The contact owns a 2006 Ford Expedition. While driving 45 mph, the osc warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission torque converter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a transmission specialist where it was diagnosed that several components in the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
At about 11,000 miles I had the first incident while in normal traffic going about 45 mph. Felt like the transmission slipped. No power during 1st and 2nd gear change. A few days later the same thing happen while entering the interstate. While trying to accelerate there was no power, nearly hit by semi-truck, couldn't get over 60 mph and the check engine light came on. I slowed back on the accelerator and light went off and power slowly came back. Took vehicle to Ford at 12,000+ miles, kept it for several days. Said it was a computer module, changed it, picked vehicle up and not 2 miles down the road the same thing happened again. Didn't have the time to take it right back in not to mention there rental car experience was equally horrible. It's in their shop now 3/10 and I'm at 22,000 miles and it happens every time I accelerate. It's a very dangerous problem. Now they say they think it's something to do with the torque converter and have ordered parts. I'm also having a problem with it not starting after driving, getting out and getting back in within about 30 minutes. We'll see next week what the outcome is!.
