Please Help Me!!!! I just purchased a 98 Expedition XLT last week and I am having problems already!!!! The Transmission is having trouble going into first gear. It's fine after I get started....it's only going into first.....has anyone had this problem? I had the transmission serviced, but it didn't help.
Also, the alarm keeps going off, and the key is not working (to sensor) in the ignition or in the door. The only way to turn it off is to unlock it with the keyless entry.
AND I was going down the road this morning and the brake light came on.....I'm freaking out!!!!!! Somebody please help!!!! I'm running out of money!
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 gets twice as much use as the others and it looks fine. The dealer said they would monitor the wear. We called the customer service and got the same song and dance. It looks ugly. Ford should stand behind the products they make or use. Our GM van's leather seats didn't start showing wear until 8 years of use.
thankss....
thanks... :confuse:
Welcome aboard - glad you're enjoying your Expy. Just an FYI - people tend to ignore posts written in ALL CAPS so you may want to chack that CAPS LOCK button on your keyboard.

You might want to check the air pressure in all the tires. It may be the tires are over filled. This can cause a hard rough ride. Just a suggestion.
I agree with the post about checking your air pressure. Also, I would have the tires balanced as well. What kind/type of tires are on the vehicle?
good of you to try to help out jswags.
if the tires check out for good pressures and balance, maybe they just need to be replaced. check how much tread is left. my wife's escape has conti's. hate them.
it is probably cheaper to get some good tires than 'start over'.
And it should fit in your garage!

And Ford and GM wonder why they are in trouble!!
mileage difference over the short Voyager (empty)was slight.
But of course, I could be wrong again.

I have the 2nd row C/C, but have found them to have only about 15" seat height, a bit hard, and not very well suited for grown-ups. 2nd row C/C do give additional floor room and better access to 3rd row seat. Preferred 40/60 2nd row seating in my previoius 2000 by far to current 40/20/40 or even the 2nd row C/C.
Good luck.

This is Ford's second "major" revision of the Expedition, and once again they did an interior upgrade, some mechanical refinements and a styling change to the front clip. Why do they persist in thinking that they can use the same greenhouse, windows and doors (with an occasional tailgate change) over and over and still stay at the front of the pack? They don't do this with the F150 anymore, but they have with the Explorer (until 2002 when the first fully new body since 1990 debuted...and then repeated that body in the 2006 "makeover"), the Windstar/Freestar, the poor neglected Ranger (same profile since 1993), Crown Vic, Escape, etc.
I'm sure lots of money and engineering went into the 2007 update, but from the side and rear, even enthusiasts will be hard-pressed to tell a 2006 and a 2007 Expedition apart at a glance.
The Expedition should sell ok (within the now reduced sales levels of large SUVs), but the Tahoe will be the "latest thing", and that will give it a sales advantage (as long as most people do not find the styling objectionable...and it appears they don't).
To the doom and gloom folks, I agree with Zman3. There is still a market for big honkin' SUVs. Soccer moms with only one or two kids will trade their Explorers for more fuel efficient alternatives. But the rest of us who truly need three rows and don't want a minivan are happy to see the new EL and Suburban on the market.
