POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2007 FORD EXPEDITION MILEAGE ~34,000 I HAVE TAKEN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION INTO THE SHOP NOW ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM WAS LISTED AT UN-FOUND, AND THE 3RD TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOW THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF AN ISSUE BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIRE AVAILABLE. THE ISSUE: *WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO STAY IN A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS HARD, AND COMES TO A STOP. *WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HESITATE VERY BADLY, THEN TAKE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY SCARY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO "CATCH" AND TAKE OFF. I HAVE BASICALLY STARTED TO LEAVE MYSELF 10X THE ROOM NEEDED TO PULL OUT TO AVOID AN INJURY. *AT 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO SPEED UP A CLUNKING NOISE IS HEARD, AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE ACCELERATOR IS NOT TELLING THE TRUCK TO GO! *THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD VEHICLE, BUT FORD HAS BEEN COVERING THIS ISSUE UP FOR MANY MONTHS NOW! THIS IS GOING TO END UP KILLING SOMEONE ONE DAY IF IT IS NOT FIXED! WRITTEN BY A CORPORATE SAFETY SPECIALIST. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR
I PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION IN OCT. 06 AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I FELT A KICK AFTERWARDS. SLOWLY IT PROGRESSED TO A HARDER PUSH, WHERE IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN OCTOBER 07 AND THEY HAD ORDERS FROM FORD TO RECALIBRATE THE TRANSMISSION FOR NOW UNTIL THEY FOUND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IN MID-NOVEMBER. THE RECALIBRATION WORKED FOR 1 WEEK AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. AGAIN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE A FIX YET. I NEED THIS FIX . *TR
