Badfish

Thank you for the update. After spending a few more weeks with the truck, I notice that somedays it stumbles worse than others. At startup, it stumbles quite a bit, then levels off. Last night, I was in drive but I was stopped at a drive thru and I noticed a slight stumble even then. There has to be a way to at the very least improve this. My 07 feels like an old beater.

I spoke with a Ford rep today. This was an absolute waste of time. The only function these people serve is to call the dealer and to reiterate information that has already been given. My truck still shakes at idle and in park or nuetral. I am running out of options here. Any owners of 07 or an 08 who are going thru this???

I did have the service manager ride in it. He felt the stumble and agreed that it did not seem normal. Three days later, he completely changed his mind. He also mentioned that they checked the coils. Ofcourse, I am not sure about his credibility at this point. I need to find a dealer who will help me.

I don't have any friends who are mechanics. This is a good idea. THe vibration is not horrible, but is noticable. Given the fact that the Expedition is so smooth and quiet, the vibration seems to be more noticable. It is a subtle shake or stumble that makes it feel like the truck is not running right. It does this at idle, and a acceleration from 600 rpms to 2000. After 2000, it calms down. I am going to take a look at that flatratetech.com. I just want to get this solved so I can go back to enoying my truck. New cars are supposed to be fun

I want to keep it, I really do. The big question is WILL they fix it? I really don't want to spend my weeks catching rides or renting a car while my new truck is being repaired. It sucks when they keep your truck for 3 days only to tell you that the problem is "normal". I sure wish some 07-08 owners would chime in and let me know if they have noticed this problem.

I like the word you used (stumble). That is what it feels like. Most of the time, the stumble is subtle. other times, it feels too strong for a new truck. FYI - I have been to 3 dealers who all have said "I have seen worse" This makes it hard to diagnose.

I have always had V6 SUVs, so you are right that I am not used to V8 engines. Having said that, the Nissan Armada did not have this issue at all. Also, I went back to test drive an 08 and it did not have these issues either. What bothers me is that everyone is saying it is normal.

I am losing my mind. I decided to buy my first ford product, a 2007 Ford Expedition 4x4. I love the looks, suspension, power and features and I decided to choose the expedition over the nissan armada. After a few days, I noticed that my engine felt like it was missing or idling rough when in park. This seems to get worse the longer I sit. I also noticed that when reving the engine above 5oo rpms to 200rmps, the engine runs rough. Above 2000 rpms, it seems to clear up. The vibration or rough idling is very subtle, but it seems to get worse. Also, the rough running can happen during a cold start. I have visited 3 Ford dealers and they have all told me that this is normal. Anyone else have these problems? Thanks!!! -----Update: I talked to a dealer today who seemed to have an actual answer. When I described the issue to him, he mentioned that it was a common complaint among 07 - 08 owners. He explained that Ford had made massive reductions in emissions by circulating exhaust back thru the engine at idle. he explained that this was the cause of the stumble. He also explained that the brand new ones on the lot will not do this until they reach 25-50 miles on them. Are there any other owners who can comment on this?
