2015 Ford Expedition Power Train

Issue I’m having with my 2015 Ford expedition Limited, is on multiple occasions when I’m at highway speeds my vehicle downshifts and decelerates. While im driving through the city streets, my vehicle downshifts randomly and does not upshift. On these occasions I’ve had to safely pull over and turn my vehicle off and on. Doing so resolves the problem for about 10 miles, and then back to the same issue.

Vehicle will shift in and out of gears randomly while driving I’m concerned about driving on the highway and getting into or causing an accident because it happens at random and then stops No lights on dashboard and vehicle just passed inspection I believe it is a problem with the TCM and there has been an extended warranty issues for the same part in different models for ford including the fiesta and focus I believe

I was driving and going around 45mph when the wrench warning light came on and I lost the ability to accelerate. The car could only coast. I was able to coast to a parking lot. I turned off the car and restarted it. It seemed fine so I drove home. The same thing happened again a couple of days later. We checked the codes and it had a p2112 error code. We replaced the throttle body and it seems fine now. However this is the second time we have had to replace the throttle body. The same thing happened in 2018 with about 74000 miles on the car. We replaced the throttle body then also. From internet searches this seems to be a common problem. It is a big safety issue since the car loses the ability to accelerate unexpectedly. I was lucky I was able to coast out of the way each time without causing an accident.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and shifted into park(P) and the contact exited the vehicle to run errands; however, upon returning to where the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the vehicle had rolled away. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and had started engaging the parking brake whenever the vehicle was parked. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Vehicle was placed in park and rolled down a driveway. Vehicle almost crashed through a house across the street if the owner did not jump in the vehicle and slam the brake. Problem has not yet been reproduced by a dealer. The part has not yet been evaluated by the dealer. Although, the dealer has done improper inspections of broken parts on the vehicle when it was under warranty in an attempt to get out of replacing them, so I do not trust the dealer to do a proper assessment.

I was towing a trailer on a freeway when I suddenly got a "wrench" light stating my engine was cutting power due to heat and before I knew what to do there my vehicle was coasting, and so I quickly as I could changed lanes and came to a stop just a foot from the white line on the right. Cars and trucks are whizzing by me at highway speeds and was luckily off the road enough not to get hit. I had three other passengers at the time in my vehicle. what failed: after getting my passengers safely in other vehicles at the next rest stop, the trailer that I was towing was hooked up by another person on the same trip, I had my vehicle brought home on a flatbed. Fast forward to this week when it was finally diagnosed at a transmission shop. I was informed a transmission cooling line had ruptured, sending all the transmission oil out of the case and bringing me to an abrupt end on the freeway. Had I not been able to get over I would have come to a halt on the freeway, putting myself and my passengers as well as others behind me at risk. The transmission shop confirmed the issue. Since we were going at highway speeds when the transmission coolant line ruptures the oil gushes out and i have very little time before the transmission will not work. The only warning was from the engine as the transmission oil got pumped out, I'm assuming the engine revved to compensate, creating more heat, then the warning light which only happened seconds before I had no way to move. I was pretty scared, but I had other passengers in the vehicle, so I had to remain calm. At the time I had no idea what happened. I asked the transmission shop manager if that was a serviceable item (I'm pretty sure it's not) and he confirmed transmission coolant lines should last the life of the vehicle. My vehicle is only 8 years old--that is a catastrophic failure of a non-moving part leading to almost instant transmission failure. I asked if debris could have broken the line--he said no.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked at a gas station, the vehicle slowly rolled away. The contact shifted the vehicle out of park to stop the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle was shaking abnormally while shifting gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic. While the mechanic was test driving the vehicle, he noticed there was a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.

THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO "LIMP MODE" WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT BEING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME AND NO FAILURE CODE IS COMING UP. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FAILURE CODE BEING DISPLAYED AND RECOMMENDED TOWING THE VEHICLE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. I HAVE FEAR OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY.

TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TO LOWER GEAR, FIRST TIME 6TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR, SECOND TIME LAST WEEK WENT FROM 3RD TO 1ST, LUCKILY WAS DRIVING SLOW IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE BY OUR HOUSE.

VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A HOME WHILE STILL IN PARK.

WHILE TRAVELING IN THE PASSING (3RD) LEFT LANE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICAL TOTALLY LOSS POWER, MOTOR STILL RUNNING BUT JUST AT AN UNEVEN POOR IDLE, STILL IN GEAR, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YET THE MOTOR WAS STILL AT THE POOR IDLE. ON THE DASH COMUPTER A WRENCH APPEARED WITH "SEE MANUAL" ALONG WITH A SMALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ABOVE THAT. I WAS FORCED TO GET OUT OF THAT DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO POWER, COASTING THROUGH 3 LANES WITH MY WIFE WAVING OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO LET MY POWERLESS CAR DRIFT OVER. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE MOTOR WAS STILL POORLY IDLING, GIVING IT GAS DID NOTHING, STILL JUST A ROUGH IDLE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND MIRACULOUSLY I ONCE AGAIN HAD CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS STILL 3 HOURS FROM HOME WITH ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING AHEAD OF ME, WHICH I DID DOING 55MPH IN THE SLOW LANE & READY TO TURN OFF ROAD. I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE AS TO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS, LET ALONE THE MOST DANGEROUS EPISODE OF OUR LIVES. WHAT REALLY IS UNACCEPTABLE IS THAT I JUST HAD A 70K MILE CHECKUP AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY RECCOMEND CHANGING MY TRANSFER CASE OIL ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE & TIRE ROTATION. I WAS GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FOR A ROAD TRIP. I REFUSE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN, ESPECIALLY BEING A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE REVERSED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND DOWN A HILL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ONCE IT STRUCK A BUILDING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,096. *TT

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH SUDDEN POWER LOSS. SPEED WENT FROM 50 MPH TO 2 MPH. VEHICLE DRIFTED TO A STOP DESPITE PRESSING GAS. AFTER WAITING BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROX. 4 MPH. FRIEND RESPONDING SUGGESTED TURNING ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN. THAT WORKED, POWER RESTORED AND ABLE TO GET HOME. DEALER REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED.

DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO SUDDENLY AND DANGEROUSLY LOSE POWER. WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, (ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP GRADE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND SHAKE, THE WRENCH SYMBOL POPPED UP AS WELL AS A WARNING SEE OWNERS MANUAL. AS I SAFELY GOT OFF THE ROAD I HAD WAITED FOR CARS TO PASS BY BEFORE I TRIED TO RE EMERGE ONTO THE ROAD AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO A FULL PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO APPROX. 1 MILE HR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND I DECIDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT LET ME DRIVE WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER MY INCIDENT I WENT HOME TO GOOGLE THE SYMPTOMS IT APPEARED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES. HOW EVER UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED BUT YET HAS THE SAME ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE TO START AN INVESTIGATION IN THIS MATTER AS SAME OTHER CONSUMERS MIGHT NOT BE AS SKILLFULLY OF A DRIVER AS MYSELF AND POSSIBLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH OVER THIS ISSUE.

2015 FORD EXPEDITION EL LIMITED NOTED TO HAVE WHISTLING/WHINING NOISE WITH ACCELERATION. EVALUATED BY A FORD DEALER. FOUND TO HAVE DEFECTIVE SEAL ON REAR AXLE WITH LOSS OF LUBRICATING FLUID AND DAMAGE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. THIS WAS NEAR MISS; NO ACCIDENT/INJURY OCCURRED. GIVEN THAT THIS PART FAILED ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE (LESS THAN ONE MONTH OLD) AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR 3-6 WEEKS DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS, I AM CONCERNED THAT FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART BUT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
