the same as third. Each time a new set of tires are placed on the front the vibration goes away ... Read More

Re: leather seats cracking [stowe]
We also have a problem with leather seats cracking. The middle row of our 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition has cracking in the center of the two-toned leather seats. This started about 6 months after we bought it. The dealer said they would not replace them until they are actually peeling off. One of the seats is almost there. There is no way this is normal wear and tear. The driver's seat ... Read More

Ford Expedition Clunking Noise
I have a 2004 XLT Expedition with 4 wheel drive. I have found that when it sits a day or two without being driven, It makes a loud clunking noise when it first starts up. I can not tell if it is the engine or transmission where the noise is coming from. Only 3,000 miles left on warranty, so I really need to locate this if it is a problem. I ... Read More

Re: Power window repair [itsjustchuck]
Same thing happened to me two days ago. I have a 2004 Expedition. It sounds like the same window set up as the 2003: wires and a spool. I pulled off the panel to discover the mangled wire that cannot be fixed. I called a local window repair shop and they came out to fix it. The entire regulator needs to be replaced. The regulator is the whole black plastic piece ... Read More

2001 v 2004
as the 2005 EB-KR I just bought is pretty much the same as the 04 from what Ive been told, I can personally state that the engine noise on my 05 seems a bit loud.

Re: 2003 expeditions are junk [toofarunder]
I had a 2003 Expedition that had the spring clip repair and all went well. Then later the rear end went out and I traded it for a 2004. Got a good enough deal due to closeout price and rebates to get back to where I was when I bought the 2003 new. Much happier with 2004 due to newer 4R75W transmission's performance (especially the downshifts) and less quick steering ratio ... Read More

Re: About those Ford Expeditions and Brake Dust [wkgmomof3]
I have a 2004 Ford Escape with 25,000 miles on it. At the turn of 25,000 miles, the brake light came on.

I believe that Ford Motor Co. has known this for years on most of ... Read More

Re: About those Ford Expeditions and Brake Dust [wkgmomof3]
As a 2003 Expedition owner, we have experienced this problem first hand and at only 17,000 miles!!!!!. I can't believe how many messages there are for 2003 Expedition brake problems, i.e. brake dust, pad problems, squeaking, whining, stopping problems, etc - I've just reviewed. I must say this info was helpful in just negotiating with the dealer (threatening would be more apropos). I could write a book on our experience- we ... Read More

Re: Post 989 [fx4]
Don't panic too much about that 150 ft-lbs. Ford service bulletin Article #03-22-4 says that all 2000 - 2004 F-150s equipped with 7 stud wheels and all Expeditions built after 11/27/99 use an increased thread stud/nut diameter from 12 mm to 14mm. The 14mm uses a 21mm socket and get torqued to 150 ft-lbs while the old 12 mm still gets torqued to 100 ft-lbs. I freaked also the first time ... Read More

Re: vibration on 03 expedition, bad tire? [ford_owner]
Think most all of us who have had the Contirac TR on late model Expeditions have had our share of similar problems. I contacted Continental in Charlotte, NC to complain about another batch of their "lumpy bumpy old things" on my 2004 Expedition. I got a voice mail from some nice lady about how wonderful their tires are and expression of concern I (more correctly they were having) was having problems. ... Read More

Removing Original Ford Oil Filter
It worked out that we have had several new Fords the last few years (due to wife's accident, etc.) I have found that it is nearly impossible to remove the oil filter on 4.6 and 5.4 engines at home.

Re: Dust Covers [bginsberg1]
The Ford Expeition brake pads were changed to some ceramic version at Job 2 date (say around 12/04) for the 2005 Expedition models. Local Ford dealer shop manager says the downside of the new ceramic pads is more brake noise. He said Ford would not replace mine with the cermaic type at no charge. At least one Edmunds post earlier said the Ford dealer replaced his pads with Ford Job 2 ... Read More
