Expedition is a Lemon

2005 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)

I loved this car the first four months I owned it. Then it started having nothing but problems. I have not driven it in two months and it is only five months old! Size and design is great but reliability is awful. I do love the bench in the front to seat nine. It makes the driver and passenger seats larger and more comfortable for long trips. Rear seat is also large and can actually seat adults. Inside looks so much more updated than the Suburban models. Flat fold seat is great -- and I did not get the power option. Seats flip down easily. My children can do it. Turning radius is great for such a large car, much better than my smaller Durango. Just be careful you don't buy a lemon.

Ive had several squeaks, bangs, and clicks that cannot be fixed. That is annoying. However, I really like the car - except for the gas mileage which is a killer! 16 mpg is THE MOST I have been able to get on the highway and with gas as high as it is - little car - here I come

We thought when we dropped 10,000 dollars on a 2005 Expedition with 88,000 miles, we had a steal. The only thing stolen is our bank account. The 5.4 triton is a nightmare to work on. I've actually been refused service at nonFord garages to work on it. Wow. The transmission went out over a year ago, and we're still having issues with the Ford replacement. Add the coil packs, and TWO driver window replacements (cheap ass clips) and we're just getting started. I will NEVER buy another Ford after this, and this turd can't leave my driveway fast enough. UPDATE: Edmunds asked for an update. Almost 3 years ago we finally took a loss and traded it on a 2006 Toyota 4Runner. The 4runner has been awesome. It's nice not getting hit every 30 days with some new repair being needed.

2005 Ford Expedition King Ranch 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)

My wife totaled 2004 E. Bauer in a head-on, good design saved her life, bought 2005 King Ranch 4WD with all options. I love the air suspension, it rides better than my supercrew which has a longer wheel base. My wife sells real estate and gets 14-15 mpg under the worst conditions, we have gotten 21.2 mpg from New Mexico to Dallas at 70 to 80 mph. I think the mpg is great considering the Expidition is 4 w/d and weighs 5600 lbs. w/3.73 ratio. This is our third Expidition and we would buy another one without hesitation

Overall the truck has been great and has stood up to the built ford tough. The interior and the exterior have held up very well. Only 2 minor problems and one was cause by the dealer not putting the clamp back on the radiator hose causing the hose to detach while driving and the other issue was a phaser that was covered by the extended warranty. Bought the truck with 22,000 miles and it now has 55,000 miles. The truck drives like a luxury car and has a great turning radius. This truck has turned out great comapared to our other truck a 04 chevy tahoe which has been in the dealer more close to 20 times for repairs alone the latest problem with that truck is the speedometer dont work anymore.
