Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 ford expedition ignition coils continue to short out when wet and always after a rain - water seeps into the engine compartment and inevitably that an ignition coil will begin to short out / begin missing and lose power while driving. because this always seems to happen during inclement weather the danger factor is heightened. i have spoken to other 2001 expedition owners and they all have experienced the exact same dangerous and expensive problem. another issue of consumer concern is that ford motor co. and it's service representatives are keenly aware of this and in fact have repaired the continuous problem during the first 75,000 miles. i personally have had the coils go out on me while driving in dangerous weather and have now had five(5) ignition coils go out on me at this time. ford motor co needs to take responsibility for this inherent mechanical problem and finally correct this problem before any accidents and deaths occur. *nm |
