2007 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2007 EXPEDITION IN OCT. 06 AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I FELT A KICK AFTERWARDS. SLOWLY IT PROGRESSED TO A HARDER PUSH, WHERE IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN OCTOBER 07 AND THEY HAD ORDERS FROM FORD TO RECALIBRATE THE TRANSMISSION FOR NOW UNTIL THEY FOUND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IN MID-NOVEMBER. THE RECALIBRATION WORKED FOR 1 WEEK AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. AGAIN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE A FIX YET. I NEED THIS FIX . *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS IN THE LAST MONTH, THE VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK AND THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE ON ITS OWN ROLLED BACKWARDS AT LEAST 20 FEET. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2006, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED SLUGGISH AT STOPS WHEN ACCELERATING, I HAVE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP THREE OR MORE TIMES AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL SLUGGISH WHEN MOVING FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT BACK TO A DEALER AND FORD SERVICE SAID THAT A MEMO SAID NOT TO WORK ON MY TRANSMISSION UNTIL THE UPDATE FOR SOFTWARE IS ISSUED SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER. THIS IS AT LEAST A MONTH AWAY AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY TO DRIVE IN. I HAVE A FORD REP WHO WE ASKED TO SUPPLY US WITH A RENTAL CAR AND THEY ARE SAYING WE CAN RENT A CAR AND THEY WILL REVIEW IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIXED AND DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO BE TREATED THIS WAY BY SUCH A HUGE CORPORATION. *TR
