Unknown about what causes the issue but was Told it was manufacturers fault not mine. Insurance adjuster came out as well and said that my full coverage won-€™t cover anything at this point and told me as well to go contact the manufacturers to see what the option are available
As soon as you start the vehicle the battery symbol displays on the dash, it goes on and off chiming repeatedly, then switches from battery symbol to wrench symbol and then my entire gauge cluster starts. Every light goes on and off repeatedly, the RPM gauge and mph drops to zero and the engine clunks really loud (while driving), the ac or heat will completely turn off and on, the headlights flicker and dim on and off at night while driving, bad vibration, loud growl type idle sound, the radio shuts off, when you turn the heater on it repeatedly clunks in the rear of the vehicle until you turn ac on again or shut it off, rear air suspension light goes on and off while driving. This all happens whenever it wants. I shut off the car and restart and the problem will stay gone and drive normal until it cools again and then restart the vehicle. This vehicle has been tested at 3 shops and turned away by all because they don't know where to start as they are scanning the vehicle and 17 codes came up. They started testing each item with a code and all came back as functioning properly. So I believe it's either electrical or one of the brains/computers of the vehicle?. it is becoming a safety concern and I need help.

Car horn sounding repeatedly, lights flashing, dash electrical indicators flashing, etc. Car will not start. Unless car remains locked, these events occur over and over throughout the day and night. Car is completely unusable. This is a known defect that Ford will not acknowledge nor correct and it has continued to build vehicles with this design flaw. NHTSA closed this issue with no action.
My Expedition just turned off while driving about 45 mph, I felt my seat go back and the lock out light was flashing on the dash. Thought would be a simple fix when the Ford mechanic looked at it said a wire hit the frame and burnt out the entire fuse box. 4 grand out of pocket!
Driver side power window operates very slow, sometimes stops when trying to close. Both driver and passenger windows freeze shut wont operate till car is has been warmed for several miles.
I have had multiple power window failures on my 2007 Ford Expedition. The front passenger and driver side windows will not operate due to failed regulators. The drivers side window has now failed twice. It was repaired in 2009.
The ac blower would work at times and other times it would not blow any cold air. I took it to the local Ford dealer and was told the original blower motor had defects and a new motor was produced. It also required new wiring and a new blower control cell would be required. Cost over $300. With this type of problem I would think it should be a recall and repaired by Ford.
Vehicle started to intermittently and then permanently stop allowing the vehicle to be shifted from park after the vehicle was turned off. Ford's assessment was the that full shifter needed replacement at 70 thousand km (40 thousand miles).
The sliding car icon displays quite often, always on dry pavement. Usually for a short time during that time the brakes do not operate properly. They act as though the ABS have engaged themselves and make it almost impossible to stop. It has happened over 10 times to me in the 15 months that I have owned the truck. The dealer checked the problem and reported that there was nothing wrong.
