ford uses cheap parts that were not meant to last for years. Nice looking just not meant for long time use, just long enough to cover there standard warranty.

what the hell is up with the saggy ass end of my expedition? Any one know, I have not had it looked @ yet, the air suspension used to kick on and I could hear it, it has not kicked on for quite some time now.

My Expedition is used, but in good shape. A few months ago, I came out of a store to see the back-end of my truck slammed to the frame. I drove it home in its condition, in what was the bumpiest and most dangerous ride of my life. I took it to a ford dealership, who after gouging me with initial diagnostic fees told me it was some fuse. I paid over $300, and that was last month. A few days ago the back dropped out again. I took it to a local mechanic who said he believed it was a short in the wiring of the air pump, as his voltage levels were unusually fluctuating when he applied power to it. After starting the truck back up, it somehow raised it up. Regardless I took it to a Ford dealership. They called me today to tell me there was NOTHING they can do. They said it was in working condition, so there was nothing to diagnose, and that I would have to just wait until it crapped out on me again, and then bring it in. Well guess what?! As soon as I got home the piece of sh*t dropped again. I tried taking it back, but they conveniently were closed. I will take it back tomorrow, and if these people feed me the same line of bullshit, while charging me money for useless "labor" I'm going to start kicking ass.

As we all have gripes about our new/used cars, it is really frustrating when the vehicle has to go in to be repaired. Whether it is under warranty or not. I bought my 1998 Expedition new in January of 98. It has been in and out of the service department for recalls, few minor problems and the air suspension. Other than the few minor problems, the air suspension was the main reason why it had to go in for repair. Ford stood behind their 5 years of warranty that i paid for and repaired my car. BUT NOW that the warranty is up i still have an on-going problem with my suspension. Ford does not have a policy for pre-exsisting problems which is what I had 1 year from buying this car. . I spent $700.00 of my money to replace a broken torsion bar that was broke in doing that they screwed up my air suspesion on my car . First the passenger front side of the car was sagging 9 days after the torsion bar was put on (which was that side of the car!) Then they charged me another $99.00 to ajust the leveling of the car which was under my new warranty of 12 months/12000 miles. THEN i go to pick my car up at the dealership and the rear-end of the car was sagging so I left it there so they could fix there wrong doing. THEN while waiting for the car the mechanic tells me "he really doesn't know whats wrong with it. THEN they tell me that "I'm just going to have to be happy with the way the car is ". The paperwork I got was just for the adjustment on the front-end. NOW they wouldn't give me any paperwork for the work they've done since the "SAGGING REAR-END"which took the remainder of the day. I think FORD should really take a look at situations where when their employees treat loyal customers like crap thinking that we dont know any better. Well my car is going back in for the "SAGGING REAR-END" needless to say they'll try to get more money from me or try to sell me a new car, HA!

My truck really runs well but the drop in the rear end has really pissed me off.I'm wondering if it is the compressor which I no longer hear running or the bags. Tempted to to just cut my loses. Any suggestions?
