I just bought a 2000 ford expedition eddie bauer. So far, so good, and I love it. However, I'm in need of a parts or parts. I'm sure you expedition owners will know what I'm talking about when I say the interior ceiling handles that you grab to get into the back seat when entering through the back doors. They have two bolts through them. Theses bolts are covered with little, oblong, plastic covers that snap into place. I need two of them! If I knew exactally what they were called, I would know what to ask for!! I'm going crazy here! Let me know, and thanks!

I'm done with Fords, especially expeditions. Problem is I can't get out of mine. My first two did not depreciate nearly as fast as these. After 1.5 years it's worth 50% of what I originally paid. And I paid "A plan" price.
Yes, due to gas prices larger SUVs are losing a lot of value because poeple aren't buying them. But I also think it's because this model has soooo many problems and a bad rap.
similar with my air compressor except the valve popped very loudly and Ford wanted almost
$1000 to replace the compressor. I got a hold of customer service as my warranty had just
ended a few months earlier although I had not hit the mileage yet. They got the price lowered
considerably. Unfortunately the compressor lasted three weeks and the same loud pop again.
Ford replaced that one and it's been good for one year now. You got out much cheaper then
I did but I still think any car/truck should go 100,000 miles before any repairs should be
expected except for normal wear like brakes and batteries.
compressor problems. I have 93,700 miles on the vehicle and developed a noise just after
start up before the air compressor had a chance to fill the system that I determined was the front passenger side air shock. Since I could not find any after market shocks I purchased two from Ford and had an front end specialist who has experience with Cadillac and Lincoln load leveling systems install the shock for me. Three trips to the mechanic and my Expedition still has the same problem. I seem to have a leak coming from the connection on the driver side from the air hose to the shock. Consequently my compressor continues to run trying to fill the shock. Oddly enough, the "check suspension" light never comes on but the compressor will burn itself out if left on during anything more then a short trip. Any suggestions on sealing the leak? Is it recommended to change the hoses as well as the shocks? Could one of the new shocks be bad? Do you have to evacuate all the air from the system before installing the hoses so it gets an even fill? any suggestions would be most helpful
Very sorry to hear about your Expy- we brought ours in about a month ago to have the cruise control switch "disabled" as a first step, and I'm gald we did after reading your post and others that went "up in flames". Funny thing is, there seems to be no urgency with Ford to produce the numbers of switches needed to complete the recall and fix. I was told today "maybe mid-end of May" for switch availability. Meanwhile, no operational cruise control. Better than a fried chassis in the driveway, I guess, but I'm dissapointed in the way Ford is handling this.
My noise up front in the 2003 Expedition FX4 was more like a rumble when the setting was in 2WD on level ground speeds of 30-50 mph. The S clip repair fixed it after a couple of visits for wild goose chases on tires. Had to steer Ford guys to source of noise and repair method. S clip repair in the front differential stopped the noise immediately and there was no further trouble.
Some of the Edmunds' posts and TSBs mention a clunk heard up front as actually being the rear limited slip axle making a clunk that only sounds like it is coming from the front of the vehicle. There was no clunk with mine above, just the rumble in 2wd like the AWD setting was on and having its worst day as far as noise went. Before the repair, the rumble in 2wd in the mornings would mostly go away only to return the next morning.
Hope this helps!
What do you make of this? Could it be caused by the detailing? Are the prices in line? PLEASE HELP! My husband is saying thanks alot for touching his car..and I'm stuck getting the situation rectified..as he drives off each day with my car!!!
Thanks in advance for your reply and attention.
I have a 00' EB Expedition and there is an annoying clicking sound coming from around the front tires. It makes the noise going slow or fast but is more noticable at slower speeds. I noticed an old post with someone experiencing the same problem but couldn't find a reply. If anyone else has had this problem please reply.
Thanks
I have another problem with my 00' EB Expedition. My rear left tail light doesn't work. Of course I have replaced the bulb. I have used a test light and am just not getting any power to the rear. The side mirror and front lights work. Is there another relay or something ? I have tried tracing the wire back to the relay but haven't found any breaks or shorts. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
I haven't had it looked at yet. What did your dealer/mechanic indicate was the cause?
Thanks
I've briefly checked some of the previous problems and weird noises sound common. Is there a simple solution?
Any ideas? Also, how much should I expect to pay to replace the 4x4 shift motor?
Thanks for any and all advice.

Did you ever find out what the problem was? Any help you can offer will be appreciated as we are getting very frustrated with the vehicle at this time.
I am working with the dealer to determine what happened (something pushing from the inside, etc.). In the meantime, I was wondering if paintless dent removal could fix this reverse dent. Since it is small (not raised much) would using PDR be more harm than good. Also, if it is determined that there is a wire or some other object in the door that caused the problem what recourse do I have with Ford? Could body flex have caused this? The car only had 4 miles on it when I bought it.
I am a bit miffed about the whole thing since I drove 3 1/2 hours to buy the $47k car my wife wanted only to find something like this happen after only 250 miles of driving it. I am sad to say the least. Hopefully Ford makes this right.
