2007 Ford Expedition power train problems

“Unknown about what causes the issue but was Told it was manufacturers fault not mine. Insurance adjuster came out as well and said that my full coverage won’t cover anything at this point and told me as well to go contact the manufacturers to see what the option are available”

“I HAVE A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WILL START UP IN THE MORNING AND BE FINE UNTIL IT WARMS UP THEN IT WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR AT STOP SIGHS OR LIGHTS THESE MOTORS ARE KNOW TO HAVE PROBLEMS FROM FACTORY IT IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE I NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE”

“WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A STOP, IE: (INTERSECTION) THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IT'S IN DRIVE AND UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT ENTERS A SAFETY TYPE MODE WITH NO INDICATION AND WILL REMAIN IN GEAR ZERO FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN AS IT STARTS MOVING, IT DOES SO WITH VERY LITTLE POWER LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN DANGER OF GETTING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM CROSS TRAFFIC. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON VIA THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON THE 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS ON FORD VEHICLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO CROSS MULTI LANE HIGHWAYS BUT THE MOST RECENTLY CAME VERY CLOSE TO WHAT COULD HAVE ENDED INTO A MULTIPLE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRUCK WHO WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CROSS A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE GO BACK TO NORMAL BY SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY DANGEROUS, IS THE DRIVER SUCH AS ME BEING UNAWARE THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN A SAFETY RESTRICTED POWER OUTPUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO WARNING UNTIL YOU COMMIT INTO A DEADLY SITUATION. PEOPLE REPORT THIS ISSUE ON THE…”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR NEXT TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 219,935.”

“VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO PASS A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO PASS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), BUT THEN DOWNSHIFTED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN, WHICH IMMEDIATELY REVVED THE ENGINE UP TO RED LINE (5000 RPM) AND CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO START TO SLOW TO LESS THAN VEHICLE SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE TIRES STARTED SMOKING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE GRASSY EMBANKMENT AND FINALLY GET THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE REAR TIRES AND NARROWLY AVOID CRASHING. THE ONLY REASON THERE WAS NOT A CRASH WAS DUE TO THAT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE HAVING A RELATIVELY SHALLOW GRASSY DOWNWARD EMBANKMENT. 1000 FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF THAT INTERSTATE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO GEAR AND DRIVE IT UP TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY BACK TO MY HOME. ONCE HOME, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING FORD RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT…”

“THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON ACCELERATION AND STOPPING OR GOING UP HILL. ITS BEEN TO OUR FORD DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND AT FIRST THEY FELT IT AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR THAT OR THE AC BLOWER GOING OFF AND ON THEY SAY THEY DON'T FEEL OR SEE ANYTHING IT GOTTEN RIDICULOUS. IN THE FREEWAY I-10 ME AND MY SON WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FAST ENOUGH. I WONT BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN TOWN THEY DON'T CARE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON IN TEMPERATURE CHANGE IT SEEMS LIKE. OUR DEALER FIXED THE DOOR HANDLE BUT NOW ANY RAIN THE INSIDE OF OUR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER AND THEY SAY ITS NOT THERE FAULT AND WONT FIX THAT EITHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAG AND THEY ALSO SAY THEY WONT FIX. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS 40000 SUV VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND ITS SUPPOSE TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE....RIGHT WE GET NO UPDATE OR RECALLS INFO AND OUR DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST I'VE EVER DEALT WITH”
