I was driving at approximately 50 mph, in a steady-state in mild traffic, when the wrench icon in the left-side of the dashboard lit up momentarily and the vehicle lost all power. the engine was still running but was unresponsive. i had to coast to a stop, turn it off then re-start the vehicle. it did so again upon driving it on monday aug 19. ford was contacted and denied the issue, even though this exactly mimics the reason for the recall on 2015 ford flexes/lincoln mkts, etc. with the same powertrain!
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 ford expedition. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and his wife noticed smoke was coming from between the windshield and the hood. the vehicle burst into flames and burned to the frame. the fire department extinguished the fire and filed a report. the contact stated that there was no issue with the vehicle and called cook county ford dealer, (located at 1000 s hutchinson ave, adel, ga 31620, (229) 896-7411) to get insurance information. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer as it was destroyed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 103,000. the vin was not available.
On today's date, april 9, 2019 at approximately 4:20pm cdt, i was entering freeway accelerating to 40 mph when power was lost and quickly decelerated to under 5mph. engine still running, but it went into 'limp home' mode, no faster than 5mph. was able to get to distress lane. wrench symbol displayed on instrument cluster. turned off engine and checked owners manual...symbol indicated power train trouble. turned on started ok, and continued to freeway speed. about 1 mile later, lost power again, slowing to 'limp' mode. this time check engine and wrench lights came on and engine noticeably rough running. turned off/on started ok, exited freeway and drove city streets home, about 3 miles. check engine light never went off. wrench light did go off after 2nd re-start. manual recommends having ford dealer check it out. that's what i'll be doing tomorrow. this spontaneous loss of power has risk of causing a crash from other driver's as sudden decelerations without brake light warning is very dangerous.

Tl* the contact owned a 2015 ford expedition. after parking and exiting the vehicle, a fire started under the hood near the engine compartment. the fire spread to the front windshield. the vehicle was destroyed. the fire department extinguished the flames, but had not determined what had caused the fire. the police department towed the vehicle to a yard and then the insurance company towed the vehicle to a facility for diagnostic testing. landers ford (19501 i-30, benton, ar 72015, 1-(501) 315-4700) was notified and did not assist. the contact called the manufacturer on november 2, 2018 and was informed that their office of council would respond back within fifteen business days to investigate the cause of the fire. the contact was waiting on their response. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000. *tt*jb
While driving at highway speeds, the orange wrench light came on with a message to see owner's manual. vehicle went into "limp mode" and i was unable to accelerate could only coast. i was able to maneuver to the shoulder while coasting. once on the shoulder, stopped and vehicle idled rough so shut it off. i then restarted and the issue went away and i was able to drive. i called the dealership and was told it could have been a fluke with the computer and to bring it in if it happens again. it happened again the next day so we took to the dealership. dealership diagnosed the problem as a failed electronic throttle body under code p2112 which is similar to the issue ford has had for several years. i was informed by the dealership and ford customer service that ford did not include the expedition in the recall for this issue. it appears their recall did not cover all vehicles impacted by this issue.
In the past week, on 2 separate occasions, my 2015 ford expedition has stalled while driving. first instance, while driving approx. 45mph on small country road and accelerating, vehicle stalled and came to a rolling stop, with service indicator light and "see manual" illuminated on dashboard. once stopped and shifted into park, vehicle started and drove again normally. second instance (approx. 2 days later), while entering interstate from on ramp, approx. 45mph and accelerating, vehicle stalled. luckily, we were able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder prior to coming to complete stop. once shifted into park, vehicle started and drove again normally. ford service told us the problem is with the throttle body, and will cost nearly $700 to replace. i've done some online research over the past 24 hours, the throttle body seems to be one of, if not the most common complaints by 2015 expedition owners. if this happened during rush hour on a major interstate, people could get killed. please investigate.
Engine goes into limp mode no problem response no power cannot move out of its way very dangerous happened to me was pulling out into middle of an intersection vehicle just coasted. wrench light came on had to coast out of the way shut vehicle off restarted it was fine this is happened to me four times took the dealer not warrantable
Driving on a city street about to get onto a highway car started to stumble then died out. we got it started back up but no throttle. had it towed back home. i hooked up an obd2 code reader and the codes were p2112 and p2111 electronic throttle body. i found some info online like a recalibration test ( key on, press pedal down slowly then release slowly, then turn key off). started back up like there was no problem. this car has 38,000 miles this seams like a safety issue, if we were to turn in front of someone and it died out we could of got hit!!! i will be taking it in to the dealership to be fixed, car is still under warranty
While driving my 2015 ford expedition home from work, my vehicle suddenly lost all gas power to the vehicle. my steering still worked and power was still on but i had no gas. i pulled over, turned my engine off and restarted and could go again. it took 6 times to restart to get 2 miles to safe point. where i then had my vehicle towed to the nearest ford dealership. i thought it was the fuel pump. turns out it was the electronic throttle body. which is a known issue for the ford engine, the nhtsa had enough complaints that ford issued a mandatory extended warranty for 4 other type ford vehicles but not the expedition, which has the same type of engine. i had to pay $560.00 to have this part replaced on my vehicle when it's a known ford issue. my vehicle had 50,700 miles on it at the time of the occurrence. i hope that the nhtsa will look into this issue and have ford expand their make and model warranty as well as reimburse me for my expenses for this replacement.
While driving at highway speeds (70 mph), went to pass traffic, truck downshifted, service transmission light came on and truck lost all power. transmission was stuck in 4th gear and engine would not rev above idle. pulled over and shut off truck. restarted and everything was normal. a few days later same thing happened again, this time was on a city street (20mph) and trans was stuck in 3rd gear.

1/28/17 driving 65 mph on a florida highway (not on cruise control) the throttle/gas peddle sensor (throttle body) shuts off the gas to the engine and the car slows to a stop. this is in the middle of traffic. we manage to pull to the side of the highway, turn the car off and on and the problem disappears for another 50 miles we drive the car to a ford dealer and they replace the throttle body for $500. i am . out of warranty = over 36,000 miles i tell my story to 2 st louis friends, also own fords (2006 explorer, 2008 edge) and they say that they have had the same experience and necessary repair. i just notified ford customer service 800-392-3673 and they say that they do not have a recall or issue with this problem. this is a very dangerous situation and has been ignored by ford for years. i also owned a toyota during their sudden acceleration problem a few years ago and this seems worse
