Problem overview

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing transmission failure characterized by an inability to move forward or reverse, which may indicate an internal transmission failure involving the pump, converter, or one-way clutch. Additionally, low transmission fluid is a common issue that can lead to such problems, prompting owners to drain, filter, and refill the transmission fluid carefully. Many owners also find it essential to regularly check the transmission fluid level, as low or dirty fluid can exacerbate transmission issues. A thorough transmission diagnosis is recommended, which includes a visual inspection and assessment of fluid levels and overall transmission condition. Furthermore, some owners note that the digital transmission range sensor, crucial for proper gear engagement, may also contribute to shifting problems if malfunctioning. Addressing these potential causes systematically is advised for effective resolution of transmission issues in the Ford Expedition.
