The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air conditioning blower motor occasionally failed to operate as needed. On other occasions, the blower motor randomly turned off and on while driving over bumps in the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the blower motor and blower motor wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were contacted regarding the failure and a service appointment was scheduled. The contact was concerned that the NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V648000 (Visibility, Electrical System) repair included the replacement of the blower motor but did not include the repair of the faulty wiring harness. The failure mileage was 84,000.

While travelling on highway uphill around 60 mph in heavy traffic, vehicle lost all power and went to idle. I had to maneuver 3 lanes to reach shoulder. Wrench icon showed on dash. Restarted engine and code cleared and had power again. It happened 4 more times over next 2 months then gave P2112 code. Research showed to replace throttle body which I did. Now doing some watchful waiting to see if it reoccurs. I believe this is a safety gap that requires a recall and a redesign of the logic to prevent the disabling the power train all the way back to idle.
On May 15, 2023, our 2017 Ford Expedition rolled while in Park and unattended. It had been parked for approx. 2-1/2 hours before rolling down our inclined driveway. It collided with our granite mailbox post, snapping it off. Thankfully, no one was hurt, however, the vehicle suffered significant damage.
