Service engine light illuminated indicating different occurrences. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealership for repair since it's under factory warranty. The service representative, after taking control of the vehicle, he wrote the following in the repair work order: "When Brandon went to park the vehicle, vehicle did not want to go, barely pressed the throttle pedal and it took off like it was floored, foot was off the pedal and it was accelerating in the lot, put vehicle in neutral and applied brakes - see line 2" Line two (2) in the work order states the following: "Customer states the service engine light is still on it shows two different occurrences and reasons in oasis - customer stated wrench light on and no power verified concern checked for dtcs found p2ABA in pcm checked for tsb ssm fsa found tsb 23-2353 reprogrammed pcm oer tsb road tested all okay at this time" Clearly a vehicle with an unexplained acceleration issue poses a real safety issue.

Ford expedition max 2023. My vehicle has had issues since day one. Transmission has a Rough idle- can see hood shake, door shake, steering wheel shake. This is in all temperatures, it does not matter if the car has been sitting for 3 minutes or 2 days it does this. Transmission rough shifting gears 3-4-5 between 1-2 RPMs. What is going on with the transmission" Is it going to potentially lock up on me" Any transmission issue is a safety concern. Windshield wiper not aligned properly front passenger side, ford continues saying this is normal-?? however not all expeditions have abnormally high wind shield wipers. Error code- park brake fault service now. Dealership says this was a fluke for this service code to pop up and nothing is wrong. There was already an air conditioning leak that has been resolved. This should not happen in a 2023 vehicle. Screen is always glitching will stay glitched for several hours where it-??s showing black, or showing 10 different parts of the screen and you can-??t press anything etc-?? or staying locked on the back up camera. Dangerous to be driving and have your maps on and then it disappears where you cannot access it. Right side (passenger side) fold out mirror randomly does not fold out upon unlocking vehicle and gets stuck folded in, dangerous to drive with a mirror folded in this affects visibility. Drivers seatbelt messed up, became loose and had to be replaced. This is again a huge safety issue, it has been fixed but should not be occurring in a 2023 vehicle.

I bought a 2023 FORD EXPEDITION MAX LIMITED for business purposes as a livery vehicle. I drive about 5000 miles a month. Problem 1: From the day I bought this vehicle from ford dealer in GJOVIK FORD in PLANO IL I hear kicks and clunks under my feet (most likely faulty transmission). The kicks and clunks happen when I'm about to come to a stop or when starting from a stop. Sometimes when turning. Its always when I let go of the gas or give it gas. It sounds like I'm driving a 10 year old car. Problem 2: After I did my first oil change I had driven about 2500 miles when the cars engine light came on and I take it to the dealer and they found that the engine oil was too low. They did an oil consumption test and the test shows 1 quart of oil lost for every 1500 miles driven. They find no oil leaks. I'm using full synthetic oil from the dealer. This is unreasonable. Problem 3: The car smells some sort exhaust fumes in the vehicle when I drive for about 30 minutes or more. The first few thousands miles the car would smell a little fumes here and there but now its more constant the longer you drive it. I paid close to $80k for this vehicle. The least I expect is for the car to operate normal. Ford has cheated me out alot of money as I have not received what I have paid for and I am not enjoying it at all. The vehicle currently has 18K miles in it. All symptoms have been present from the day I bought it. I do not know who to contact but this is not fair!

I crunk my 2023 Ford Expedition up yesterday so the AC would run and it wouldn-??t be so hot. I pressed the break, and the start button and simply crunk it up, I then got the keys out of the vehicle so I could unlock my house. When I walked back outside My truck had rolled backwards and hit my house. The vehicle was in park. Now I have to fix my house and my truck and all of this is something that should have never happened and is extremely scary and dangerous. Thankfully I got into my house before it hit it because I may not have been so lucky considering my vehicle was to my back and could-??ve easily rolled over me if it had started rolling sooner than it did.

While driving the vehicle in sport mode and trying to accelerate the pedal will go to the floor and the vehicle will stop moving for a couple of seconds. Usually happens around 20mph and is seemingly random. No warning lights but the vehicle will not move any faster. This has happened 3 times since we bought it.
