2017 Ford Expedition Problems, complaints & recalls

While driving my 2017 Ford Expedition Limited 4WD at approximately 45 mph, the speedometer suddenly dropped to 0 mph even though the vehicle was still moving. At the same time, the wrench warning light illuminated, and the transmission became stuck in third gear. The transmission would no longer shift normally, including when slowing down and accelerating again. I was able to safely pull over, shut off the engine, and restart the vehicle. After restarting, the speedometer and transmission returned to normal...

I smelled something burning in my vehicle and then after that my air conditioner stopped working and it turned out to be the blower motor that was replaced in December of 2023

Vehicle is experiencing brake degradation matching safety recall 25S37/22S11. Dealership states the vehicle is unsafe but refuses to provide a loaner car. Ford Customer Support escalated the parts order but explicitly denied interim rental assistance, leaving me with no safe transportation options

My camera only works for a couple of seconds and not always, plus the screen turns blue or black

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition.

Our 2017 Ford Expedition, has been diagnosed with a failure involving the molded lead frame/transmission sensor assembly in its 6R80 transmission. We were advised that the failure can cause the transmission to unexpectedly downshift at highway speed, resulting in sudden deceleration and possible loss of control. Ford has recalled 2015-2017 F-150 vehicles equipped with the 6R80 for a substantially similar unintended-downshift condition, but Ford states that our Expedition is not included and has declined financial...

I am filing this complaint regarding the repair of Recall 25S89 / NHTSA Recall 25V572 on my 2017 Ford Expedition EL 4WD (VIN: [[redacted]]). I received Ford's recall notice in April 2026 and brought my vehicle to the dealership on June 8, 2026. Before the repair, the rearview camera functioned intermittently. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle and informed me that the wiring tested properly, voltage was present, and the recall applied because the rearview camera had failed inspection. They determined the camera...

I am reporting a severe, systemic manufacturing defect in the 3.5L EcoBoost engine timing system (cam phasers and timing chain) of my 2017 Ford Expedition that poses an immediate highway safety hazard. Approximately February 2026 Upon start up heard odd rattle type noise, a week later heard noise again thought maybe due to recent Ford Dealership changing engine belts. Searched websites discovered notable issues regarding serious known manufacturing defect, cam phasers, timing chain, water pump. Followed Ford...

Vehicle suddenly shifts to 1st gear while travelling at 45MPH or more causing immediate jerking and slowing of vehicle, placing driver, occupants and other drivers at risk of crash. In this condition, the speedometer reads 0MPH while still travelling and other warnings on dash are: Airbag Failure, Blindspot system fault, Cross traffic system fault, and See manual. Vehicle then appears stuck in 3rd gear until pulling over, stopping the engine and restarting. All warnings clear after restarting. This has occurred...

The car would flash warning light failure on blind spot, engine and felt like would shift out of gear dropping speed and then speedometer would drop to zero. Very scary when driving. Occurred at multiple speeds; 3 times before took to get evaluated /fixed. Mechanic said had 3 other vehicles like mine pst month same issue. Recommended make complaint because with him seeing that many might become a recall:

I was made aware of recall last fall. Dealer looked at the vehicle, confirmed diagnosis and stated that there was no fix for the problem. Last month I was contacted by the dealer to have the recall repair completed. I scheduled appointment and brought the car in only to have them tell me that despite back up camera having the issues that they are not able to perform the recall because ford will not let them unless there are faults registers in the computer which I can't see cause you need a proprietary reader for...

vehicle unknowingly loses power and shuts off while driving. A wrench appears on dash with check manual message.

There has been a rear view camera recall on my 2017 expedition for some time now amd ford still states there is no solution at this time, almost 10 years later

I was in a head on collision and my airbags did not deploy. Also when I looked at my seat belt after the crash it was fully extended out and did not retract.

Sudden and severe downshifts occurred at roadway and highway speeds resulting in sudden speed decrease. Also revving and loss of power occurred. Problem codes P0706 & P0707 were logged which point directly to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS), which is integrated into the molded lead frame. This sudden and uncontrolled loss of speed caused significant danger to vehicles, ocupants, and other vehicles.

As is the same with the Ford F-150 recall for the transmission downshift issue my Ford Expedition has that same problem I sent an email into your website and hopefully it will be addressed because it is the exact same thing. When I accelerate to access an on-ramp at the highway or if I try to pass somebody on the highway and accelerate the transmission downshifts and almost causes me to lose control. It down shifts very abruptly and hard and sounds like it's going to yank my transmission out.

My back up camera is the issue. There is an open recall that it has been over 6 months with no resolution communicated. The camera was fuzzy or intermittently working for the last several years, however, The screen is now blue or says camera unavailable for 2ish weeks.

While driving down the road 70 MPH the transmission suddenly downshifting from 6th gear to a much lower gear causing the rear wheels to briefly lock up causing a skid safety issue... at the same time, the speedometer dial swings downward to the left like a sudden deceleration, then seems to catch up and return back to normal driving if you will Here is the Ford case number: [[redacted]] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2017 Ford Expedition is currently at an authorized dealership (Arlington Heights Ford, IL) for a failed transmission lead frame (DTCs P0706, P0707, P1702), which causes intermittent loss of gear engagement and sudden shift issues. This specific part is subject to NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26001. Ford is refusing to honor the 10-year/150000-mile extended coverage (Program 19N01 Supplement 4) and a separate safety recall (25S37 for Brake master Cylinder) because the Vehicle was originally manufactured for...

While towing our RV trailer, we received a wrench light and the vehicle when into limp mode. When we tried to slow down and take the next exit on the interstate, the transmission tried to shift from 6th gear to 1st gear, causing the rear tires to screech and slow the vehicle dramatically. This could have caused a rear collision due to the abrupt slowing of the vehicle. The problem could only be reproduced when towing a trailer for an hour or more, so the problem was not reproduced by a mechanic or service center. No one else has inspected the vehicle. The only warning light was the wrench light on the dash. There was a code stored when checked: P0735.
