2019 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

When driving the vehicle shifts very hard and has a loud clanging in second and fifth gear. It skips those gears and will lag in intersections and on roadways because of the skip. Had it diagnosed by a transmission shop and they said it needed cam phasers. Took it to the dealer and the said it needed a new valve body as the issue was repeatable. Had the valve body replaced and it is still doing it and even worse. No lights came on, and we bought the vehicle used with 81k miles on it and we noticed it right away, so the dealer did a “reprogram” of the software and said it was fine. It started to do it again right away and we called the dealer and they would not return our call. We drove it because we had too until it got bad enough we didn’t feel safe driving it anymore and now it is waiting for the hopes that a new transmission will fix the issue.

Vehicle has a rattle upon starting. Also the vehicle is shifting harshly and slipping. Sometimes the vehicle will stop accelerating in the middle of the road, or when accelerating from a stopped position. The RPMs will rise but the vehicle stops having power and the gear indicator moves up and down until it clicks back into a gear and the vehicle will go again. I have had the vehicle examined by a technician and have been told that it is the cam phasers, CDF drum/transmission, and torque converter. Ford will not honor any warranty or cover the cost of these repairs.

The transmission has delays in shifting up and down causing unpredictable ability to accelerate when entering highways in front of speeding vehicles.The Ford technician confirmed the issue and stated that ultimately, the transmission could fail at anytime. The Ford technician strongly encouraged me to replace the transmission after his the dealership inspected the vehicle and were able to replicate the problem. This was an out of pocket expense. Ford has detailed this failure in Technical Service Bulletin 25-2023 which states Harsh engagement Delayed engagement Harsh shift Delayed shift

Cam chaser still rattles when starting even after recall was fixed. Getting worse with every drive.
