2015 Ford Expedition EL power train problems

“Vehicle will shift in and out of gears randomly while driving I’m concerned about driving on the highway and getting into or causing an accident because it happens at random and then stops No lights on dashboard and vehicle just passed inspection I believe it is a problem with the TCM and there has been an extended warranty issues for the same part in different models for ford including the fiesta and focus I believe”

“The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle briefly hesitated, with the transmission slipping. Later, the contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle was vibrating excessively. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission power converter failure resulting in damages to the timing chain. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.”

“I was driving and going around 45mph when the wrench warning light came on and I lost the ability to accelerate. The car could only coast. I was able to coast to a parking lot. I turned off the car and restarted it. It seemed fine so I drove home. The same thing happened again a couple of days later. We checked the codes and it had a p2112 error code. We replaced the throttle body and it seems fine now. However this is the second time we have had to replace the throttle body. The same thing happened in 2018 with about 74000 miles on the car. We replaced the throttle body then also. From internet searches this seems to be a common problem. It is a big safety issue since the car loses the ability to accelerate unexpectedly. I was lucky I was able to coast out of the way each time without causing an accident.”

“Vehicle was placed in park and rolled down a driveway. Vehicle almost crashed through a house across the street if the owner did not jump in the vehicle and slam the brake. Problem has not yet been reproduced by a dealer. The part has not yet been evaluated by the dealer. Although, the dealer has done improper inspections of broken parts on the vehicle when it was under warranty in an attempt to get out of replacing them, so I do not trust the dealer to do a proper assessment.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and shifted into park(P) and the contact exited the vehicle to run errands; however, upon returning to where the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the vehicle had rolled away. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and had started engaging the parking brake whenever the vehicle was parked. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.”

“The vehicle dashboard goes blank while driving, followed by the vehicle transmission slipping out of gear. This vehicle can be made available; however, it does not transfer gears. The problem has not been satisfactorily reproduced or diagnosed. The Ford service department simply stated that I needed a new transmission. The dashboard goes blank.”
