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.

The transmission seems to slip, shudder and sometimes lag or jerk ahead unexpectedly. At times when waiting to cross traffic, the lagging makes it so I almost stall for a second or two and fear getting hit by oncoming traffic. Each time I have asked the dealership to determine the cause, I am told they have to do a software update and reset the adaptive drive to the factory reset. I have had this serviced three times and the problem continues to reoccur a couple months after the reset and software update. Then I get to take it back and pay for the same service all over again. The incorrect timing of the transmission may now have led to a faulty catalytic converter which is now having to be replaced at only 88k miles.

Vehicle transmission jerky with hard shifts, has missed gears resulting in vehicle in neutral while in traffic at speed. Could be a major hazard at intersections. Issue appears to be common enough for Ford to issue TSB but only repair available is transmission rebuild or replacement. Local dealer service adviser states issue is happening once a week with vehicles in their shop. This is a known issue with the CDF drum within the transmission that is putting people at risk.

My expedition since I bought it completely turns off on me on roads and highways and throws up a wrench symbol and check engine light. Everytime I bring it in to the dealer they keep clearing codes and never fixing anything even tho I have extended warranty. They have had my car for 5-6 months maybe longer but the last time they had it for over a month said everything is fine for our roadtrip. Well the car turned off on me and died in the middle of the Utah Highway... had to be towed. was told it has 70 plus alerts

We bought a 2019 Ford expedition max xlt. On a trip we kept having problems with it jumping out of gear and it felt like the transmission was going to fall out. We looked it up and found several complaints on this same problem with the 2019 models although I can't find any recalls that would have fixed the problem.
