2007 Ford Expedition problems
The Ford Expedition is a full-size three-row SUV, manufactured by Ford. Introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor of the Ford Bronco, the Expedition was the first full-size Ford SUV sold with a four-door body. For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F-150 in production, sharing some body and mechanical components. The fourth-generation Ford Expedition began production for the 2018 model year. Similar to the configuration of the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the Ford Expedition is sold in regular and extended lengths (the Ford Expedition EL/Max); sold since 2007, the latter functionally serves as the replacement for the Ford Excursion.
Since 1997, the Lincoln division has marketed the Ford Expedition as the Lincoln Navigator, the first full-size SUV sold by a luxury auto brand in North America (the Expedition was never sold as a Mercury). The third Ford vehicle to use the Expedition nameplate, the full-size SUV follows a 1992 F-150 Eddie Bauer concept vehicle and a 1995 trim level package on the two-door Ford Explorer Sport.
Prior to 2009, the Ford Expedition was assembled at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan (previously home to the Ford Bronco). After 2009, the Ford Expedition was moved to the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky.

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE GO BACK TO NORMAL BY SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT.

I HAVE VISITED MANY SITES AND UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND NOTHING CAME FROM THIS SUIT. THIS STARTED AROUND 2-3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR 2-1/2 HOURS AND JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO ENTER INTO MY HOUSING PLAN, WHEN MY CAR LOST RPMS, BECAME VERY ROUGH, AND THEN STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON OPEN IT ROAD IT RIDES GREAT UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE RPM FALLS, THEN IT STUMBLES AND STALLS. I HAD AT THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT GET IT DIAGNOSED. OVER THE WEEKEND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY LITE AND AS I STATED IT IS THE CAM POSITION SENORS AND STATES THAT THE SYSTEMS TOO RICH. I TALKED WITH A FORD REP TODAY AND THIS WILL BE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR BILL, BUT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THEM AND THEY PLACE ON THEIR COMPUTER, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME THEIR FINAL ESTIMATE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED OR I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE MANY MISGIVINGS ABOUT THIS SINCE ALL THAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FAULTY ENGINE, AND BUYERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BUYING A USED VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

Positive 2007 Ford Expedition car reviews

I have the EL and I love it. When driving long trips, I sometimes wish it had a little more power when trying to pass. I don't quite understand Ford's color scheme when they designed my truck. It's the Pueblo Gold with black/grey interior trim and black/peanut butter leather seats. However, after doing my homework, I couldn't find another SUV that even comes close to this one. Go Ford!

I was considering purchasing a new vehicle since my '99 Expedition had served me well. However, after test driving the new 2007 model, I knew I had to have it. The ride and comfort are exceptional compared to my old vehicle. The new engine and transmission combination is fantastic, effortlessly pulling my 5500lb boat with its 6 speeds. Ford has truly outdone themselves with this design. Additionally, the gas mileage is better than my '99, and I'm hopeful that it will improve even further with a diesel option, perhaps by 2010. With a child on the way, I'm certain that I'll get plenty of use out of it.

I've been leasing a new Expedition every 3 years for the last 12 years. I must say, the '04 model was Ford's first real effort to improve the overall performance and quality, but the '07 model is outstanding! The ride is the most significant change, and the availability of options is very impressive. Now, I have heated and AC seats, a remote up/down rear lift gate, and power rear folding seats that are worth their weight in gold. The center console shifter is also far more convenient. The car has a firmer, tighter, and more stable ride. Allegedly, the car has thicker windows and noise suppression metal, and I definitely believe it's true. The interior is much quieter while driving than the '04 model.

The Expedition is a fantastic vehicle! The 2007 redesign has made it look great on the outside and very comfortable on the inside. You get many of the features found in high-end SUVs such as the Escalade and Denali, but at a much lower cost. Despite its size, it doesn't feel like a large SUV when steering, parking, or braking. The interior cabin is quiet, with minimal wind noise at freeway speeds. The tires on the 20

I'm so glad I purchased this truck! I recently took it on a 1800 mile tour and it performed flawlessly. My previous truck was a 2WD 2006 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 engine (I think). That Explorer had an incredible amount of power when accelerating. It could match or beat many new lightweight cars. In comparison, my Expedition is a bit slower, but it's a small price to pay for everything else being so great!

Are you having problems with your 2007 Ford Expedition?
Blair Armstrong 2024-07-10
In the four months since I purchased the Limited fully equipped model, I have unfortunately experienced a range of issues, from the automatic air suspension to the full transmission. While I still love the looks, comfort, and safety of the vehicle, it has spent more time at the dealership for major repairs than in my driveway. I regret buying this car as it has caused me a lot of stress and frustration.
Donnie Oberbrunner 2024-04-12
Our 3rd Expedition has experienced some issues, despite having essentially the same engine as before. For at least 2 years, we have been dealing with an intermittent misfire that only showed up on the computer this week when the engine light finally came on. We discovered that the coil on plug on cylinder #4 was faulty, which is a common problem that our dealer's service department confirmed. Although Ford refuses to acknowledge this issue with the engine, we are confident in our decision to either sell it or risk a multi-thousand dollar repair bill in the future. While we are disappointed that we can no longer choose Expeditions, we still appreciate the vehicle more than GM or other products.
