they could not be responsible for it. It can only happen from the inside out. With all
the excitement of getting a new vehicle you could of missed it . I had one on my
old car, I did nothing about it and soon forgot about it. I have seen PDR done
on vehicles with great results, Again Good Luck in having Ford fix it. Let us know
The car has power, but it won't crank at all.
I just hear a "click" noise.
The inside lights and dash lights are fine.
Any ideas on what the problem could be???
When you went to replace the stock ContiCraps TRs, what brand/model tire did you go with? Are you happy with your selection. I'm interested in on-road, quiet touring tires.
And the big question I have: Has anyone switched to blackwall tires? Seems they look great on almost every other SUV but even with trillions of Expys on the road, I've not seen one without raised white letters.
I've had excellent service from my 2004 (28,000 miles) but the tires have been less than I expected in terms of durability (tread damage, nails etc).
Thanks!

Also, when I am driving, I hear a lot of rattles from the console, dash, etc... I know it's just things loosening up since it's almost 5 years old, but if I take the expy in to have the shocks worked on, can I also ask that they tighten up all the loose parts in the interior too? I know years ago, anytime my mom got one little rattle in her car, she told her mechanic and he took care of it... her cars hardly ever made any noise at all... can this kind of thing still be done? :confuse:
Thanks!
Any fashion sensitive Expy owners try the blackwall? How does that look?
I got rid of my contcraps when I purchased my expy and I went with the Bridgestone Dueller AT Revo. The ride is smooth and quiet. Also the revos are rated very good traction in rain and snow. I do not remember the price but check out tirerack.com.
Also my warranty is up in about 10000mi. What would you suggest for warranty?
The good news is that it is fairly easy to do it yourself and there are companies that make aftermarket parts for MUCH LESS than you would pay the dealer. I purchased the compressor (which comes with the dryer) and air springs all for under $500. It will take around 2-3 hours to install. All of their parts are new and not refurbs and are working very well in my Expedition. There is a guide on their site for a Crown Victoria that is almost exactly the same procedure as for the Expedition. And once you have the parts in hand it will make much more sense.
If you decide to tackle this project I found it much easier to remove the connector that fits into the air spring and install it outside of the vehicle. It took some tapping with a rubber mallet to get it into place.
The company that I purchased the parts from was http://www.arnottindustries.com
They were fast and friendly. I had them overnight the parts to me and everything was delivered as planned.
If you need any advice installing the parts just send me a message.
Hope this helps.
I have to say that I am disappointed with the fact that something like this passed quality control on a vehicle that has a sticker of $47k. I am surprised at how expensive Fords have become as the quality degrades. This will be the last new car that I buy since I am now convinced they are not worth the prices that they ask nowadays. At least my wife is happy with it!
Anyone had this problem with the reverse sensor system? Ideas? Is it a sensor or the system?
Driver power seat (EZ option got stuck ) and Drivers side mirror vibrated. All
minor issues that were fixed . 9300 miles on it now. Runs great. No issues.
I think its the best truck out there for the $. Took a 800 mile trip to Buffalo over
the weekend. No issues. 17.2 miles to the gallon at 72 mph as per the computer.
Actual computation 16.77.for one tankful
I just had tie rods replaced around the same time this started. Related?
Anyone have any idea what's up with this and/or cost?
Thanks.
The dealer said they would not submit it this to Ford because of the high mileage. I strongly disagreed. I do not believe 88K miles is high miles for a 1999 vehicle that has been parked in the garage every night for the 6-plus years we've owned it. My feeling is: this is a defect that should be covered by Ford. I have never experienced sedimentary bolts just breaking in half and dropping to the floor. Does anyone out there have a similar experience? I would appreciate hearing back
I am taking it to the dealer the end of the week for this and a few other issues :confuse: .
Good Luck !
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
