I can't believe the Expedition doesn't get the option for Adaptive Cruise Control! Since my wife has it on our Explorer she said she will never own another vehicle without it. We were really wanting to go up a size to the Expedition but not now. The worst part is GM now has Adaptive Cruise on their large SUV's. Any word if Expedition will get this option at a mid-year change? I hope so or Ford lost a 30 year customer...

I agree most of the time it isn't an issue, but it has happened to me at the most inopertune time. I've had this vehicle since June 10th and it has (as you say) crashed twice on me. What the hell is going to happen when the system starts filling up with addresses, previous destinations, phone book data, etc? And I haven't even plugged my 500 Gb harddrive full of music and books yet... Iv'e never had this much trouble with the Nav/Sync/Radio in my '09 Expedition.

My '11 Limited has the HID's and I have noticed the same horizontal cut off. While driving up to my house at night, there is a distinct line about 4' tall, it is bright as can be below the line and pitch dark above the line. I do seem to have plenty of light on low beams while driving. But when on high beams WOW, all the road signs looks like there backlit shining back at you. I am impressed with the HID's

I use Verizon MiFi card. It will not connect to Sync in the vehicle yet but then again there is no reason for it to as it will handle up to 5 devices at a time on its own. It is nice to plug it in to the usb port to keep it charged though. My vehicle wiil connect to my home wireless network while sitting in the driveway, so it's nice to know you can pull from an unsecured source such as motels, coffee shops, etc. if needed.

Mine did the same thing this weekend. Everything froze up for 10 - 15 minutes. This is the second time it has happened and I've owned the vehicle 2 months. I just wish it would display updtaing data with XX minutes ot go. Mentioned issue to dealer and they said they've never heard of it... If it needs to do an update once a month, I wish it would let me choose the time. When this happened the first time we were in Kansas City close to our destination when everything froze. Spent 15 minutes on the side of the road trying to figure out what was wrong. Now that was inconvienent and dangerous! Does anyone know how often we will encounter these updates?

Just took delivery of mine. Dealer installed during predelivery of vehicle. Mine has about 100 air bubbles under it, guess dealer doesn't know the correct procedure for installation. It's going back, and if they don't get it right this time, I'll just have to do it myself!

Just took delivery of mine last week, both seats work fine.

My 2009 used to cool the backs but now after about 15 -20 mins, it feels like the backs get warmer instead of cooler. I have found that the cooled seats work much better if you have some of the cooled air blowing out of the front floor vents. I think the fans under the seats pick up this cooled air making them work a little more efficiently.

I've got 18,500 of my '09. I have not had any trouble until last week. When cruising in hilly terrain the transmission now has a pause and jerk if it needs to shift down from 6th to 4th gear. If it only needs to shift from 6th to 5th you don't feel a thing. Calling the dealer tomorrow on it.

You will see better gas milage in the '07 with the 3.31 gears over the '08 with 3.73.

YouTube has videos of the Siruis Travel Link System in Ford products. It sure looks like a complete new system!

I also have an '07 EL on a two year lease that comes due the 1st of Nov. I'm wanting an '09 EL to replace it with. Does anyone know when the '09 order guides for Expedition will be available?? I do see that Initial order acceptance is on 05/16/08. Production scheduling begins on 06/12/08. And (Job 1) Production Start up begins 07/21/08. Dan

Thanks for the heads up on the TSB. I've told my dealer about this shifting problem several times, and if there is ever a fix for it to let me know. Needless to say, he was floored when I handed him a copy of the TSB! He wanted to know where I got it from, I just told him I know the smartest people on the internet :D It's going in Mon. We'll see if it works, currently mine has to shift back from 2nd to 1st 95% of the time.

I had the same problem, for some reason it does not understand K18. I ended up using my salesman's name and spoke with an analyst every time. As long as they think you are the dealer, you won't have any problems. Make sure it's OK with your salesman before you do this, as with mine they didn't have a good explanation why mine had been built for 2 1/2 months and still sitting in the shipping yard, so a few times they had to call the dealer back and then my salesman would call me and give me the status.
