2019 FORD EXPEDITION THAT HAS BEEN IN FOR PAST TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH NO PROBLEMS FOUND. FORD IS NOW TELLING ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND OF COURSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. ISSUES ARE WHEN AT A STOP AND ACCELARATING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AS IF YOU ARE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. ALSO, AT HWY SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING TO CHANGE LANES THE TRANSMISSION WILL COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AND ENGINE WILL REV THEN IT WILL JUMP BACK IN GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM LUCKY THIS HASNT ENDED IN AN ACCIDENT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WARNING OF THE PROBLEM. I SEE SEVERAL TSB'S THAT FORD HAS PUT OUT BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DOING 50MPH. FORD KNOWS THIS AND THEY ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD I EVER OWN.

Would like to determine why vehicle was not included in recall 21B10 or 21N03 for cam phaser rattle.

When driving the vehicle shifts very hard and has a loud clanging in second and fifth gear. It skips those gears and will lag in intersections and on roadways because of the skip. Had it diagnosed by a transmission shop and they said it needed cam phasers. Took it to the dealer and the said it needed a new valve body as the issue was repeatable. Had the valve body replaced and it is still doing it and even worse. No lights came on, and we bought the vehicle used with 81k miles on it and we noticed it right away, so the dealer did a “reprogram” of the software and said it was fine. It started to do it again right away and we called the dealer and they would not return our call. We drove it because we had too until it got bad enough we didn’t feel safe driving it anymore and now it is waiting for the hopes that a new transmission will fix the issue.

Vehicle has a rattle upon starting. Also the vehicle is shifting harshly and slipping. Sometimes the vehicle will stop accelerating in the middle of the road, or when accelerating from a stopped position. The RPMs will rise but the vehicle stops having power and the gear indicator moves up and down until it clicks back into a gear and the vehicle will go again. I have had the vehicle examined by a technician and have been told that it is the cam phasers, CDF drum/transmission, and torque converter. Ford will not honor any warranty or cover the cost of these repairs.

The transmission has delays in shifting up and down causing unpredictable ability to accelerate when entering highways in front of speeding vehicles.The Ford technician confirmed the issue and stated that ultimately, the transmission could fail at anytime. The Ford technician strongly encouraged me to replace the transmission after his the dealership inspected the vehicle and were able to replicate the problem. This was an out of pocket expense. Ford has detailed this failure in Technical Service Bulletin 25-2023 which states Harsh engagement Delayed engagement Harsh shift Delayed shift

Cam chaser still rattles when starting even after recall was fixed. Getting worse with every drive.

My 2019 Ford expedition started making a rattling noise when starting the engine, the noise continued to get louder and the engine beagn to make a knocking noise when idling, and trouble starting when cold. I was ouyt of warrenty by a few thousand miles when I had to bring it to be repaired and I was told the cam phasers were faulty and it was a known issue even though Ford not issuing a recall. In my vehicle there was a spring missing and parts loose that dislodged into the engine that could cause it to get caught distroying the entire motor while driving which could seriously injure not just the driver but loose control of car and cause major accident. Doing research this seems to been a common issue in the Ford expedition 2018-2020. There should be a recall for faulty part not just if your still covered under warrenty, it is a serious malfuntion that can really cause bad accident that is not a service or operator error that causes a malfunctioning/breaking of cam phasers.

SIX WEEKS AGO MY TRANSMITION START JUMPING WHEN IT SHIFTED GEARS. THE EXPEDITION ONLY HAS 82, 212 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND GOT A CODE P2701, WHICH IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. HE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TO SEE IF THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. HAD HIM DO A FULL TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER REPLACEMENT. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GOTTEN WORST AND NOW JUMPS AND HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALL THE TIME, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DELIVER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNDER ANY WARRENTIES. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE AWARE THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION BUT THERE WAS NOTHING COULD DO WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIN FOR AROUND $8000-$9000 DOLLARS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A NUMBER OF VECHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMSSION HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING AND HESITATING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A DIFFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM AND EVEN CAUSE A WRECK AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FOR ALL THESE TRANSMITIONS.

I have started noticing rough shifting, delayed engagement, harsh shifts, and sometimes even slipping between gears. Have taken to the dealership and it is needing a whole new transmission

Passenger front door will not latch closed. Suspected freezing of lock mechanism from cold winter conditions. No physical damage is on vehicle that could cause this, nor does the vehicle have an accident in its history

The vehicle electronically put itself in to park at 75 MPH

When driving down the interstate or crossing traffic the transmissions in these vehicles will slip causing you to be immobile. Possibly causing death

1. My Transmission failed and the car came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway, ford could not assist in replacing the Transmission and I have heard so many complaints about the 10 speed transmissions failing just after reaching 100,000 mileage. Mine failed under 108,000 mileage and this has been going on for years and consumers end up spending thousands of dollars on a $70,000 vehicle. This issue needs to be addressed. I paid over $8,000 to replace the transmission. 2. Ford Expeditions and F150 have a trim piece on the center console that's covered by an aluminum wrap which pops off and it's very sharp, so many ford owners have been cut by that piece and ford only replaces the whole center console if the vehicle is under warranty as there's no other solution to replace only the trim but you get to replace the whole center console which's Expensive. 3. For 3.5L engines have continued to have cam phaser failure for the past few years but Ford doesn't seem to address this issue which cost customers millions of dollars every year, we the customers do know that Ford benefits from selling parts and Ford 100% knows how expensive it's to replace a cam phaser which cam cost anywhere from $4,000 in parts and labor. We hope that NHTSA can step up and have ford address these issues.

When driving on a highway we went to pass a slower moving vehicle. When pulling out into the oncoming lane to accelerate the automatic transmission slipped into neutral. This situation became dangerous because there was a vehicle coming at us and we had to break to get back behind the slower vehicle. However the transmission did go back into gear causing us to become a hazard to the vehicles behind us. Again this happened on the interstate when accelerating to get on the interstate. This is a known problem by Ford and has been documented many times. Ford claims that since the vehicle is past the warranty period they aren't responsible to repair.

While driving lost power, could not drive, exhaust valve failure

Vehicle has a rattle upon starting. Also the vehicle is shifting harshly and slipping. Sometimes the vehicle will occasionally stop accelerating in the middle of the road.

I have had the vehicle examined by a technician and have been told that it is the cam phasers, CDF drum/transmission, and torque converter.

The vehicle's steering wheel became very loose at ~50k miles making it wobbly and potential to fall off which could cause danger while driving and possibility of airbag deployment. As seen in the attached pictures, there was no thread locker on the bolt that tightens the steering wheel down. I was able to remove it simply with my hands upon a few twist.

The 10 speed transmission has harsh shifting, jerking, hesitation, slipping, delayed gear changes and lurching forward while driving. The issue is apparent typically between 3rd and 4th gear, and 6th and 7th gear. The dealership mentioned it was a computer programming issue and has reset it twice, but the car continues to have these issues. Apparently this issue is cause by the way the drum was manufactured according this Ford Technician: [XXX] If it's a known issue, and it was fixed in the newer models, I hope Ford does a recall to replace.

When I am stopped at a light or in traffic and the start/stop technology triggers the car to shut off while waiting, when I take my foot off the brake the engine does not turn back up. My other electrics are still on. A messaged pops up and says auto/startstop shift to P, then restart engine. This has happened multiple times. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times now. They say no error codes come up. They can’t replicate it. The last time the car rolled back and almost hit another car. It causes my car to obstruct traffic. And people start honking.

I was on the freeway going between 65-70mph when I felt a hard shift and lost all acceleration. The truck started to slow down and the wrench light came on. I was able to coast to the shoulder and turn my hazards on while the wrench light and warnings were going. I parked the truck and waited for my husband to help. The truck sat for approximately 20 minutes when it was turned back on. There were no lights on the dash and the wrench warning went away [XXX] husband was able to drive it home. I had my three kids in the truck and it was a terrifying experience. I took it to get scanned and it gave us a throttle body code. My vehicle supposedly isn't affected but this experience tells me that myself and my kids are in more danger than what is being claimed.
