2012 Ford Expedition Engine Problems

“The 2012 Expedition has prior recalls for transmission issues. I purchased mine 3 months ago and am now being told I will have to have the entire transmission replaced to the tune of $6,000 but yet my VIN# is not part of the recall list.”

“While driving especially on the highway there is a downshift in the gears and the instrument panel goes blank I then pull over to the side of the highway turn of the engine and then start up again and every thing is back to normal. On 1/22/17 it was really bad as the same happened and I tried to pick up speed but nothing happened I had to put on my flashers and easy over to the embankment. On 10/05/16 I took the vehicle back for power train control module to the dealership but as far as I am concerned the problem still exist. …”

“Car was driving fine and then it stopped accelerating, wouldn't change gears or go over 20mph. We brought it to our local repair shop who thought it was the timing chain. We then had it towed to the Ford dealer (koons in falls church, va) they said that it is a problem with low oil pressure and the engine has been affected. They gave us an estimate of $11,000 to repair (needs a new engine). The car only has 89,000 miles and has been perfectly maintained. I can only assume that a car this young that has been property maintained has some kind of manufacturing defect.”

“While driving my 2012 Expedition 45 - 60 MPH, the vehicle downshifted without warning and stalled more than once and jerked repeatedly. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership twice for the same occurence listed on the recall notification. The dealer claims they fixed the problem by installing the new software again. The issue occured again while driving home with my family in the vehicle on the highway where the acceleration dropped down to first and the rear tire locked up. We all thought we were about to die with the traffic coming behind us. …”

“Vehicle accelerated unintended and unexpected. Speed was uncontrollable. Driver avoided to the best of his abilities standing workers and unintentionally hit two other vehicles and workers inside those vehicles. 6 injured taken by ambulance two critically hurt!”
