Transmission is shifting hard around 4th or 5th gear. It is lagging as well causing the car not to accelerate when needed causing safety concern while driving in traffic. It will randomly have high rpms like it is shifting out of gear when not needed. There are no lights or codes. It hasn-??t been inspected by dealer. It is a common problem on ford expeditions. My friend is having the exact same problem and you can find it all over the internet of other consumers have the same problem as well. It is dangerous to drive if it malfunctions while on the road with traffic especially with children in the car.

The cam phasers on my vehicle need replaced, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I took the vehicle to Ford initially and was told "they didn't have a mechanic" that could address the issue on a Saturday, and completely dismissed the concern and only changed my oil. I have since had two separate mechanics diagnose the problem, and each independently determined the cam phasers are the issue. My safety isn't at risk, as I understand it the cam phasers aren't a safety issue. I was told by Ford that they couldn't answer my questions or help me, and was directed to contact NHTSA with my concern. There are no warning lamps or messages; the problem was identified by the audible noise presented at start up. I contacted Ford after I became aware that there were CSP's issued with regard to the CAM phasers, but Ford stated my VIN wasn't assigned to the CSP. However, the CSP identifies a specific build plant, and build date, both of which my vehicle falls under. So there is no plausible explanation for how they did not assign my VIN to the CSP, therefore I was not notified back in 2022 or 2023 of the issue, so I had no chance to rectify the issue when the problems occurred, nor was I made aware that this issue might arise.

My Ford Expedition Max started to make a rattling noise after I start the vehicle, if the car was running for a while I could turn it off and on again and wouldnt hear the noise, but if the engine was cold it would make a rattling noise when started. Then if I do not let the SUV warm up long enough and start driving it would have a point where it would do a random hard slow down before it would kick into gear and then it would feel like it was running fine. This started a few weeks ago the I was driving on the highway and while i was doing about 55MPH the suv made a loud noise that made the vehicle change speed dramatically it cause me to be whiplashed forward before the engine seemed to catch back up to its orevious actions, it did not actually cause an accident at that point (but it very well could have if the road was busy as it was a dramatic chnage in speed as well as the noise it made). I pulled over to inspect but there was nothing in the road and nothing that was being done that seemed to cause the traumatic issue. The next day when I brought the car to the mechanic and explained the issue he was able to diagnose an issue with the timing chain. Upopn some resaerch there many complaints and issues with my that make/models particular engine and parts that have had issues but the dealer would not assist saying there is no formal recall and at 69K miles I am over the warrenty. My car doesnot have any codes or warning lights and has all regularly scheduled maintenance and repairs done regularly but the car is clearly not driving correctly, This issue is causing the SUV to dramatically change speed while driving which is likely to cause an accident and severe injury.

While driving on the highway, and the vehicle tries to downshift, the transmission makes a loud clunking sound and shifts into neutral, causing the vehicle to slow rapidly while driving. Warning lights appear on the dash as this occurs, and the vehicle sits in neutral for 15 to 30 seconds, leaving you without acceleration while stuck on the road. This has happened 3 times in a short amount of time, and has put us and our cars children in an incredibly dangerous situation each time. On the third time, while trying to figure out what happened, we realized this is a known issue that Ford has recalled on other models (F150) but has fought recalling on the Expedition. Both the F150 and the Expedition use the same transmission, and Ford has admitted to a design flaw that causes the shifting issues. We would like to request that Ford be held responsible for the safety issue that affects all vehicles with their 10 speed transmission, not merely just the F150 because it is their most popular model.

Transmission will not shift properly under acceleration and will make loud clunking noises when shifting.

- Catawba, SC, USA

Transmission (10R80) had dark and foul smelling fluid and shifted erratically, harsh, clunky and delayed @ ~75K miles, perhaps even much sooner. Ford repeatedly stated that the performance was as expected and normal behavior making no effort to further diagnose or support. Next, the transmission fluid was sampled during a flush by a Ford dealer and sent to a lab for analysis. Report came back that there was high metal content in the fluid. New fluid quickly became dark and foul smelling again with similar performance as above. Next I had Ford dealer reset the shift learning and update/check the shift sequence as recommended by a current TSB. Even after some time, the performance was similar as above. Next I had a Ford dealer diagnose further, to which they then said that I needed a new transmission. At this time, the original TSB was added to, where now the CDF drum was noted as a possible failure. At this time, however, the TSB did not mention a need for clutch replacement. Finally, the transmission was completely rebuilt. All of this was paid for by me out of pocket.

Transmission and shifting problems under 70,000 miles. Also the ac compressor and blower has gone out.

- Kailua, HI, USA

The transmission shifts erratically due to similar issues seen 2014 F-150's that have been recalled. We have seen the transmission jump from 10th to 1st gear and have had the transmission lock out randomly. This issue has caused near miss incidents on the highway and interstate several times. The vehicle is currently parked due to this issue as we try to work with Ford to replace the transmission. Safety was put at risk due to erratic shifting of the transmission. We took the car to the dealer and they named the issue as the CDF clutch pack.the component has not yet been inspected directly as the problem is a known problem for Ford. Yes there were warning lamps when the transmission locked out and would not allow the vehicle to move under it's own power till the power was cycled.

Transmissions are failing. They have a faulty CDF drum. In the 10R80 transmissions. Ford knows it. And they aren't recalling it. Transmissions are failing at low mileage. Some are out of warranty for the age. People are having to pay for 2 and 3 Transmissions. Pay for outrageous extended warranties just to be covered. They are jumping gears and completely dying on highways. I belong to an expedition group. And every day someone is almost in an accident. Or are replacing a transmission. I've had problems since I got mine. Hard shifting. Delayed shifting. 3 times in two weeks I tried passing on a highways. I hit the gas to pass. And it made a loud bang and lost all power to transmission. Was like it's in neutral. I had to try getting to the side of the high way through traffic before it stopped moving. Had to put back in park. Shut car off and restart. I had kids in the car both times. Thousands of people are having this problem. I was going up a hill and almost was rear ended. If my kids had been hurt. Ford would have been sued. They know it's a problem. Same transmission in the expedition. F150s. They just keep making money off people fixing them and the Ford warranty. Many people they completely failed on highways. Someone is going to get hurt because they refuse to acknowledge its a safety issue and just do a repair that needs done again in a year or two. This has been going on for years and still no recall. Something needs to be done already.
