SUSPENSION, WHEELS
For months now I have noticed a significant increase in the handling of my car to the point it is erratic and almost hard to drive, I have had my alignment looked at and have also seen that the inside of my rear tires is wearing more than the others as told to me in service reports for my car. A recall was put out for my vehicle which seems to be affected by almost every single recall but it says my car is not affected by this one. Which is The rear suspension toe link fasteners may not have been properly tightened to the frame, possibly allowing separation from the frame and tighten the rear toe link fasteners, check and adjust the rear toe alignment, and inspect the rear tires for abnormal tire wear, replacing them if necessary. I think if anyone else has had similar issues this recall needs to be expanded to other vehicles.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Drain Plug in Moon Roof has been repaired 15 times over 4 years for blockage. The blockage is causing the Floorboard of the passenger side vehicle to become soaked, causing a musty, moldy, mildew smell in the car. I don't park under any trees and car is garaged frequently.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission overheated while going 70-75 mph on the interstate without warning. I Pulled over and saw the thermostat to be overheated to 277 degrees (proof with picture). I along with my husband and 3 young kids Had to be towed 60 + miles back to my house. I was informed by 2 different mechanics the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had 89k miles on it. I attempted have it checked by a Ford dealership (there are 4 nearby) and all had at least a 12 week waitlist to be diagnosed. During the diagnostic period my vehicle would have to remain on the lot. No dealership would provide a loaner vehicle during that time. Due to financial and work responsibilities, I was unable to do that . We went with a different mechanic to replace with a new transmission (proof with documentation). I am also on the waiting list (10 weeks) to have the cam phasers be diagnosed, this time by the ford dealership. My mechanic I used for the transmission already reported they needed to be changed but I am waiting to see what Ford says . There has been no warning of this happening

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle has harsh shifting, it will skip gears, while driving you will at times hear a grinding noise and the gear drops to 1st and the RPM revs up very high. My safety was put at risk multiple times while driving when the car randomly decides to drop down to first gear. Ford has admitted the problems with the transmissions but will not do anything for the consumer to make it right. My vehicle has been in a ford dealership where they “reset the values” and that has done nothing for it.

SEAT BELTS
My seatbelt light came on. I took it to the dealership with 102,000 miles, and they said it was not covered under Ford's warranty (8 years or 80,000 miles) and also not covered under my extended warranty (up to 120,000 miles). I planned to purchase the part and have my husband repair it. Before I was able to repair it, the pretensioner deployed while I was driving it. It made a loud noise and locked the driver's seat belt, which is no longer usable. I've owned several vehicles, some of which I've driven over 200,000 miles (Hyundai). I find it odd that Ford won't repair this. Surely the seat belt system has to last longer than 80,000 miles, especially on a $60,000+ vehicle. I would be upset if I purchased a new Expedition for $95,000 and the seat belts didn't last 100,000. Knowing that this is an issue with this year, make and model, why wouldn't Ford fix this when I brought it in? Is Ford waiting for more incidents to happen before taking action? This could

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When entering the vehicle and closing all doors, one pushes the start button. Once starting to drive or reverse, an error message appears "Transmission Not in Park". The error message stays until the vehicle is put into motion. Then when coming to a stop, the error message reappears. It is understood the transmission is not in park because one is attempting to drive the vehicle. The vehicle drives fine, but the message appears repeatedly while in reverse and or drive. Many forums have suggested the rotary dial to engage the different drive modes is not speaking with the door latches. No other warnings appear and no doors are ajar.

My wife was driving home from work and when she went to stop at an intersection, the brakes failed to engage. She stated she pushed the brake to the floor and the car would not stop. We were on the phone when this occurred. She suddenly said she got into an accident as her car would not stop. She also stated that in the morning, the car would not stop as she was backing into her parking spot in the parking garage at work. Significant front end damage to my wife's vehicle causing almost $13k in damages including a bent frame. She was not going fast as she was approaching a major street from a side street.

POWER TRAIN
On multiple occasions I have experienced a sudden loss of power. This seems to happen when excelerating while entering/merging on to the freeway. There is a large bang/clunk and then no power. This has caused nearly caused me to be in accidents, especially when trying to merge into speeding traffic. I'm afraid this is going to cause an accident.

ENGINE
August 08, 2023 on highway while driving, powertrain malfunction/reduced power warning appear, followed by a pre-collision assist failure and an electrical fault with turbocharger sensor. Pulled over, waited 30 minutes, restarted and all warnings went away. 9/11/23 vehicle diagnosed with cam phaser failure. 11/22/23 cam phaser repair completed. 11/23/23 while driving on highway, same series of events as August occurred. However, this time the service engine soon light did not go away. Returned home on 11/25/23. On 11/26/23, while driving in neighborhood the engine lost all mechanical power(ability to steer, provide any acceleration, or shift gears). Vehicle towed to dealership. Diagnosed with a snapped timing chain and associated timing components (e.g., pistons). Had this occurred while driving on highway or other major thoroughfare, not only would the occupants lives been at risk but the lives of those around me would have been at risk because the ability to maneuver the vehicle was impaired and loss of control would have occurred.
