Good evening fellow Expedition owners. This is my first Ford, well my wife brought one into our marriage. I needed something beefier to pull my boat, and boy does it ever. I paid PLENTY for this car, and I'm wondering if you might be able to answer some questions for me or perhaps share in my misery.
The biggest thing is when it's cold it runs rough. I'm reading similar stories here on the forums about this. Once it warms up, it's smooth, but until then it's a bit lethargic. I'm convinced it's an ignition coil, the dealership thinks I'm crazy because it's not throwing a code. I bought an extra warranty on this thing, so I'm kind of at the mercy of that before I just go and start fixing things myself. The truck has a hair less than 90,000 miles on it, so I had the dealership replace the spark plugs. It runs better, but not fixed.
Next, on the freeway, if I jam my foot to the floor, it takes about 3 seconds or so for it to downshift, find a gear, and move. It's so lethargic. I'm used to transmissions taking a while to shift, but this is pretty much a safety issue.
Lastly, I just noticed this one tonight. All of the sudden my sunroof has developed an "Auto" feature. Before, I used to have to hold the button down to open or close it all the way. Now I just tap it and it goes almost all the way open (except for about 2" where I need to hold the button), and tap it again to go all the way closed.
Has anyone experienced any of these issues, or have some solutions? Help me feel better about my purchase please...
