Transmissions CDF Drum is failing annd causing my transmission to go out of gear and slam into first and I just preformed “cam phaser” repairs exceeding $3400. A vehicle this new should not need these repairs. There’s 1000s of complaints online and it’s sick and twisted that Ford is not forced to recall these issues.

The transmission has completely failed. My wife pulled out into traffic and it failed to engage.

While driving the 2019 Ford Expedition the transmission intermittently has an issue where there is harsh or extreme delayed engagement and loss of power. This has occurred while attempting to merge on the highway in traffic and put myself and highway drivers at risk when it suddenly was not possible to accelerate to merge safely. The component was inspected by the Ford dealer and their response was to re-program the transmission software, however this has not resolved the issue and it still occurs. There were no warning lamps or indicator to show that the vehicle has a problem.

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.

Cam Phasers were recalled a couple years ago. I had the recall done and they were replaced. They are now worse than ever. My car horribly rattles every single time that I start it up and also now rattles when it idles. I should not have to pay for this out of my pocket. Clearly the part used in the recall did not do it's job.
