Noises During Shifting Problems of Ford Expedition

When slowing down and shifting from second to first the transmission makes a loud stuttering noise every time. This is not a normal noise a transmission should make. This is a safety concern that Ford needs to fix in new and older models. This is a very common issue people are reporting on the internet with Fords around this year. Many have had this begin to occur around only 25k miles.

We were driving on 95 when we heard a thud-type noise. We thought we had a flat tire, but then the vehicle would no longer accelerate. We were able to get off at the exit that was immediately upon us and safely pull off on the side of the road. We did not have any flat tires. The vehicle would still turn on and run (so we knew it wasn't the alternator), but it wouldn't accelerate. The Ford dealership informed us it was the mextronics electronic portion of the shift mechanism and valve body in the transmission. They said that this type of problem could not have been prevented and it does not happen often.

A clunk/thump noise from the rear when the transmission is engaged or shifted, during a change in vehicle direction or on acceleration. Have had my trans replaced once under warranty and now its doing the same thing again.

2007 Ford Expedition mileage ~34,000 I have taken my 2007 Ford Expedition into the shop now on 3 separate occasions for the same issue. The first and second time the problem was listed at un-found, and the 3rd time it was in the show they stated that they were aware of an issue but there is currently no fire available. The issue: *when slowing down to a stop, the vehicle seems to stay in a higher gear and then downshifts hard, and comes to a stop. *while accelerating from a stop the vehicle seems to hesitate very badly, then take off. This has been particularly scary when pulling out into traffic because you never know when its going to "catch" and take off. I have basically started to leave myself 10x the room needed to pull out to avoid an injury. 35 miles per hour, when the accelerator is depressed to speed up a clunking noise is heard, and the vehicle hesitates then decides to move. It is almost as if the accelerator is not telling the truck to go! *this vehicle has been a very good vehicle, but Ford has been covering this issue up for many months now! this is going to end up killing someone one day if it is not fixed! written by a corporate safety specialist.

While driving at 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly stopped shifting gears properly. The vehicle failed to go into reverse and there was a metal to metal noise. The automatic transmission malfunctioned which caused this failure.

Since purchasing this vehicle in March 2000, we have had problems with rough idling, transmission not wanting to shift, front end clunking, rear end suspension and sudden acceleration. Extensive repairs have been done on this vehicle, including replacing the transmission, yet none of the above items have been repaired. It is extremely dangerous to be driving a vehicle when suddenly it will accelerate and drive on its own. The car can drive at 50 - 60 mph for several miles without stepping on the accelerator. When stopped at a traffic light you have to listen to the engine, watch the rpm's and be ready to put the car into neutral and push forcefully on the brakes to keep the car from plowing into the car ahead. Last week I pulled into the bank parking lot and with no warning the car's rpm's jumped to 3,000 and I barely missed hitting two parked cars. In addition, the front end makes hard, loud grinding noises, when backing up the four wheel drive goes out and it feels like the car has two flat tires. It also does this sometime going forward and turning, so it is difficult to steer when it does this. From the day that this car was purchased it has idled like an old car that desperately needs a tune up. All these problems still exist after having the car be at the dealer for 39 days this year. Because this vehicle is not safe, I have notified chino hills Ford, Ford and the arbitration board that I want Ford to repurchase my vehicle because it is not safe.
