2017 Ford Expedition Speed Control & Cruise Problems

Driving vehicle on road and car lost all acceleration power. The check engine light appeared and the problem was diagnosed as a faulty throttle body. This exact same issue has been identified as a recall item with an extended warranty (ten years or 150,000 miles) on other Ford vehicles but for some unknown reason the 2017 expedition is not covered. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE... I did speak to Ford and they offered no assistance.

Vehicle was jerking and a wrench illuminated on panel. Was able to get out of traffic to side of road but very dangerous as we had to just coast to safety. Took vehicle to dealership...code threw for throttle active stuck. This happened on March 23, 2022. Than again on July 23, 2022, was on interstate and wrench illuminated and again stalled. 75 Mph traffic and thank goodness we was able to clear traffic to side of road. Limped home. 1st incident mileage was 118395. And second incident 128024.3

The electronic throttle body gets stuck closed. The engine stalls or goes into limp mode. At highway speed I then have to try and navigate a dead car to the shoulder or am stuck in the middle lane with cars going past at 70+ mph. This is a known defect in fords engine and other years/models are recalled. 2017 Ford Expedition needs to be added immediately. This is dangerous.

WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE MY 2017 EXPEDITION EL 4X4 WAS SHIFTING AND COMING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED , WHEN IT SEEMED TO RUN ROUGH AND FELT LIKE IT MISSED A SHIFT. I LET OFF GAS PEDAL, ENGINE ROUGHNESS TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. NOW I'M GETTING CLOSER TO GETTING ON HIGHWAY , APPLIED GAS AGAIN AND ENGINE GOT ROUGH RUNNING AGAIN AND TOOL SYMBOL APPEARED ON DASH . I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER TO WHEELS WHILE TRYING TO ENTER AN INTERSTATE. VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING IF I DID NOT HAVE A LONG SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON. PULLED OVER STOPPED ENGINE. LET SIT FOR 5 OR SO MINS. STARTED UP AND TOOL SYMBOL WAS GONE. GOT ON HIGHWAY UP TO SPEED THIS TIME THEN SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. ROUGH RUNNING , LOST ALL POWER TO WHEELS, TOOL SYMBOL APPEARED AGAIN BUT GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME. LUCKILY I WAS PASSING AN EXIT AND HAD TIME TO GET OFF INTERSTATE 77 BEFORE I GOT RUN OVER FROM BEHIND. STOPPED N RESTARTED. GOT TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY PULLED A THROTTLE BODY CODE ON THE TRUCK. I HAD THEM RESET CODE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE AN ALLY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WE'LL SEE HOW USING THAT GOES. I AM DRIVING TRUCK WITH LESS ISSUES TRYING TO GET CODE TO APPEAR AGAIN TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR A FIX. HAVE GOTTEN THE TOOL LIGHT TO COME ON 2X BUT NO CHECK ENGINE YET.

SITTING AT DRIVE UP ATM VEHICLE IN PARK ENGINE RUNNING, AFTER BUSINESS TRANSACTION PLACED RIGHT FOOT ON BRAKE AND MOVED VEHICLE FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND INSTANT INDEPENDENT FULL ACCELERATION OCCURRED. BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT IN SLOWING VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY EIGHT SECONDS LATER CRASHED INTO VEHICLE ON BUSY HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE FRONT END TOTALED. STEERING COLUMN COLLAPSED, STEERING WHEEL BENT, LEFT AREA OF FIREWALL PUSHED IN.. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.. PUT SEAT AND SHOULDER BELTS KEPT INJURES TO MINOR CONTUSIONS AND BRUISES. *BF*TR*JB

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOOSES ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND GOES INTO SAFE (OR LIMP) MODE. STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOTHING, IT DOESN'T EVEN REV THE ENGINE, IT'S SIMILAR TO BEING IN NEUTRAL. IT HAS OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MONTHS BETWEEN EVENTS - FIRST, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WE SUDDENLY LOSE ENGINE POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE OF TRAFFIC. WE FORCED TO SLIDE OVER ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND STOP. SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. WE SUDDENLY LOSE ENGINE POWER AND ARE FORCED TO TURN ONTO A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIRD TIME, AGAIN DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, SUDDENLY LOSE ENGINE POWER BUT THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULLOVER OR SIDE STREET TO TURN ONTO. WE FORCED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND US. IN ALL CASES, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, WAITING A MINUTE, AND THEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE "FIXED" OR CLEARED THE ISSUE AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. NO OBD-II CODES THROWN AFTER THE EVENT. FORD DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND SO FAR WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE ISSUE.

LAST WEEK, MY 2017 FORD EXPEDITION EXPERIENCED A SITUATION WHERE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS FORCED TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AS THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT OPERATING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. FORTUNATELY, AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE DRIVING. IN THE SPACE OF 24 HOURS THIS HAPPENED SIX (6) TIMES. AFTER THE SIXTH OCCURRENCE, I DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, LACERATIONS TO THE LEFT SHIN, AND BAD BRUISES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NECK AND SHOULDER. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,600.
