Transmission failure. Vehicle has failed to accelerate and then failed to move at all. Still under warranty and no codes shown. Vehicle left immobile on interstate due to intermittent transmission failure. Initial repair was not sufficient as issue has returned. No solutions for additional repair to address safety issue.
This is a report of a recurring, life-safety defect involving unintended vehicle movement in a 2024 Ford Expedition. The vehicle has experienced two separate incidents where it was placed in 'park,' remained stationary for 13-30 seconds, and then began driving itself backward without driver intervention or throttle input. Incident 1: occurred on March 29, 2026 and I have this one on video. Incident 2: occurred on April 8, 2026. The video clearly shows the vehicle remaining stationary and in 'park' for 13 seconds before the unintended movement begins. This delay proves the movement is not a 'start-up rocking' sensation or 'normal clutch drag,' but a delayed mechanical or electronic failure of the park actuator or transmission system. I presented the vehicle for service at a Ford dealership on April 17, 2026. Despite my report of a delayed-onset rollaway, the dealership documented the issue as a 'normal and desired characteristic' of the 10-speed transmission. They characterized the event as a minor 'rocking' sensation that occurs immediately, which is factually contradicted by my video evidence showing a 13-second delay. This leaves me with an unsafe vehicle prone to unintended movement. I am requesting a formal investigation into a potential park-engagement failure.
Components: engine & power train safety risk: momentary loss of power problem has not been reproduced by dealer or independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by Ford dealer joe cooper Ford in oklahoma city, ok there were/are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem that appear prior to the failure. This has happened 6 or 7 times since vehicle was purchased in October 2024 : accelerating from stop with auto start/stop either on or off and reach between 35 - 40 mph. Vehicle suddenly dies but immediately started back up like nothing ever happened. Joe cooper Ford reinstalled the latest update on 4/29/2025 and thought this would fix the problem. [xxx] - accelerated from start. Auto start/stop is on. Reached 38 mph-engine suddenly died then immediately restarted. Drive selector blinking red on console in d. Could rev engine but seemed transmission was in n. Switched drive selector to n, the back to d and resumed as normal. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

At 715 miles on the odometer, the driver's side rear axle became detached from the wheel hub bearing, causing a loss of power while driving. Dealer states this was a manufacturing defect as the axle retaining bolt was cross-threaded and not properly seated.
Brand new 2024 Ford Expedition bought on 12/18/2024, came with a hairline crack on the transmission housing. Only leaked while driving at operating temperature. First noticed leak at 1600 miles transmission started operating faulty shortly there after. Could have been much worse if transmission failed at highway speeds. Dealer found hairline crack at around 4000 miles after multiple dealer visits. Currently at shop awaiting new transmission from manufacturer.
