I experienced the same problem you are investigating in F-150’s: I was traveling on the highway at 75 miles per hour on cruise control - there was a really loud thunk and the Expedition unexpectedly downshifted to a lower gear, I hadn’t touched anything and there was no warning. It was really scary and has made me doubt the safety of this Expedition.

Warped exhaust manifold leaking exhaust into main cabin, broken studs on engine block. Thousands of incidents of reported online.

I was driving at ~40 mph and the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. The wrench dash light came on. The car was forced into limp mode. The p2112 code showed on my OBD scanner. The code indicates a throttle body actuator stuck closed. The car started to run very rough, was stuck in 2nd gear and would only do 5 mph. Upon turning off and restarting vehicle the wrench light turned off and the throttle response was normal. I will have to replace the throttle body at my expense as the car is past warranty. I will keep the part for inspection. The road was relatively empty so it did not cause an accident. In heavy traffic at highway speeds this might have caused an injury wreck. The sudden deceleration without any brake lights could easily result in a rear end collision. If the deceleration happened in the middle of an intersection, a side impact or offset front collision could be the result. I have multiple scan tools and am quite proficient at using them. I also have access to the ford service manuals for my vehicle. No one has inspected the part. The vehicle had no warning lamps prior to incident. The wrench light came on at the same time the car suddenly decelerated.

2016 Ford Expedition with 55k miles. Engine blown, hole in side of block. Mechanic has said Ford is backordered 6 months for engines, with 400 in backorder in my region alone. Clearly there is an engine flaw and this engine needs to be recalled.

THIS IS THE 3 RD TIME THE WRENCH TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR LOSSES ALL POWER AND CAN ONLY IDLE ( ROUGHLY ). SHUT ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND CAR STARTS UP AND GOES JUST FINE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NO CODE IS STORED. NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY A THROTTLE BODY BUT SINCE NO CODE THEY CAN'T REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO I JUST WENT AND BOUGHT A THROTTLE BODY FOR $ 225.00 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF . LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS . DATE INSTALLED 1/22/2019

THE " WRENCH " WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED . LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE.

THE CAR LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY, WERE YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR

WHILE DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER TO ACCELERATE. THE YELLOW CHECK ENGINE WRENCH COMES ON AS THE ENGINE SPUTTERS. YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO COAST TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS COMES WITH NO WARNING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AS WE WERE GOING 40 MPH AND JUST LOST EVERYTHING IN A MOMENTS NOTICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 3 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE GOING 35 MPH ACCELERATING AND SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC TO RESTART. WE HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. BUT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE ON SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES WITH A RECALL ON MANY, JUST NOT THIS ONE YET. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS COMPLETED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT TURN OUT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUES WITH FORD CARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. LOSING CONTROL OF ACCELERATION CAN BE DEADLY DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED UP AGAIN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.

SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE VEHICLE WHENEVER REAR WING WINDOWS ARE OPEN; GENERALLY OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION OR IDLING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE VEHICLE PURCHASE IN AUGUST 2016.
