2019 Ford Expedition: transmission slipping

Filed Oct 3, 2026 · Transmission · WV

While accelerating from a stop after a traffic light, the transmission briefly shifted into neutral on its own, causing a momentary loss of motive power. The vehicle recovered on its own without stopping. This has happened once so far. The transmission also slips rarely at other times. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle yet. This vehicle has an open the federal safety agency recall, campaign 26V402 (Ford 26S48), for the transmission potentially engaging Park while the vehicle is moving.

I have 3 small children so I am concerned about my car. The gear shift goes out of drive while driving. If you push the gas and then let up and push the gas again it won’t go and if you keep pushing the gas it will start fishtailing all over the road. You have to take your foot off the gas for a period of time until it goes back in gear which causes you to completely slow down and can cause a crash. When trying to give excessive gas it will disengage and won’t go. It will only engage 1 tire and cause it to fishtail. It has almost caused an accident multiple times because it slips out of gear and it currently has a recall for a similar issue. You can’t pull over or move over wile it disengages because you can’t go anywhere if you push the gas it just accelerates like it was in park. This is not an if something happens it’s a when something happens. Nobody else can drive my vehicle because they won’t know how to stop it from happening and they may get seriously hurt. It has happened on multiple occasions

When trying to pass a vehicle between approximately 40-50 mph, transmission slips out of gear, engine revs, lack of acceleration and a light gear grinding sound followed by a loud bang is heard, vehicle regains gear. Occasionally a 'transmission fault' message appears but does not set a OBD2 code. We understand this is likely related to the CDF Drum

CDF drum of this model was also found to be defective.

The 10 Speed Transmission, also known as 10R80, is absolutely horrible and should be banned. I have had Ford rebuild the transmission more than once and also fully replaced with multiple shop visit with other trans issues. Constant jerking, poor shifting, delayed gear recognition, slipping gears while going highway speeds, are all causes for great concern. I am worried all the time that I may get in an accident with one of the skipping that occurs several times monthly. This Trans must be fully recalled due to its safety! This is a major safety issue. Who wants to pay $90,000.00 on a car to have constant transmission issues and jerky driving? This jerking has been worsening again lately and worried I need another trans repair. This happened again today which brings me to this complaint as Ford wont fiix the issue, needing a new style trans altogether!

While attempting to accelerate and change lanes on the freeway, the vehicle unexpectedly slipped out of gear and appeared to shift into neutral. During this time, the gas pedal became completely unresponsive, leaving me unable to control the vehicle’s speed. Multiple warning lights and audible alerts activated briefly before disappearing. I released the gas pedal and attempted to accelerate again, at which point the vehicle re-engaged and resumed normal function. This issue first occurred approximately one month ago and has now happened two additional times. Each incident lasted several seconds during active freeway driving, creating a highly dangerous situation where I had no control over acceleration. This poses a serious safety risk, especially when merging or maneuvering in high-speed traffic. Although no accident has occurred yet, the potential for one is significant and deeply concerning.

Traveling at approximately 65 MPH and the transmission slipped into neutral and we began to lose speed while the engine freely revved, then it slammed back into gear violently. Then about an hour later on the same trip it did it again, except this time when it slammed into gear the rear tires lock up and we were nearly rear ended, luckily they swerved over in time. The wheels then unlocked and the vehicle drove mostly normal after that. The shifts were of poor quality from time to time, and we are out of state with no choice but to continue for the week. It seemed to happen when trying to increase speed, so now I am very gingerly speeding up when needed. We will get it in for service as soon as we get home next week.
