#56 of 64 '98 Ford Expedition Eddie B. Tranny problem by butchl Apr 01, 2008 (12:43 pm)
My expedition has 119,000 mi..2 weeks ago the transmission seemed to slip from 2nd to 3rd gear. It has gotten worse especially when it is warmed up. I had the fluid and filter replaced yesterday...they said they found metal shavings. I took it to a tansmission shop and they said the computer doesn't know which gear to put it in, possibly due to metal fragments on the sensor. I am awaiting a second opinion from AAMCO. I am wondering if I should just go to the dealer. Any advice????

Replying to: mytrk1 (Oct 08, 2007 9:54 am) I had my 04 expedition for almost 4 years. My transmission problems started at about 28k. I would hear and feel a loud clunking noise when the truck would down shift at about 40 mph and also on the highway. when I brought it to the dealership the first time -- they told me it was normal and showed me a service bulletin stating that no repair should be made. It's been back a total of 5 times so far. I brought it to two transmission specailsts who said there was a definate problem with the tranny and Ford still said that their tech. expert could not find a problem. So, after almost 4 years, I got so fed up, I traded it in for an Armada. What's really annoying is that Ford reimburses dealerships for these types of problem. Why would they let you drive around in a $50k vehicle that clunks all the time. So much for a credible service department -- Whaling City Ford, New London, CT Replies to this message: neveragainford (Apr 11, 2008 8:31 pm)

Replying to: deanct (Apr 11, 2008 4:58 pm) I had the same problem with my 07-I called their service center and filed a complaint. I made it very clear that if it wasn't fix (whether that be replacing the trans or giving me a new vehicle) I would be filing with my state department of transportation-Lemon Law. It seemed to work. The dealership contacted me within a week. My 07 has been running great ever since with no other problems (Knock on Wood).   I will say this, because of this experience I will never buy another new Ford ever again. The next vehicle I buy will be a Toyota!
#59 of 64 2004 Ford Expedition Problem/Bill by bmoenart Apr 12, 2008 (8:09 am)
My problem sounds similar to some here, but a bit different, my transmission just started in the last couple of weeks, 81K miles, it's problem, when shifting from park to drive it takes 2-3 second to kick into drive, or when passing it hesistates 2-3 second again before kicking into passing gear. The automatic shifting from 1st to 2nd and 3rd seems to be fine and no hesitation, and manually shifting from drive to reverse or visa versa is fine, no hesitation, it is just from park to drive, and when using my passing gear. Fluid is up and clean. I have heard it could be a modulator/valve??? Any suggestions, thanks....Bill....
#60 of 64 04 tranny problems by dalmeda Apr 21, 2008 (4:33 pm)
We bought our Expedition new in late 2003. It only has 16000 miles and the tranny is messed up. 16000 MILES! Now it wont go in reverse. When i put it in reverse, it goes forward as if in drive (almost ran into my washing machine). Warranty just expired last November so now its going to cost me $3200 for parts and labor. Any suggestions or similar problems?   Thanks for your time   Danny Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (Apr 24, 2008 10:10 am)

Replying to: dalmeda (Apr 21, 2008 4:33 pm) danny sounds like the forward clutch is welded up and the trans will have to be rebuilt but im sure you can find it for less than 3200.00 i think someone saw you coming

#63 of 64 4x4 light flashes, 01 expy 5.4, turn signal mirrror by lugster84 May 07, 2008 (8:47 am)
My 4x4 light started flashing after momentarily engaging 4wd and towing a boat. Any thing I can do to determine the cause before I take it in? Also, how do you change the bulbs on outside of the mirrors, little red signals on the very end of the mirror, EB trim?   Thanks. Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (May 07, 2008 9:07 am)

Replying to: lugster84 (May 07, 2008 8:47 am) if your 4x4 light is flashing have your vehicle scanned at a local trans shop that does free roadtests and diagnosis specifically the GEM module you will likely come back with a contact plate code normally out of range which means t-case motor MAY have to be replaced. as far as mirror lights got me
