NHTSA Complaint #11102274 — 2015 FORD EXPEDITION

WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE OF MY 2015 FORD EXPEDITION BEGAN TO LABOR, EVIDENCED BY LOW AND HESITATING RPM AND REDUCED FAN SPEED OF THE AIR-CONDITIONER. ISSUE WAS RESOLVED WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS SHUT OFF, BUT HAS REAPPEARED SEVERAL TIMES AS A RESULT OF TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER RECENT MODEL FORD EXPLORER AND EXPEDITION OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING IN THEIR VEHICLES. THIS POSES A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC AS THE CAR'S ENGINE HESITATES AND NEARLY STALLS REDUCING REQUIRED ON-DEMAND POWER AND ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY AND IDLING AND ALSO WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (0 - 55 MPH) ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. WAS SURE I'D FIND A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE (MOST LIKELY A VEHICLE COMPUTER ISSUE) ON THIS SITE, BUT NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR 2015 FORD EXPEDITIONS EXIST.
