2019 Ford Expedition Power Train

We purchased the 2019 Ford Expedition Limited from Interstate Ford in Miamisburg, OH, for $49,500 in 2023. The vehicle had roughly 47k miles on it at the time; it now has 69k. I started noticing that it was downshifting when I pulled out of my driveway and got about a block away from home shortly after our purchase. I reported this to the dealership several times, and they said they could not get it to replicate the problem. I explained that it was only happening when the engine was cold. Fast forward to June 2025, I was at the intersection one morning, and the vehicle would not move forward. Then it lurched forward suddenly, from that point, I started having more issues with 1st & 2nd gears. I took it to Germain Ford in Beavercreek, and they evaluated the issue and determined that I need a new transmission. This was submitted to Ford, and the replacement was approved, but it appears my extended warranty will have to cover the charges. I have noticed that several other people have reported the same issues with their 2019 models. Ford should cover this repair at no cost to us; that's just my opinion.

Transmission 10R80 2017-2023 is prone to jerking, sudden power loss, complete failure, hard shifts and random downshifts. Ford knows that this issue exists but fails to issue a recall. The main issue is with the CDF drum. Ford came out with a new CDF Drum in 2023 to remedy the issue. But fails to cover any costs to fix it. To get to the CDF drum a complete transmission tear down is required. Ford is involved in multiple class action lawsuits and has even issued a TSB (22-2428) but again, fails to cover any costs.

Traveling at approximately 65 MPH and the transmission slipped into neutral and we began to lose speed while the engine freely revved, then it slammed back into gear violently. Then about an hour later on the same trip it did it again, except this time when it slammed into gear the rear tires lock up and we were nearly rear ended, luckily they swerved over in time. The wheels then unlocked and the vehicle drove mostly normal after that. The shifts were of poor quality from time to time, and we are out of state with no choice but to continue for the week. It seemed to happen when trying to increase speed, so now I am very gingerly speeding up when needed. We will get it in for service as soon as we get home next week.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 35,155.

10 Speed transmission slipped out of gear twice while driving Vehicle has 39,000 miles but 5.5 years old. Dealership and Ford acknowledge the transmission is a problem but is out of warranty and I need to spend $10,000 for repair. I believe they are selling defective cars to consumers and will not help to resolve the issue especially with such low mileage. They should be placed on recall. An independent transmission repair company tells me these 10 speed cars are commonly seen and cannot be repaired. The internet is full of owners with similar problem

Very delayed shift from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th gear. Sometimes jumping out of gear when attempting to pass or using the interstate on ramp.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. In addition, there was an unknown warning light illuminated, with a message to “Contact the Dealer” displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the previous learning strategy was erased and deleted from the computer system. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

ford knowingly put in a faulty CDF drum to cut corners and make more profit (hence the class action lawsuit) and transmission shifts erratically (1-3-5-10-1-6) safety concern. loss of power while driving

Vehicle has a rattle upon starting. Also the vehicle is shifting harshly and slipping. Sometimes the vehicle will stop accelerating in the middle of the road, or when accelerating from a stopped position. The RPMs will rise but the vehicle stops having power and the gear indicator moves up and down until it clicks back into a gear and the vehicle will go again. I have had the vehicle examined by a technician and have been told that it is the cam phasers, CDF drum/transmission, and torque converter. Ford will not honor any warranty or cover the cost of these repairs.

My 2019 Ford expedition started making a rattling noise when starting the engine, the noise continued to get louder and the engine beagn to make a knocking noise when idling, and trouble starting when cold. I was ouyt of warrenty by a few thousand miles when I had to bring it to be repaired and I was told the cam phasers were faulty and it was a known issue even though Ford not issuing a recall. In my vehicle there was a spring missing and parts loose that dislodged into the engine that could cause it to get caught distroying the entire motor while driving which could seriously injure not just the driver but loose control of car and cause major accident. Doing research this seems to been a common issue in the Ford expedition 2018-2020. There should be a recall for faulty part not just if your still covered under warrenty, it is a serious malfuntion that can really cause bad accident that is not a service or operator error that causes a malfunctioning/breaking of cam phasers.

2019 FORD EXPEDITION THAT HAS BEEN IN FOR PAST TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH NO PROBLEMS FOUND. FORD IS NOW TELLING ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND OF COURSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. ISSUES ARE WHEN AT A STOP AND ACCELARATING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AS IF YOU ARE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. ALSO, AT HWY SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING TO CHANGE LANES THE TRANSMISSION WILL COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AND ENGINE WILL REV THEN IT WILL JUMP BACK IN GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM LUCKY THIS HASNT ENDED IN AN ACCIDENT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WARNING OF THE PROBLEM. I SEE SEVERAL TSB'S THAT FORD HAS PUT OUT BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DOING 50MPH. FORD KNOWS THIS AND THEY ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD I EVER OWN.

SIX WEEKS AGO MY TRANSMITION START JUMPING WHEN IT SHIFTED GEARS. THE EXPEDITION ONLY HAS 82, 212 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND GOT A CODE P2701, WHICH IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. HE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TO SEE IF THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. HAD HIM DO A FULL TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER REPLACEMENT. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GOTTEN WORST AND NOW JUMPS AND HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALL THE TIME, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DELIVER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNDER ANY WARRENTIES. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE AWARE THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION BUT THERE WAS NOTHING COULD DO WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIN FOR AROUND $8000-$9000 DOLLARS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A NUMBER OF VECHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMSSION HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING AND HESITATING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A DIFFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM AND EVEN CAUSE A WRECK AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FOR ALL THESE TRANSMITIONS.

I have started noticing rough shifting, delayed engagement, harsh shifts, and sometimes even slipping between gears. Have taken to the dealership and it is needing a whole new transmission

The vehicle electronically put itself in to park at 75 MPH

When driving down the interstate or crossing traffic the transmissions in these vehicles will slip causing you to be immobile. Possibly causing death

The contact owns 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while accelerating between first and second gear, the vehicle jerked abnormally, and the RPM decreased almost causing the vehicle to stall. The contact stated that after the hesitation, the vehicle returned to normal operation. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission and clutch were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,671.

When driving on a highway we went to pass a slower moving vehicle. When pulling out into the oncoming lane to accelerate the automatic transmission slipped into neutral. This situation became dangerous because there was a vehicle coming at us and we had to break to get back behind the slower vehicle. However the transmission did go back into gear causing us to become a hazard to the vehicles behind us. Again this happened on the interstate when accelerating to get on the interstate. This is a known problem by Ford and has been documented many times. Ford claims that since the vehicle is past the warranty period they aren't responsible to repair.

Transmission failure, skipping, and stalling. It can be inspected. My family and Is safety was put at risk when the transmission started stalling out while leaving the exit ramp to turn onto a busy road with constant traffic. As soon as the acceleration pedal was pressed after leaving the stop sign stalling occurred and again at the following stop light upon acceleration. Yes the problem has been confirmed by a dealership. It has not been inspected by the police, insurance, or others. No warning before hand other than it would skip certain gears and jerk really hard.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle briefly hesitated and failed to properly shift into gear. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 99,500.

My 2019 Ford Expedition Max is experiencing shifting issues from first to second gear. After some extensive research i found that Ford is aware of this problem and issued a TSB for this back in 2023 TSB number 22-2428. I spoke to the dealership, and they stated they were aware of the ongoing issue and there is not a recall for it yet and most of the time unless its life threatening there will not be recall. I find that very disturbing, your vehicle not changing gears is life threatening. Not sure how we can get this investigated and made a recall.

Ongoing transmission issue that ford has not recalled from the release of the 10 speed transmission until 2022 when they replaced the CSF drum

This appears to be a common problem when I researched it online. When trying to accelerate hard, the transmission will suddenly go to neutral instead of shifting. This causes a pause in accelerating when you need. It will then slam in to gear a few seconds later with various warnings about the transmission showing on the dash. I have had the vehicle inspected right after an incident that happened and there are no codes though you have warnings that temporarily show on the dash when it happens. The most recent incident was on the freeway while changing lanes to go around slower traffic and caused the person behind us to have to hit their brakes since the vehicles was unable to accelerate and even slowed instead for several seconds.
