1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2018 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 04/20/2020
Upon startup, the dashboard monitor will not light up and the transmission will not go into gear. This includes no backup cameras, radio, mapping feature, or hands free bluetooth on the monitor, while the dashboard (directly in front of the steering wheel area) flashes on/off that «transmission not in park», or «oil needs to be changed», yet the transmission is stuck in park. After trying several times to manually put the car into «drive» it will finally start moving forward with a grinding sound, before coming to an abrupt stop. This sequence occurs several times, until I turn the car off and try again. It sometimes takes 4-5 attempts over 5-10 minutes to get the car moving with all items working properly. It seems electrical, since it always involves both the dash monitor and the transmission at the same time.
2 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2007 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 06/19/2019
When you drive the vehicle and come to a stop, (intersection) the vehicle will go into neutral while it’s in drive and upon pressing the accelerator pedal, it enters a safety type mode with no indication and will remain in gear zero for approximately 1-2 seconds and then as it starts moving, it does so with very little power leaving the vehicle in danger of getting struck by another vehicle from cross traffic. At this time, I have no idea what is causing this issue but it seems to be common via the internet complaints on the 6r80 transmissions on Ford vehicles. This has happened to me 4 times while trying to cross multi lane highways but the most recently came very close to what could have ended into a multiple fatal accident with a semi truck who was barely able to stop in time before I was able to cross a 3 lane highway. I have been able to have the vehicle go back to normal by simply shutting off the vehicle and restarting it. What makes this really dangerous, is the driver such as me being unaware that my vehicle is in a safety restricted power output when this happens. No warning until you commit into a deadly situation. People report this issue on the internet as the vehicle going into neutral by itself when coming to a stop. When they try to resume driving the vehicle rpms will increase and the vehicle might or might not pop into gear softly or forcefully. Sometimes with full acceleration authority and sometimes with a max attainable speed of 5 mph or less depending on the gradient and terrain until you can reach a safe spot and restart the vehicle.

4 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2011 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 12/12/2018
On December 12, 2017, while traveling at 75 mph on the interstate with the cruise control set, the vehicle surged forward. Within seconds following the surge, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted causing loss of control and nearly a roll over accident. The vehicle would not move in any gear. Turning the vehicle off and on 2 times allowed the vehicle to move again. The dealer replaced the control module in the transmission as a result. My cost was $100 since we still have an active warranty.

6 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 1998 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 07/20/2011
Years ago when purchased the Expedition I noticed the shift gear out of alignment. I try to contact the dealer as I heard that this was a recall; I was told that the recall is not for my vehicle. It has know been a few years since I bought the truck and I’m now experiencing what I’ve noticed many others with an Expedition which is truck is not engaging into parking position and rolls. This is a concern to me as my drive way is on a slight up hill. This is an endangering to the public, the issue happens unexpectedly. I would not like to see someone hurt because of a roll back or forward due to what is supposed to be a manufacture defect from the many cases I’ve read up on so far. Ford dealer needs to address this issue as well as the coil and spark plug which blows out of engine and air suspension problems. This vehicle has cost me thousands in repair,its not worth and can not afford the present repairs.

9 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2007 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 08/21/2008
We have a 2007 Ford Expedition with a remote electric start installed in the truck. When you remote start the vehicle then get into the vehicle with the keys out of the ignition you are able to put your foot on the brake pedal and move the gear shift to any position. . . . . . . . . . . This has been witnessed by the Ford dealer who was shocked, but has told me its working the way it was designed. . . . . . . . . . . If you test this. remote start the vehicle then sit in the drivers seat, put your foot on the pedal and move the shifter. The car will shut off as its suppose to and once the engine dies the shifter will not move. Its just for the split of 3 to 10 seconds it takes for the engine to stop that shifter is free to move . . . . . . . . . . If a child is to enter the vehicle and put their foot on the pedal they will have that amount of time to move the shifter and once you move the shifter that car is free to roll at anytime and the shifter can still move . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The problem as I see it. If I remote start the vehicle and a child climbs into the vehicle and pretends to drive puts his foot on the brake and moves the shifter, the car is going to roll and it never had the keys in the ignition. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I park on a hill and this good easily kill someone if the vehicle rolls. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The fix would be not allow the gear shift to move out of park with out the keys in the ignition. I was advised by Ford not to remote start my vehicle with the doors unlocked and thats fine for me, but for the rest of the drivers of these trucks who knows. I have been told this must have been missed by Ford. The ignition needs to see the key before it releases the shifter. Just my thoughts. Thank you.
10 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2002 Ford Expedition
Datum selhání: 05/15/2003
Vehicle was bought used @ 27000 and brought back the day following purchase with the transmission troubles. This vehicle is and was under manufacturers warranty. Ford should have some liability regardless if this was purchased used or not since it is so low mileage and the year make of it and it is under the manufacturers warranty. Transmission slipping and not staying in gear. Returned to dealer and they replaced a sensor saying there was ‘no response’ from the sensor and it was ruled as ‘bad’. Again in July the vehicle was returned because it was still slipping, smelled of burning rubber. . . Transmission was then rebuilt by the dealer as it had a lot of issues once they opened up the trans. Now here less than 4 weeks after that last repair which was the second in less than two months. Transmission is slipping and not changing gears properly. Took this vehicle on a longer duration trip than usual along with high freeway speeds. Once the vehicle gets near 70 mph the trans sticks and the vehicle loses acceleration. The trans trouble I am having with this Expedition is ridiculous.
