problem #1

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
The complete engine failure occured gradually..the dealer never was able to diagnosis it until coolant in cylinders 1 and 4 caused the vehicle to not start. The control-trac is very disconcerting since the traction control system will not stay in 4 wheel drive when it has been selected to do so. I have turned this vehicle in for servicing for this problem on 8 occasions with no resolution....
