Original review: March 28, 2016 I have a 2010 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer. Your Expedition should be running when you check your transmission fluid level, otherwise the transmission fluid level on the transmission fluid dipstick will not be accurate. If i smash the throttle it will shift into passing gear and go fine. It's our responsibility as well to keep on top of things especially maintenance! It turns out that when the chain broke while starting the vehicle it cause major damage to the engine due to it being a 5. I don't see how fluid issues would be causing what you described.
Then they wanted me to speak to a manager who wanted to put me in a 2001 Expedition and finance the vehicle for 36 months. Now, my Ford Expedition 2004 has over 130,000 miles on it, and no major repairs at all. The current mileage was 11,283 and failure mileage was approximately 8,000. It was driving poorly-making loud noises and sticking as I pressed the gas pedal as if the transmission was going out. I slowed back on the accelerator and light went off and power slowly came back. I would like to switch out the 5. As soon as I let off the brake, the vehicle rolled about another foot before stopping itself.
While making a turn at 15 mph, the seats rattled. Only had it for 5 months, did all required maintenance on the vehicle. I will never purchase another Ford in my life. How could I go about diagnosing what is wrong? When I bought it used I got the carfax and service records and it appeared to be well taken care of. The owner noted there was no one around the vehicle.
The combination of these symptoms make me think it is the ignition cutting out, which makes it seam like slipping. Guy takes it to road test, and after being gone for 10 minutes comes back walking. It also shows that its in neutrual when its actually still in drive. The problem would also go away sometimes. It feels as if I am landing a plane when I come to a stop with all the shaknig an rattling. Well, it took them 6 days to respond! The other 2 ran great until the time I traded them in.
I have had the truck for 15K, so not sure if the trans has ever been serviced. The resistance value of the transmission liquid temperature sensor will vary with temperatures change. He put in some fluid and it started up without the blinking light, and sounds better, but is definitely still hesitating and not driving correctly. The gentleman that helped me can attest that when he went to back the car up - the car was in park and he had to physically put it in reverse to move it. The torque converter clutch disengages when the brakes are applied. I expected a lot more from a well maintained Ford motor! I have spent so much money on this piece of crap that I'm ready to drop the money to fix it and sell it to some other unsuspecting person.
The car was in park on the flat part of my driveway when I stepped into the garage for less than 10 seconds. Unfortunately, I cannot control my windows or door locks. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions and they reset the rpm's. Transmission seems to go into neutral after 2nd gear when overdrive is on and won't go above 25-30 mph. The car was in reverse when the owner got back into the car. She will soon need some instrument panel repairs but that is all.
But yet Ford keep enjoying those millions in bailout funds. Ford stated that there was nothing they could do. The consumer checked the vehicle, and the fire smoldered itself out. No power during 1st and 2nd gear change. At 129,000 miles I started to hear a little ticking and felt that the engine was missing. Vehicle was using Cruise Control. Something is now going on with the breaks as well, they hiss from the break pedal area even after removing pressure.
The engine light comes on some of the time in conjunction. The Manual Says We The Scheduled Maintenance Is 100,000 Miles And We Are Only At 76,000. These problems are expensive to fix and basically it is embarrassing that such an expensive vehicle has so many engineered design issues and basically lacking quality control. Then the large plate that covers the entire valve body is installed. Turned vehicle off for a few minutes and then turned back on. I'm going to go sit across the street from their shop and watch if they pull the same trick on other people! Most manuals like Chilton won't help you with a diagnosis.
To accomplish this, the powertrain control module uses six output solenoids to control transmission operation. So I keep checking my phone. At the 100,000 mile point the dealer replaced the spark plugs, wires, did the engine flush and all the required maintenance. My wife and I have hit several parked cars when trying to negotiate the vehilce into a parking space. Says it stopped and wouldn't go forward anymore, and he drove it back as far as he could in reverse, but didn't want to take it on a busy road in reverse.
I think Ford is milking its customers with faulty parts as I had the same issue with my brakes. The vast inventory on eBay lets you browse a wide array of Ford Expedition transmission parts to get your vehicle cooperating again. Regardless, both issues should have set the check engine light. These solenoids and transmission fluid temperature sensor are housed in the transmission solenoid body assembly. Said It Was A Computer Module, Changed It, Picked Vehicle Up And Not 2 Miles Down The Road The Same Thing Happened Again. Trans fluid was not low and looks very clean. Took it to the mechanic, and he claimed to take it to Ford because there was a major engine issue that they needed to address.
