NHTSA Complaint #10360333 — 2005 FORD EXPEDITION

2005 FORD EXPEDITION, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM .WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE O/D OFF LIGHT CAME ON. THEN LATER ON , THE CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE POSITION . THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LIMP HOME MODE. UNSAFE'WHEN I DID INVESTIGATE ,I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SPOT WHERE IT WAS LEAKING FROM WAS NEAR THE RADIATOR, THE TRANSMISSION LINES TO AND FROM THE RADIATOR AND THE EXTERNAL TRANS COOLER AND TRANSMISSION WERE CORRODED. MY REPAIR SHOP TRIED TO OBTAIN AFTERMARKET ONLY TO FIND THEY HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED FROM FORD. WHILE DOING THAT ,FORD INFORMED HIM, THEY HAD SOME 15 KITS COMING IN, HOWEVER THEY WERE ALL ACCOUNTED FOR AND THE NEXT SET WOULD BE IN ANOTHER MONTH. APPARENTLY THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY. AND DEFINITELY UNSAFE.. *TR
