2012 Ford Expedition Engine problems

Our 2012 Ford Expedition, approximately 66,000 miles was purchased from the KEN GROODY FORD dealership on December 30, 2025. The vehicle has a failed molded lead frame in the 6R80 transmission, the output shaft speed sensor. This is a known factory problem on 2011-2012 vehicles build at the Kentucky Truck Plant. There was a Customer Satisfaction Program 16NO@/19N01 extending the overage to 10 years/150,000 miles and related Safety Recall 16S19. The failure can cause a sudden unintended downshift into first gear...

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 30 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted, causing the occupants to lunge forward. The tires squealed and the wheels locked up. The vehicle was turned off but failed to restart. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V248000 (Power Train). A tow truck company was contacted, and was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The local...

Campaign 19N01 Description Transmission molded leadframe extended coverage Next Steps Contact your dealer for next steps. Did this and was told that the vehicle was not covered due to it being after 10 years and barely over 150,000 miles. I am experiencing transmission issues where the torque converter clutch is now stuck on and the lead frame is more than likely the cause. Thanks FORD, NEVER AGAIN.

I was driving regularly down the road when I noticed the smell of electrical fire. Smoke started coming from the undercarriage of the truck. I pulled into a gas station, and the engine died, and I got out to look at what's causing the smoke. I observed what looked to be engine or transmission oil on fire dripping from the undercarriage, so I moved a safe distance from the vehicle, and within about 30 seconds, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. The fire department came, and extinguished the fire. The vehicle is 100% casualty, along with everything inside of it.

Identical to numerous other registered complaints (june 4, 2018 nhtsa id number: 11099593, september 26, 2018 nhtsa id number: 11131784, june 14, 2018 nhtsa id number: 11101913, april 9, 2018 nhtsa id number: 11084000, august 8, 2016 nhtsa id number: 10894005): sudden deceleration with gauges flashing - wrench light on, miles to zero with no numbers, speedometer fails. At the same time, the car begins bucking with sudden acceleration and deceleration, but ultimately the vehicle is losing power and acceleration is...

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford expedition. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off and the speedometer gauge went to zero. The contact stated that the vehicle had to be coasted to the side of the road and would restart occasionally.

Cam phaser issue resulting in heated/cracked manifold, melting into piston 4, disabling engine. Requires full engine replacement at $6k parts & labor.

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. As a matter of fact this has happened quite a few times since october. *Tr

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...

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! *Tr
