This 2005 expedition has only 15k miles the transmission was slipping really hard I had to drive it to the dealer in gear 2. Once I arrived they told me it would take two weeks for them just to even look at it(only one trans tech) I called and found a dealer who could fix it faster. I tried to call ford corp to see if they would tow my SUV 30-40 miles, but they told me they don't do dealer to dealer tows. I will never buy a ford again, thank you for helping a customer im only 28 years old and this is my 5th and last ford vehicle.
2005 Ford Expedition transmission complaints

George newcomb landers mclarty 2609 south walton bentonville, ar 72712 I purchased a 2005 expedition from you a few weeks ago. On 11-23-05 I brought it over to have some defects repaired. Defects that were to be fixed. Transmission. When stopped on a hill if you remove your foot from the brake the vehicle will roll out of control. This happens if you are stopped with the vehicle in reverse going down a hill of in drive going up a hill. The transmission will shift at odd times as you are driving. Rear passenger dome light flickers when you turn in on with the switch in the back. Right turn signal flashes very fast. Tires are very bad out of balance. Driver door does not latch unless it is shut hard. I told jesse that they had to be done by 5:00 pm. After keeping the vehicle all day nothing was fixed. During my visit in your office on 12-9-05 you assured me that the transmission would be replaced. You also stated that ford was aware of the bad tires and would replace them now that I had complained. In addition to the above the following new defects have been found. Turn signals will sometimes not work at all. When making a sharp turn the rear end will slip. You can fill it not holding the road. Outside fumes are sucked into the vehicle. Any smell or exhaust from this or other vehicles is pulled inside. The leather on the front seats has turned black. The transmission, rear end problem and tires are all major safety problems. These must be fixed. I feel that having my wife drive a vehicle with these problems is putting her in danger. The turn signals and light problem are possible fire hazards. The uncontrolled air intake is a problem that could cause people inside the vehicle to be gassed by a passing vehicle. My wife has very bad allergies when these smells are pulled into the vehicle she has trouble breathing. I have never owned anything made from leather that has changed colors.
The transmission would stall and not go forward in the drive gear. Stalled in the middle of an intersection with the family in the expedition. Had to drive home in second and first gear. Vehicle is 27 days old with 952 miles purchased at billinglsey ford in lawton, ok 73501.
Dt: the car was sitting and running for more than 10 minutes near a building. The car was in park. The owner was unloading the vehicle, and then walked back into the building. The owner heard a boom, and came outside and saw that the car hit a fan, and almost hit the barn. The car was in reverse when the owner got back into the car. The owner put it back in park and shut vehicle off. The car was inspected, and was determined that they couldn't duplicate the incident. The owner has not called the manufacturer. The vehicle had minimal damage. There was property damage to the fan.the owner noted there was no one around the vehicle.
