On certain trucks, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease being applied to the output shaft gear.
Risk and remedy
Risk
After a period of continuous use on the high speed setting, lack of grease on the output shaft gear may cause the gear to distort or fracture during operation resulting in a loss of wiper function. inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause a crash due to impaired visibility.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the wiper motor for the presence of grease and grease the wiper motor gears if necessary. the recall began on november 22, 2005. owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or lincoln/mercury at 1-800-521-4140.

While driving yesterday i heard a pop. The 4th coil pack literally blew out from its spot. I have now had 3 coil packs blow out at random causing the holes that the bolt straps the coil pack to the spark plug to strip out. I have a transmission leak that will not stop and I've taken it in multiple times for repairs and it still is leaking. Since getting this vehicle i noticed at the electrical issue where everything including my headlights will shut off and then pop back on while I'm driving. My seat belt will not open so i can buckle and I'm now getting frustrated because I've spent a lot of money on this only to realize has had the same issue with previous owners and they for some reason were too embarrassed to report it but I'm not and I'm sick of dumping money into this damb thing!

Ford had a recall for broken spark plugs & a class action lawsuit on this vehicle. Ford has failed to fully compensate us & told me hardly no one would receive compensation. We replaced the plugs with ford approved revised plugs at ford with @ 149K miles on 11/2015. The engine codes or problems would come up now and again & we had it into various vendors.. 2/ 2017, driving back to wyoming I came up an I was under load (hauling a trailer) and the auto almost did not make it home or up a grade. We took it in to replace the coils. The vendor, midway motors replaced the coil & noticed the new revised ford approved spark plug 5 was broken, and plug 6 also showed a code, (mileage 172627 miles). The engine was damaged so we traded the ford in for a dodge. my point ford has not fixed the issue & IS deceiving the public. And 2ND lawsuit claim form IS [xxx] . The vehicle was kept in like new shape pristine. I was sad I had to trade it in but did not feel safe. I think you need to know how ford IS practicing and not handling ethically, legally, or properly; both the class action lawsuit and also the (revised spark plugs are also failing). Yes I have detailed documents!! Ask me I can email you pdf [xxx] [xxx] . information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).'*jb

At approximately 45 miles an hour there IS a grinding noise that sounds like the transmission. If I speed up it goes away. After drive for awhile the overdive light starts to blink. If I turn off the engine the light stops blinking. The car performs much better with the overdive off. Had the transmission rebuilt and it didn't solve the problem. The transmission shop says the problem IS not in the transmissuon itself. Ford dealer recommended changing the trottle senson, $100 later that didn't work. Mechanics in town can't figure it out. It sounds like 2 gears trying to engage, thus the grinding noise. When I drive with the overdrive off it happens at a higher speed. Always happens when drivi g up a long incline. Going crazy with this problem.

While in traffic, at least 100 times in the last four years (at variable speeds from 5 to 65 mph on city streets and freeways) most recently twice in the last week, the rpms drop below 500 and the vehicle dies and "engine failsafe mode" lights up on the dash. I have to either coast to pull over or dead stop in the middle of the road. I have to turn the vehicle completely off (even though in failsafe mode engine IS off, the electronics are still on) and then restart and then it will drive just fine until it happens again. it happens anywhere from once every 6 months to 6 times in 1 week. it seems as though if I drive with both feet in traffic and maintain about 800-1000 rmps at all times it doesn't do this, however this cannot be done all the time especially when trying to stop the large vehicle quickly or turning in an intersection. Nothing has been diagnosed by dealership as no codes are thrown. I also own a OBD2 reader and no codes have ever listed unless its time to change the spark plugs. Several different mechanics, forums and brainstorming has not figured it out. I have replaced mostly everything with exception to a new transmission and computer. mostly everything including wires and vacuum lines and gaskets have been replaced due to maintenance or repairs from everything else that has gone wrong with it. I have put about $10K into new parts for this vehicle. I bought it with 60K miles on it and it now has 117K, its a daily driver with 28 miles of travel 5 days a week. Also the only vehicle that fits all of the children for soccer, track and volleyball traveling tournaments/games. Luckily it doesn't happen very often when I'm not in traffic so the kids aren't usually with me but it IS very scary not to know if you are going to stop or if the people behind you are going to hit you or not.

- Steel wheel fracture
Ford special service vehicle (ssv) expeditions use a steel full face wheel design similar to that investigated in pe03009, rq04007, ea04034 (crown victoria police interceptor) and pe03026 (gm pickups and suvs).a total of 8,251 ssvs (2.2% of total production) were produced within model years 2004-2006 and sold…
Ford special service vehicle (ssv) expeditions use a steel full face wheel design similar to that investigated in pe03009, rq04007, ea04034 (crown victoria police interceptor) and pe03026 (gm pickups and suvs).a total of 8,251 ssvs (2.2% of total production) were produced within model years 2004-2006 and sold primarily for use by state, federal, and municipal law enforcement (LE) agencies.ford stipulates that the subject vehicles are not suitable for high speed or pursuit operations and also identified a 2004 national institute for justice vehicle evaluation report which also acknowledges this limitation. The full face wheel IS fabricated from two pieces: a stamped outer wheel disc and a formed rim.the two pieces, which together comprise the outer bead seat, are joined together with a circumferential weld.a cyclic bending moment occurs in the outer bead seat area as the wheel rotates, resulting in fatigue stresses in the weld's heat affected zone that can lead to fracturing (cracking) of the rim material.because the failure occurs under the outboard tire bead, air leakage may not readily occur when the rim cracks, dependent on how well the bead seals on the rim.if multiple cracks grow undetected and suddenly join into a single large crack, the wheel's structure can become compromised leading to rapid air loss.a rapid air loss, especially at higher speed, may lead to a crash. Ford responded to odi's january 5, 2009 information request (ir) on february 24.ford's response acknowledges a number of wheel fractures on the ssvs.however, based on its assessment of the pertinent factors, it concludes that the condition does not represent an unreasonable risk to safety.the lack of reports of rapid air loss, no alleged crashes, and their assessment that a cracked wheel can be detected through slow, repeated air loss or vibration, were the bases for ford's conclusion.ford discusses the results of a study it performed on wheels returned from LE field use, design revisions it made to the subject wheel, and the outcome of durability testing it conducted on the old and new wheel designs. The counts shown above include a duplicate odi and ford report; the ford counts are unique vehicles alleging wheel fracture(s).some warranty claims involved more than one wheel replacement.although the subject vehicles have been in service for a longer period of time than vehicles investigated in the previous investigations of two-piece wheel fracture, odi did not identify any allegations of crashes, rapid air loss events due to wheel fractures or allegations of effects on vehicle control or stability, as were the cases in past investigations where safety recalls were conducted to replace affected wheels.the agency agrees that the ssv IS not suitable for pursuit or high speed usage, reducing the potential for crashes or loss of control incidents to be caused by the alleged defect. Ford implemented a 'shot peening' process in june 2006 which reduced the wheel's surface stress and significantly improved its durability, and odi IS unaware of any failures of shot peened wheels (service part number 7l1z-1015-b).ford's testing showed a slightly reduced durability for the non-shot peened wheels when 'LT' instead of ford approved 'p' metric type tires are used. A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.accordingly, this investigation IS closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will take further action if warranted by further c

- 11005305This article supersedes TSB 22-2219 to update the Parts List and Service Procedure to clarify applicable steps by vehicle application. Some 2003-2020 Expedition/Navigator and 2006-2020 F-150 (non-Raptor) vehicles equipped with 4WD may exhibit grinding/clicking/ratcheting noise from the front wheel area. This may be due to partial engagement of the integrated wheel ends (IWE). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to remove and cap the vacuum supply line or to reprogram the transfer case control module (TCCM) and replace any worn vacuum and/or IWE components.
- 10235153For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.

- 10143079Various vehicles equipped with a 4.6L, 5.4L, 6.8L modular 3 valve engine built on or before 8-Jan-2016 may exhibit symptoms that may include upper end engine noise, rough running, misfire and/or engine damage. If diagnosis leads to only camshaft/camshaft roller follower(s) requiring replacement, replace all of the camshaft roller followers on both banks/cylinder heads with part number 3L3Z-6564-A, not just the faulty roller follower(s). When replacing the camshaft roller followers, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01.
- 10109070The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies (ETBs). The ETC_ACT and ETC_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information.
- 10109021When ordering a 2005 to 2008 remanufactured 5.4L 3v or 6.8L 3v engine, spark plug boots may be provided in the packaging. Replace all black spark plug boots from the original engine with the 'brown' spark plug boots, as provided. The updated 'brown' spark plug boots are longer than the black boots to accommodate a running change in the spark plug length. The ignition coil bodies and spring/resistor are transferable and only the rubber boots require replacement. Failure to install the spark plug boots provided with the replacement engine could lead to drivability concerns.
