Transmission will suddenly shift gear while driving. One on occasion it downshifted to 1st gear. Luckily we were only going 45 mph, so I was able to maintain control of the vehicle. In a separate instances it downshifted 1 gear while driving 60 mph, remained in the lower gear and appeared to be stuck in that gear, because after coming to a complete stop it was very slow to pick up speed and didn't shift gears. Same thing happened within a 1 1/2 weeks, driving 70 mph, feel a slight jerk, transmission gets stuck in lower gear (noticeable higher RPM) and then magically clears itself up a few minutes later. Took it to 2 different Ford Dealers. Both say, the Molded Lead Frame/Valve Body assembly has gone bad. There is no recall for this, yet we had the exact same issue on a 2013 F-150. There had been a recall for model years (up to 2012) but not 2013. Then a few months later, the 2013 model year as included (I guess enough people complained). Now Ford claims that recall doesn't cover the 2014 Expedition with the 5.4L engine. Utter nonsense, same problem, same part that is failing/needs replacing.

As I was driving on the freeway my transmission downshifted and my rear wheels locked up and I lost control of my vehicle with all 4 of my children in the car with me! After this happened the check engine light came on and I had the code read at my local auto parts store and the error code was P0720 for the output shaft sensor which is located on the lead frame inside my transmission. I called my Ford dealer to get a quote to fix my car and was told based on my VIN the part number for the faulty part is AL3Z7G276D. When I looked up this part number on the internet I found that this part was recalled for the same exact thing that happened to me except that the current recall didn-??t include my model year and build. I-??m confused as to why if the recalled part number is in my truck and I almost died along with all 4 of my children because of it that my car is not covered in this safety recall.

On Sunday November 29, 2020, the vehicle was driven back from church, approximately 10 miles. It was parked on a gravel drive way, in park, and the key removed. The vehicle was exited at approximately 12:35pm. At 2:46pm it was noticed that the vehicle was up against a towable man-lift with the tongue of it inside the front grill of the vehicle. The keys were retrieved from the home's dining room table a short time later and the vehicle was moved off of the man-lift and the parking brake was set to assure that it did not roll again. It was noted that the vehicle was locked, in 'park', and everything appeared normal. At this point it was realized that a ring camera was observing the area. The video was retrieved to see exactly what happened. The video shows that at 12:41pm, six minutes after parking the vehicle, it began rolling unattended, and came to reset against the man-lift. Shortly thereafter all attempts were made to duplicate the issue by attempting to remove the keys without the vehicle being in park, etc. The incident could not be recreated. The vehicle was taken to reynolds Ford okc the next morning. The video of the event has been provided to reynolds Ford okc. I have worked with the servicing dealer to notify Ford Corp. Of this event. Their counsel has advised me that they have no responsibility in the event. I beg to disagree. No vehicle should ever roll when in park, the keys removed and the doors locked. I have a ring camera video of the event that was shared with reynolds Ford and Ford Corp. I will be happy to share it with you but your documentation format will not accept videos.

100306-105660 miles vehicle purchased used -Ford 2014 Expedition would stall occasionally and downshift while on highway and got worse. 5 mechanics (one was Ford dealership), $3000 of guessing and replacing parts (fuel pump& filter, throttle body), almost getting rear ended three times at highway speeds down to 10-20 mph, no codes, 10 weeks of in & out of repair shops, and no one can find problem. Finally got bad enough last mechanic got code of lead frame connector with decoder plugged under dash during test drive. Recall does not include my VIN or model. Ford knows this is a problem and should be held responsible. They should redesign this part and pay for all repairs done to vehicles regardless of where repairs done, year or mileage and how many times this occurs until the problem no longer exists. This problem seems to occur after warranty period has expired as no codes appear in dash or full vehicle scans.

The drivers side door will not always close and secure. The door latch sometimes stays in the open or closed position. The vehicle was stationary. Unsafe as you would have to drive with the door unsecured.also the shifting lever will occasionally stick in park and will not come out even after applying the brake. Unsafe if you have to stop and put in park on side of road or highway you can't take it out of park when clear to do so. Dealer said they can not repair because they can not duplicate issue. The only way to put the vehicle in motion was to drive with drivers door not secured.

Seems to be the same issue with the 2011 to 2013 6R80 transmissions that a previous recall dealt with. While driving the expidition downshifted by itself causing to go off the road and almost being rear ended. My vehicle is made at the same plant and the recall goes to vehicles manufactured to 4/13 mine was 8/13. Which makes it a new model year 2014. The previous recall was 2011 to 12. The later added 2013 models. They need to look into adding 2014 or later to this list since it is happening to this model as well. I do not feel safe driving my Expedition. Also the speedometer jumped up and down wrench light came on it jump and surges at lower speeds. But shutting it off seems to reset it for a short while but the issue always comes back.
