100306-105660 MILES VEHICLE PURCHASED USED -FORD 2014 EXPEDITION WOULD STALL OCCASIONALLY AND DOWNSHIFT WHILE ON HIGHWAY AND GOT WORSE. 5 MECHANICS (ONE WAS FORD DEALERSHIP), $3000.00 OF GUESSING AND REPLACING PARTS (FUEL PUMP& FILTER, THROTTLE BODY), ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN TO 10-20 MPH, NO CODES, 10 WEEKS OF IN & OUT OF REPAIR SHOPS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND PROBLEM. FINALLY GOT BAD ENOUGH LAST MECHANIC GOT CODE OF LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR WITH DECODER PLUGGED UNDER DASH DURING TEST DRIVE. RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN OR MODEL. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THEY SHOULD REDESIGN THIS PART AND PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS DONE TO VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHERE REPAIRS DONE, YEAR OR MILEAGE AND HOW MANY TIMES THIS OCCURS UNTIL THE PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED AS NO CODES APPEAR IN DASH OR FULL VEHICLE SCANS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS CLOSE AND SECURE. THE DOOR LATCH SOMETIMES STAYS IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. UNSAFE AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR UNSECURED.ALSO THE SHIFTING LEVER WILL OCCASIONALLY STICK IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE. UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK ON SIDE OF ROAD OR HIGHWAY YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK WHEN CLEAR TO DO SO. DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN MOTION WAS TO DRIVE WITH DRIVERS DOOR NOT SECURED.

SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2011 TO 2013 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS THAT A PREVIOUS RECALL DEALT WITH. WHILE DRIVING THE EXPIDITION DOWNSHIFTED BY ITSELF CAUSING TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED. MY VEHICLE IS MADE AT THE SAME PLANT AND THE RECALL GOES TO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED TO 4/13 MINE WAS 8/13. WHICH MAKES IT A NEW MODEL YEAR 2014. THE PREVIOUS RECALL WAS 2011 TO 12. THE LATER ADDED 2013 MODELS. THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO ADDING 2014 OR LATER TO THIS LIST SINCE IT IS HAPPENING TO THIS MODEL AS WELL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY EXPEDITION. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED UP AND DOWN WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IT JUMP AND SURGES AT LOWER SPEEDS. BUT SHUTTING IT OFF SEEMS TO RESET IT FOR A SHORT WHILE BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK.
