This a safety hazard for me other drivers on the road. Called town east ford in mesquite and talked to chat in service department and he said there is no recall.

“Rear and front differential leaks caused expensive fixes. Fuel issue is that the sensor doesn't work correctly in very cold weather and constantly shows zero miles to empty on information panel. Caused us to fun out of fuel on a few occasions. On the fuel this happens in motion, the differential was caught on a tune up and fixed at that time.”Owner report · Power Train · Sep 2018

“Lower retaining bolt between strut and wheel hub has failed causing head of bolt to shear off (see photos) on front passenger side suspension assembly. Bolt head was found lying in driveway and sheared bolt was found on inspection of vehicle. Vehicle may have been in motion at low speed or stationary at time of failure. Appears to be material failure of the bolt in which a cracked formed and propagated across the bolt until the it could no longer withstand shear forces. Am concerned about the 3 other retaining bolts on this vehicle at the other wheels.”Owner report · Suspension · Jun 2018

“When driving at normal speed, once vehicle has stopped for stop light it begins to shake badly.also when in park it shakes, the motor seems to be rattled by standing still. We carried it back to the dealer for service it still has the same issue with the shaking.on city streets. If stop for light it shakes. We had the vehicle since november of 2015, aren't able to drive it much because of the shaking. Afraid to drive ,feel unsafe for road travel. Shakes with a loud noise, such as rattling noise, or vibration. Has continued for as long as we've had the expedition.”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Jan 2016

“The brake sensor has malfunctioned and I am not able to take the vehicle out of park. If I depressed the brake pedal multiple times, it will finally sense the brakes and let me drive. Also, sometimes during driving the brake lights will not illuminate when pressed. Ford has issued a recall for this problem based on the date of manufacture. However, my model was not included as it was build 6 months prior to the timeframe outlined by ford. Clearly the recall needs to be expanded since the problem is occurring in a wider timeframe than was determined by ford. *tr”Owner report · Power Train · Jan 2015
