The same thing happened to my '93 Explorer. Is this just a Ford SUV thing?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I should note that all of these differences are very minor and you will not notice them, in all likelihood.
BTW, test drove an '03 and it seemed pretty nice. I got an "invitation" to take a test drive and get a free gift from Ford. You can choose a K2 duffle bag, some golf balls and a glove, or a debit card with $50 on it. Took the debit card to help pay for the repairs on my truck. How's that for sad irony?!
Dabush2 - no problems with the brakes. It would seem that the corrosion would occur with or without use, the difference would be if the corrosion would result in the freezing. Unless working the cable results in lubrication which protects the cable.
The oil leak problem which started at 5K miles is still ongoing at 10k miles. Head gasket has been replaced, still leaks from cylinder head. Ford Engineers are working on it. Tells me it's an isolated case. But I beg to differ after finding this site. Please respond with similiar problems.

This problem with leaky cylinder heads is not an isolated one. Ford knows about this problem and I feel they are not doing much about it. Remember the Pinto? I am still fighting at 10K miles. My Expy has been in the repair shop a total of 45 days (30 days on the first attempt, 15 days to date on the second attempt). Don't waste your breathe and time calling Customer Service, They are trained to be extra nice and do nothing about the problem.
1. Check Valve of some kind not functioning properly,
2. Common Problem and can be fixed with an oil change with synthetic oil and use CD-2 Additive,
3. This is a serious situation involving piston slap. Engine will probably last another 20-30K miles before rebuild is necessary.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of problem? Love my Expedition and want to keep it healthy.
I just traded it in for a 2001 Hyundai xg300 and couldn't be happier.

Also, has anyone experienced (what I will call) a low vibration when the car comes to a stop (but is still in gear)?
As for you 3dglasses, were you able to solve the problem? If so, did jrc346's suggestions help?

Has anyone else had this type of problem?
Are there specific tires that work best on this truck?
Has anyone made suspension/tire changes that have improved the handling?

MY question is pretty stupid, but curiosity is getting to me. The 290-watt Mach stereo is listed as coming with 7 speakers. WHERE are they?? I see one on each door (total of four) then an addition on the passenger side in the rear-near the third-row seat. Still can't find the other two!
Can anyone point them out?
I not sure where Ford stuck the speakers. My first guess would be on the dash or A pillars. If not there, I wonder if they stuck 2 speakers under a couple of those covers. Perhaps a tweeter and mid range under 2 covers. A mid range under 2 more, and the woofer in the back.
Someone offline told me that he had speakers -- little tweeters -- in the little corner where the front door windows meet the dashboard. I don't have those on this 2002 E.B. Expedition. I have just pieces of plastic. I have a total of four grills that say MACH on them and then the sub on the on the passenger side at the 3rd row seat.
The General Tires are being recalled and I would like to replace them with the Michelin P265/70R17.
Does anyone know if this can be done with the current stock wheels that came with the 2000 Ford Expedition?
Curious also if anyone has any other comments regarding these issues.
Thanks,
Check your Tahoe/Suburban boards and you'll find about 400 registered complaints about piston slap in the GM modular engines. That's their NEW ENGINE choice.
Just an FYI. Otherwise I am enjoying my SUV.

had it in three times for the driver's seat motor
breaking. Seems the seat has the new heating/AC
that I wanted, but it is a one piece seat and all.
The dealer has taken a seat out of another Exp. and put in mine and that broke too. It won't adjust up or down and makes a terrible sound. They
ordered a new seat, said it was here let's install it. Seems like they can't order the correct seat, it was for some other model! I called Ford and they said I was the only one with this problem. I think two seats from two Expeditions that both broke within days shows a problem. Dealer says I have to wait for a new one to come in. I own a 97 EB Exp. with 99,000 mi. It has never had any problems and it was one of the first made. I am so upset with the Exp, Ford and the dealer, I wish now I would have waited to see
how the "new" ones were doing. Anyone else have any problems with a 2003? Help please.
