The contact stated that his wife informed him that upon parking and exiting the vehicle, the vehicle rolled approximately 20-feet forward and stopped upon hitting a telephone pole. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that no issues were found, and the gear shifter assembly was operating as designed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an excessive electrical drain. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the gear shifter assembly module was temporarily removed. As a result, the excessive battery drain ceased. The mechanic diagnosed that the failure was associated with either the gear shifter assembly or the module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was 90,000.

My car was left in park with the engine running and ac on for 30 min due to having groceries in the car. My car caught fire and completely burned up.

While idling at a traffic light, the engine of my 2015 Ford Expedition began to labor, evidenced by low and hesitating rpm and reduced fan speed of the air-conditioner. Issue was resolved when the air conditioner was shut off, but has reappeared several times as a result of turning on the air conditioner. I have spoken with other recent model Ford explorer and Expedition owners who have reported the same issue occurring in their vehicles. This poses a danger to the public as the car's engine hesitates and nearly stalls reducing required on-demand power and acceleration. This has happened while stationary and idling and also while the vehicle is moving at various speeds (0 - 55 mph) on both city streets and highways. Was sure I'd find a recall related to this issue (most likely a vehicle computer issue) on this site, but no active recalls for 2015 Ford Expeditions exist.

I was not able to open the rear lift gate, the window did work fine. This would happen every now and then non predictable. . The dealer replaced the latch and was amazed the electric key fob did not work of the manual lift gate. There is no emergency override!!!! if some was in the 3rd road seat, and something happened they could not get out. August 1, 2015 I went to the vet with my dog in her kennel in the back. Outside air temp was 93 degrees. I could not open the back hatch to get my dog out. I had to lower all the middle seats, open her kennel, and "convince " her to come out and walk around . I had to lift her up and put her on the ground. Being handicapped this was not fun. . Of course after the vets visit, the darn thing worked it is dangersous!!!.

01 June 2015 driving on interstate 10 from beaumont texas I entered a heavy rain storm, traffic slowed down to about 50 m. P. H. In a 70 m. P. H. Speed zone. I passed a tractor trailer, when the mist from the truck and the rain hit my vehicle, my engine lost power. I removed my foot from the gas, after a few hundred yards the power came back but my engine light was on. The problem happened 4 or 5 times thru louisiana and into florida. I took the vehicle back to the dealer palm bay Ford with 3,000 mile since new they couldn't duplicate the problem so I was told there wasn't a problem. 17 sept. 2015 with 12826 miles I returned to palm bay Ford again, after returning from west virgina in another heavy rain storm the same thing happened, the engine lost power I was told the same thing they couldn't find a problem so no problem exist. This is a safety concern and needs to be addressed.
