What Owners Say
""Transmission failed going up a steep highway mountain hill. Ford Dealer re-built it but the slipping started happening again after another 3ooo miles. Then Ford dealer rep told me Ford had finally come out with the right fix for this massive issue. I waited two months, then they re-built the transmission again. This time hopefully was the last time.""
Anonymous, CO (2019 Ford Expedition XLT 3.5-L V6 turbo)"my wife noticed that it was shifting roughly, upon inspection Ford told us it needed a full rebuild. When we got it back I heard a hum, which sounded like a power steering pump that had low fluid. I took it back to Ford and they heard the same thing, so they told me that Ford HQ told them which tests to run to find out which part of the trans was effected. All of sudden they changed their stance and told us the the problem was caused by the wheel bearings. This is where the humming is coming from. Oddly, there was no hum before we gave it to them. They told us this was probably caused by someone hitting something hard in the road and caused the humming. Again, there wasn't any humming coming from the vehicle prior to giving the vehicle to Ford for troubleshooting. I believe Ford is lying."
Anonymous, TX (2019 Ford Expedition Limited 3.5-L V6 turbo)""Transmission started shifting roughly, fluid was low so got serviced, got worse, diagnosed as CDF drum failure - known Ford transmission problem. Needs transmission replaced to fix.""
Anonymous A., WA (2019 Ford Expedition Limited 3.5-L V6 turbo)""Last October the transmission was rebuilt for the second time by ford at no charge to me. I have the 10R80 transmission, both times the work was done after my complaints, not because of any recall. This year Ford did recall my 2019 Expedition to reprogram the computer that controls the transmission. This seems to have greatly improved the shifting problems.""
Anonymous, CA (2019 Ford Expedition Unsure 3.5-L V6 turbo)"The ten speed transmission has a design flaw that is seen Ford and General Motors vehicles that use this transmission. The replacement parts were back ordered. The particular part that required replacement was only accessible during a transmission tear down. The dealership wanted $9000 to repair it; we used a local transmission shop that charged $6000."
Anonymous, SC (2019 Ford Expedition MAX 3.5-L V6 turbo)"The pre-2022 10 speed transmissions are crap and Ford knows it. They go out regularly and many times people get 2 or more replacements. They refuse to help owners."
