Assistance Requested On The Following Problem Arising Today.
2017 Expedition Limited. 46,000 miles with no current issues or problems; until today!
Although we have had battery management and TBC grounding issues in the past, which the problems and resolutions were well documented by past posts (hope they helped some), this issue is brand new and very much out of left field, so some assistance is much appreciated from the group.
The vehicle has been running well and has been used on a daily basis since early May (stored for the winter).
Today in the Northeast, is a beautiful 75 degree sunny day. We took a ride to pick up some things, 45 min highway up half hour engine off and 45 minute back.
We then headed out to lunch on local roads. 5 minutes into the trip, the engine went COMPLETELY LIMP, no throttle interaction at all. Moved to the side of the road, still no throttle and message “SEE OWNERS MANUAL” WTF!
No errors other than wrench symbol. Shut engine down, waited 2 minutes. Restarted with no issues. Drove the rest of the way to restaurant without issue.
About 1 hour at lunch, back in truck, started fine, I was attuned to pedal movement / throttle reaction and it seemed slightly delayed or rough. Then 3 minutes into drive, same situation, complete limp, no throttle reaction to pedal movement. Side of the road again. Idle rough. Shut off, wait 2 minutes, restart fine and made it home with less than smooth throttle reactions but no limp.
In the garage now. Looking for advice before I need to bring it to the dealer. It is under premium extended warranty, but not looking forward to a 2 week wait to look at it and 2 more weeks for repair.
