The transmission jumps in and out of gear, the engine revs on its on. I was on the highway the first time and I going between 60 and 65 mph and it sounded like the whole bottom of the truck was just ripped out, the truck went from drive to either park or first gear it locked up the back tires and there was a truck behind me he tried to miss me but he hit the back passenger side of the truck. He was very very upset he threatening and cussing me because he thought I just slammed on my brakes for no reason. I explained to him what was happening and calmed down think god. It could have killed him or me or even several other people. When it locked up the tires then it jumped back in drive and tried tot take off, I threw it in neutral and cut the key off. That scared the sh. . Out of me!! I have talked to other people that have around the same year model truck as mine and some of them are having the same issues with it jumping in and out of gear not wanting to shift gears revving up on its own and no engine light comes on I've tried to get a code scanner scan it no codes come up on the truck Ford needs to fix this truck they had a recall on certain models that were manufactured at different plants or something like that I heard but they won't fix my truck they said it's not under recall this truck is going to kill somebody it's the only truck I have and I have to go to work I'm just asking if you can please do something about this before people get killed in or I get killed I'm going to try to get a video of what it does I'm just asking if you can please do something about this Ford knows what the problem is I read stuff on it and they need to fix these trucks before it kills people they know what the problem is if I have a bad wreck and I live to it or this truck causing somebody to lose their life it's going to be a multi multi multi million dollar lawsuit because they refuse to fix the truck I'm just asking you if you can please do something about this thank you.
Metal corrosion on the back liftgate is allowing water to leech into the electrical connections to the back camera, causing it to intermittently not work leading to complete failure eventually. The service techs at the Ford dealership have described this common problem with this year model Expeditions and is due to a chemical problem either with the metal or factory paint or both. Corrosion is not due to rust. We bought the car new in late 2011.
B post failed causing seat belt to rip out. I can send more pictures if needed.
I was involved in a traffic collision today, may 15, 2015, going southbound the speed of 45mph on a city street in rancho cucamonga CA. Another car going westbound didn't wait at stop sign, went through the intersection, I slammed on the brakes and turned wheel to the right to avoid hitting her but we collided, I was spun around, she ended up in the front yard the house on the corner. The front of my vehicle hit the front fender and front door of the passenger side of her vehicle. Only 1 airbag deployed in my vehicle, the passenger side, with no passenger sitting there. My vehicle has several other airbags that did not deploy, even though the whole front end was smashed. Also, the one airbag that did deploy caught on fire, and filled the interior of the truck with a burning white smoke, not powder. It was a very strong burning smell that I inhaled a lot of. Not sure why only the one airbag deployed and all the others didn't??? please help me in getting to the bottom of this. Should other vehicles like mine be recalled? I have to say, although I was not severely injured, it would have been way better if my safety restraint system would have worked the way it was intended. Have there been other instances like mine? what should Ford motor company do for me? what do I do next? please help me. Thank you, [xxx] ## VIN passed ## Ford, Expedition, 2012 ## information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Have rust bubbles on inside bottom of rear lift gate. Took to dealer and was told this is common problem where lift gate was not manufactured properly. For a car less than 5 years old, this should not be rusting.
