POWER TRAIN
With our expedition on numerous occasions the transmission will be acting as normal and then go into a false neutral which will leave the vehicle unable to accelerate or be moved over to safety, it has happened while trying to merge and nearly causing a accident and then on another occasion crossing a non divided highway only to leave me stranded unable to make it move with oncoming traffic, very dangerous situation .. the problem is very hard to replicate for dealers to diagnose

POWER TRAIN
Our car is only 2 months out of warranty and has 52,000. I have the 10R80 or 10-speed transmission that is all of the internet. My symptoms include very hard jerks when slowing down while driving, Loss of power when accelerating, and a delay in power when accelerating from a complete stop. I drive 4 kids around and it feels like I am being rear-ended sometimes. The dealerships are well aware of this problem with these cars but will not take action.

I am being told that the Cam Phasers need to be replaced. This is a well known issue to Ford. They did a programming adjustment in 2021, and then did replacements only if you had continued issues up until Jan 2023. I have issues now, and they are telling me I am not covered. The cam phasers have been redesigned so they know they installed poorly designed parts originally. This is an almost $4,000 repair.

The vehicle has the known cam phaser issue commonly reported on 3.5L Ecoboost engines. It is a known problem, that the dealership is so aware of they were able to provide a repair quote on the spot. The engine had less than 50,000 miles when the issue was first discovered. The safety issue is the engine failing while driving could place someone in an unsafe situation depending on how and when it failed.

While parking my car in my driveway as I turned the car off I heard a loud explosion in the car. There was some smoke coming out of the passenger side seatbelt area of the frame. I could smile gunpowder. The interior trim piece around the seat belt had come loose. There was a warning sign that had come on that day and I was going to check it out this weekend. I had the dealership come and get the car to check it out. I looked at an article from you that this has happened before and I think it was the seatbelt pretensior. Thanks

Transmission is shifting hard around 4th or 5th gear. It is lagging as well causing the car not to accelerate when needed causing safety concern while driving in traffic. It will randomly have high rpms like it is shifting out of gear when not needed. There are no lights or codes. It hasn’t been inspected by dealer. It is a common problem on ford expeditions. My friend is having the exact same problem and you can find it all over the internet of other consumers have the same problem as well. It is dangerous to drive if it malfunctions while on the road with traffic especially with children in the car.

The cam phasers on my vehicle need replaced, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I took the vehicle to Ford initially and was told "they didn't have a mechanic" that could address the issue on a Saturday, and completely dismissed the concern and only changed my oil. I have since had two separate mechanics diagnose the problem, and each independently determined the cam phasers are the issue. My safety isn't at risk, as I understand it the cam phasers aren't a safety issue. I was told by Ford that they couldn't answer my questions or help me, and was directed to contact NHTSA with my concern. There are no warning lamps or messages; the problem was identified by the audible noise presented at start up. I contacted Ford after I became aware that there were CSP's issued with regard to the CAM phasers, but Ford stated my VIN wasn't assigned to the CSP. However, the CSP identifies a specific build plant, and build date, both of which my vehicle falls under. So there is no plausible explanation for how they did not assign my VIN to the CSP, therefore I was not notified back in 2022 or 2023 of the issue, so I had no chance to rectify the issue when the problems occurred, nor was I made aware that this issue might arise.

The car will randomly downshift or not upshift, drastically changing the handeling. It will get stuck in gears (Like 7th) and then not accelerate in traffic from a stop. The shifts are harsh enought that the tires with loose traction in wet conditions... The car is unsafe to drive and the dealer can't find a solution, other than I pay for a new transmission. The problems started with a software update for shifting into 1st gear at speed. This happens too often!
