Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Ford Expedition - part 1

My 2015 Ford Expedition needs to added to the recall 22s56. I just paid $1,200 to have that part fixed cause it burnt up. Replaced the front blower motor assembly. My husband burnt his hand on the wire exposed under the dash then the mechanic said the blower motor has burnt up the components around it. The fan, motor, control, and wire assembly all was burnt up. Ford needs to be made to include my vehicle in their recall as that vehicle year, model, plant made in and date made all match.

Was driving 80mph down the highway when instantly the rear wheels locked up, green wrench came on dashboard and my car came to a screeching halt. Complete loss of power, and am very lucky it did not create a major pile up on the highway! had to "bunny" hop it over 4 lanes of traffic and barely survived the most terrifying experience of my life. Had it towed and the mechanic shop said the throttle body/actuator had magnetic problem which is very common, are you kidding me?! but there are no recalls on it, and they had to replace the entire unit, and now I am scared to death to drive the vehicle ever again. I am also very lucky it did not happen on snow, ice, or rain!!!!! so dangerous and so scary!!!! and I could barely hop it out of oncoming traffic. . . . How can a vehicle go from 80mph to zero in . 02 seconds due to a faulty part and there is no recall???? so grateful to be alive!!!! Ford needs to take some responsibility before there are deaths from a very simple preventative measure due to a part completely failing. After looking it up online I read hundred's of people having the same issue.

The fuel line/fuel pump was leaking. Smelled fumes from the gasoline. Fuel was leaking over the fuel tank from the top of the tank. The vehicle was drivable when fuel was leaking. Very concerned that their could have been a fire due to the fuel leak. Took the vehicle to the Ford service department where it was purchased. Service shop stated that during inspection they noticed that something chewed through the fuel line/fuel pump. Comments made by the service advisors stated that they have seen squirrels/rodents attracted to the soy based ingredients of the parts/wiring. The repair would not be covered under warranty due to "outside influence". The manufacturer is installing a similar part and not covering under warranty. No warning lights; no warning messages. If the same type of soy based part is being installed, what is going to prevent the same thing from happening. Ford is not offering different types of parts and they do not have a way to prevent additional damage. No shield/tape/covering is being offered. Numerous instances of this referenced online due to soy based parts and Ford knowingly installing these parts without a fix or prevention. Consumer is responsible for all repairs. No warranty.

Ongoing problem already had 2 repairs done to transmission. Gears o not shift properly when the gears go from 3-4 and 6-7. If I am not careful when I press on the gas and try to accelerate it does not shift gears and gets stuck on and my truck will not move more than 5-10 mph while I am trying to get on the highway at times with trailers coming full speed ahead behind me. I have reported this issue many times. There has been no remedy. The gears get stuck and make a jerking motion and movement causing truck to slow and barely move. It is not just a one time thing so I cant give a specific date as it happens often.

The vehicle stopped running while driving, my wife stopped at a stop sign after vehicle had run ~ 10 minutes. Upon entering the inter-section the vehicle started to run rough, and ultimately stalled and would not restart. She was able to coast into a parking lot entrance within on top of world subdivision where we live and get off of main road. After multiple aaa attempts to jump start, aaa confirmed the vehicle was unable to be jump started, therefore vehicle was towed to local Ford dealership for diagnostics. They tried to jump start multiple times and after 2 days, pushed it into garage. They confirmed fuel pump failure and replaced with current design. We were charged for towing, new battery, and fuel pump system replacement with current design and advised we would have to bring it back in when Ford identified remedy for current recall. No loaner vehicle provided. We are very concerned as if this event had occurred on an interstate, there is a high risk of accident/injury. After repair with existing part designs we are worried about another failure on busy road/interstate.

Campaign 19n01 description transmission molded leadframe extended coverage next steps contact your dealer for next steps. Did this and was told that the vehicle was not covered due to it being after 10 years and barely over 150,000 miles. I am experiencing transmission issues where the torque converter clutch is now stuck on and the lead frame is more than likely the cause. Thanks Ford, never again.

The transmission is consistently hesitating to switch gears, very jerky gear shift, and will sometimes completely fall out of gear. You could so easily lose control if this happened on the highway. Thank goodness we weren’t on a busy street. This isn’t the first reporting according to a simple search online and there should be a recall for safety reasons. This could be life or death for someone driving on the highway.

Transmissions cdf drum is failing annd causing my transmission to go out of gear and slam into first and I just preformed “cam phaser” repairs exceeding $3400. A vehicle this new should not need these repairs. There’s 1000s of complaints online and it’s sick and twisted that Ford is not forced to recall these issues.

With only 53500 miles the gears stopped working. The gear shift pulls and hesitates when changing gears. The engine pulls when excelerating even at low speeds while struggling to shift. The cam is also causing issues with loud start up sounds.

My transmission started losing power on acceleration, hard jerk/bang when shifting into gear, transmission slipping, loss of power between shifts.

There was a recall for cam phasers etc under 21n03. My car was fixed in 2021 but the parts they put it in were not the updated parts.

I contacted the dealership and they are not willing to cooperate or work with me. I will attach the report that was done back in 2021 below.

Recall issue with catalytic converters causing check engine light to come on. I took in for recall to reset check engine light. Repair did not do anything to vehicle as check engine light comes on for a few days and goes away for a few days and the cycle repeats up until this day it continues to happen. When they did the reset Ford let me know that they reset the check engine issue for recall but I would have to pay about $5k for getting new converters if I wanted to because light would still be one since it was diagnosed that converters were bad.

On several occasions the engine has slipped/stalled. Vehicle has only 27k miles on it, single owner. When moving from a stoplight the engine "slipped", all lights came on "service alert" or something similar. Vehicle recovered but I am very uneasy as I am a 52 year old female usually driving alone and often on a very busy section of I-85. (this has occurred multiple times) when increasing speed, as to pass a vehicle or otherwise, vehicle is unresponsive or lags. To be clear this happens at speeds of 40-50 mph. It is unpredictable when this will occur nor why. I will likely sell this vehicle due to this safety issue. I spoke with a service rep at the local Ford dealership who was able to look into the vehicle computer remotely but there was no record of the "alert" or otherwise. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic who drove it and was able to replicate the danger/slipping. I was advised to do "zip code" driving only. I believe this "engine slipping" is related to the recall just issued except the 2020 Ford Expedition is not included in this recall. Others have noted this issue as well with NHTSA.
