ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I am concerned about the shifting or transmission in my new 21 expedition. Purchased new less than a year ago, currently less than 20k miles but the vehicle shifts gears hard, sometimes it seems it wants to up shift while in park or braking. The shift is shaky at times and I now put in park when stopped at a drive through because the last time I went to the bank while waiting with brake applied the car felt as if it was going to just drive off, I immediately put in park. This is scary because my kids rode with me and I dont want the gears to shift incorrectly and cause us to wreck. Dealer asked me to schedule a time when I can leave my vehicle for an unknown amount of time. In order to get a loaner the first available date to drop it off is November 17,22 which is over a month away.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission routinely goes out of gear making a weird grinding sound, loses power and decelerates without warning. This has occurred at speeds from 10 mph to 70 mph. Neighborhood streets, roads, highways, and interstates. Very dangerous situation. The vehicle has approximately 22000 miles and this has occurred 20 times at minimum. I have been extremely lucky that this has not caused an accident or crash. The vehicle was purchased new from the dealership. I informed the dealer after numerous occurrences. The dealer inspected the vehicle in August. They said the vehicle computer time stamped the issue but they could determine the issues??? The same transmission problem has occurred 5 times since August.

We have a 2021 Platinum Expedition that we purchased new in January of 2022. Our vehicle has had electrical/computer issues from the time of purchase. The lane keep assist did not work until the vehicle was updated or reset. The windshield wiper sensor has been replaced twice but continues to not alert me when the fluid is getting low. I am alerted of low fluid the second I am completely out of windshield washer fluid. The tpms has been a problem from time of purchase. My tire pressure display is accurate but cannot alert me when the tire pressure is low. These issues are “fixed” at the dealerships but begin to fail once I have my car back. The infotainment screen is also glitchy and gets stuck from time to time. I have to turn the vehicle off a few times and then I can begin navigating again without disruption. We bought this vehicle with an intent to tow our travel trailer. Our expy is rated to tow up to 9300 lbs. Our trailer was under 7 fully loaded. We went on one trip about 2 hours away and that was our last. We sold our trailer due to how badly our vehicle towed. My husband white knuckled the steering wheel the entire drive there and back. Our vehicle felt as if it was not in control at all. I decided to tow my brothers travel trailer that was around 4,000 pounds and our vehicle failed once again at towing safely. Our vehicle was swaying and completely unstable for the brief ride we took on the tollway going 60-65 mph. I have been dealing with Ford corporation for 8 months now. I am completely exhausted from being told to go back and forth to dealerships to get these issues addressed. Ford does not take these complaints seriously at all. I was actually told that it is not the vehicles fault for towing poorly. We must not of towed a compatible trailer! Dealerships will intentionally not document service appts or delete them to prevent you from qualifying for lemon law. Ford did nothing when we told them our sunroof was leaking within 24 hrs of owning.
