1999 Ford Expedition Power Train

CONSUMER STATES WHILE CAR IN PARK AND KEYS OUT OF IGNITION A 4 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS ABLE TO PULL THE SHIFTER DOWN TO LOW GEAR CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ROLL BACK. NLM

AGAIN, I AM NOT HAVING TO INSTALL ANOTHER TORQUE CONVERTER TOMORROW. MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT TO YOU WAS FOR THE FIRST TORQUE CONVERTER INSTALLED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT HAS ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS CAR. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME KIND OF FEEDBACK OR INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE THAT CAN INFORM ME OF MY OPTIONS ON SEEING THAT FORD IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS NO TRADE-IN VALUE( WORD IS OUT ON THESE CARS) AND CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT A DESCENT TRADE-IN. I AM STUCK WITH THIS FORD LEMON....CAN YOU NOT CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL AND AT LEAST LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED MY COMPLAINT? I WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT AND I WOULD DO IT FOR YOU. NO ONE DESERVES THIS TROUBLE AND NO DESERVES TO LOSE THE TIME AND MONEY I HAVE INVESTED IN THIS AUTOMOBILE. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE IT IS NOT ENGAGING. YOU MUST USE THE ACCELERATOR TO GO ANYWHERE AND THEN THE FRONT END FEELS AS IF IT IS STUCK ON SOMETHING AND REVERSES EXTREMELY HARD AND MAKES A VERY LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THEM AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURED THIS LAST TIME.*AK

DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO A LOW GEAR BY ITSELF. CONSUMER HAS ALMOST LOST CONTROL.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING, ABLE TO GO THROUGH ALL GEARS, VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT. NOT ABLE TO START IN DRIVE, AND UNABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO START. DEALER REPLACED LINKAGE CABLE. *AK THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT GO TO PARK POSITION. *YH

WHILE STANDING OR DRIVING 4- WHEEL DRIVE HIGH WILL SHIFT INTO 4- WHEEL DRIVE LOW OR 2- WHEEL DRIVE INTO 4- WHEEL DRIVE LOW . DLR CANNOT DETERMINE CAUSE.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES, DEALER CLAIMS THAT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RELPLACED WITH NEW TRANSMISSION. DEALER REFUSES TO RETURN PHONE CALLS OR TALK TO ME CONCERNING THE VEHICLE. *AK

REAR DRIVESHAFT REPLACED. *SLC

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING AND STILL NOT FIXED. THANK GOD MY TIRES HAVE NOT BLOWN OUT. *AK

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY DEALER THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE RPLACED. *AK

BOUGHT NEW CAR 8/11/99. ON 9/27/99 AT 2, 284 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS PROPERLY AND WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. FORD REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT FAILED IMMEDIATELY. THEY REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS FINALLY READY FOR US TO PICK UP ON 10/15/99. THREE MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK IMMEDIATELY. FORD REPLACED IT AGAIN AND WE GOT OUR CAR BACK ON 10/28/99. ON 8/7/00 WE BROUGHT OUR CAR BACK TO FORD AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD WHILE STOPPED, LOOSE POWER OR STALL WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. TOOK IT TO FORD AGAIN. REPLACED TRANSMISSION AGAIN. VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE FOR A TOTAL OF 36 DAYS IN ONE YEAR AND HAD 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT VEHICLE. NO REASONABLE OR SAFE REASON TO DRIVE - UNSAFE.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS AND SLOWS DOWN. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE, AND COULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER BEING FIXED. YH

STOPPED TO 30 MPH NOISE THAT IS SAID TO BE NORMAL. SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS SLIPPING IN TRASMISSION OR IN THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION LOST SHIFTING POWER. THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WAS HARD GETTING VEHICLE TO RESTART. FINALLY STOPPED WORKING. TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE PROBLEM OF LOST SHIFTING POWER WAS NOT RESOLVED. *AK

AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 90, THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER DID AN UNCOMMANDED TRANSITION FROM AUTOMATIC-4-DRIVE TO 4-WHEEL-LOW. DRIVER MANAGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND AVOID A CRASH AT LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 11PM UNDER VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC CONDITONS. NO INDICATION OF WHY WAS FOUND BY THE DEALER ALTHOUGH THE COMPUTER CODES VERIFIED THE SHIFT TRANSITION. DEALER INDICATED THAT SOME CORROSION WAS FOUND ON THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER CONTACTS AND IT WAS REPLACED. AT THE PRESENT TIME, DEALER MAINTAINS THAT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE OR DRIVETRAIN ALTHOUGH LOUD BANGS AND METAL GRINDING SOUNDS WERE HEARD WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE ENGINE ALSO INDICATED MOMENTARY REDLINING. THE EXPLAINATION OF "CORRISION" STILL INDICATES A SERIOUS CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN FLAW WHEREBY AN UNCOMMANDED OPERATION ON THE UNIT OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN FORCE THE TRANSITION FROM AUTOMATIC-4-WHEEL TO 4-WHEEL-LOW AT CRUISING SPEEDS. *AK

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER STATES IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. *AK
