“On christmas eve 2019 I left church service at 8:30 p.m. My 3 small boys and I had been in our 2013 Ford Expedition el about 10 minutes. It was 28 degrees out. We had just passed through a small town and were on a highway by ourselves when I thought I heard a scratchy speaker and turned my radio down. Within a minute there was a loud explosion. I was driving between 50 and 55 MPH driving straight forward on a smooth highway. One of my sons screamed and asked if we blew a tire which I quickly ruled out because air pressure signals were fine and no pulling on my wheel. …”

“This vehicle is having a known transmission issue. At least 6 other vehicles are waiting on a part that is on back order with Ford currently. This issue causes your truck to feel as if it shifts into neutral or park while driving through traffic! It is very dangerous and scary for all in the vehicle! Our vehicle is at one Ford dealer waiting to be transferred to another because of poor customer service.”
