Multiple times we have received Powertrain Failure warnings. These warnings typically happen when driving in cruise control but also happens in normal driving. The car has trouble shifting gears, gets stuck in gears, and has trouble downshifting. This creates unsafe and unstable driving especially at high speeds. Repeated visits to the dealer have yielded no results and the dealer has not mentioned transmission work one time despite a clear issue and widespread issues with this transmission model. This issue has been persistent since the car was bought.

FYI re: Request #[XXX] Let me know if you have any info I sent this letter on November 20, 2022 and as of January 10, 2023 I have had no response from Ford Motors: [XXX] Office of the CEO Ford Motor Company 1 American Road Dearborn, Michigan 48126 Re: 2019 Ford Expedition ACC-Cruise Control Potential Safety Problem Mr. [XXX], I wanted to let you know of a bizarre recent ACC cruise control issue with my 2019 Expedition. It has ~30,000 miles on it and has performed very well without problem before and after this incident. Several weeks ago I was driving on an interstate highway in a construction zone with stop and go traffic, and had the ACC on. I slowed down behind a dull colored black Chevrolet pickup that had dark lens covers over the tail lights and a dark cover over the license plate to about 5 MPH. Suddenly the ACC had full acceleration then the auto safety braking slowed me abruptly, then the ACC hit full acceleration again and the auto brake engaged. I turned the ACC off, and then back on, and it did the exact acceleration and safety braking so I turned the ACC off. There was no accident or problem other than this acceleration/braking sequence. When I no longer was behind the pickup I tried and ACC and it has worked perfectly since then, as it had prior to this bizarre issue The ACC seemed to not see this pickup truck but the auto safety braking system did. The pickup was an unusual non factory appearing paint job, dark gray or black not just a primer, and the tail lights and license plates also had some darkening coating. It seemed to be Stealth to the ACC, but not to the braking system. Maybe referred to the Engineering Section of the ACC group to see if they have heard of this before or have any idea what occurred to help prevent any risks involving the Ford ACC system. Again there was no accident or collision, only the sudden acceleration/braking. This only occurred one time on this 2019 Expedition and never on our other Ford products.

Caught fire after using factory installed remote starter. A few days prior to the fire, the cruise control stopped working, after the cruise control stopped working, we received two warning lights on the dash display, service advance trac and hill decent control fault. I took photos of the dash warning and attempted to schedule a service appointment with the dealership, however the fire occurred before we could get it serviced. Ford sent their fire investigators to inspect vehicle, but we never received any explanation for the cause of the fire or a copy of their findings. The fire not only destroyed the expedition, but also caught our attached garage on fire, which caused us to also loose another vehicle along with the majority of our house hold contents. This fire occurred on an early morning while most of our family was sleeping. We could have been killed! In addition to the photos attached, I also took a brief video of the fire as the fire department was arriving on scene.
