2007 Ford Expedition 4-DR. w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Ford Expedition 4-DR. w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"my 2007 ford expedition experienced an immediate loss of tire pressure on one tire while on the freeway on 27-july 2009 that resulted in the tire becoming immediately deflated and ruined. elder ford (troy, michigan) informed me of a faulty tire valve issue that ford motor company is aware of, but has not issued a recall. the dealer found all valves on my 2007 expedition were cracked and replaced all valves but the spare tire, which they stated they were not allowed to check or replace. a conversation with their customer service department on 31-july leads me to believe ford motor company has a very large and costly safety problem they do not want to deal with due to the economic times. remember the firestone/explorer fiasco? *tr"

Complaint:
"nhtsa said that there is not a safty concern that the valve stems on certin ford cars are splitting. they have closed the investigation april 9, 2009. that's great, except that on april 11, 2009 one of our valve stems blow out while we were driving on a mountain highway. there was no warning and the tire shredded. 2 18 wheelers had to do all kinds of moves to avoid hitting us. the one nearly did. the tire was completely shredded and we could hardly get far enough off the highway to put on the spare. with three small kids in the car, it was very scary. the on april 25th, 2009, it happened to the other front tire while we were on a trip. when inspecting the two back valves, they were barley holding on. we were in the middle of nowhere and nothing was opened for help. *tr"

"my tire valve failed on my 2007 ford expedition. two days after the dealer did the "visual inspection" on the faulty valve stems that have been know to have problems but have not yet been recalled by ford. this is the second tire that has failed on this vehicle! both happened at freeway speeds nearly causing an accident due to tires running flat. ford needs to do more than just inspecting these faulty valve stems. their "visual inspection" will not prevent potentially fatal accidents. *tr"
