Yeah I agree and now that the seal has gone twice that makes more sense. I’ll let you guys know what I find out from the dealer, hopefully by the end of the week.This doesn't sound like a common issue with this transmission, in fact I have not heard of very many issues with this transmission at all. I have pulled my camper up some steep stuff and gotten it hotter than I would like and have not had issues. What ever is going on is not normal. Just replacing the seal is not going to fix the problem, somebody needs to figure out why the seal if failing because loading up with ski equipment is not enough to cause this sort of failure.
BTW, does it seem strange that we had the same transmission leak almost exactly a year later at the same spot on the interstate (going up I-70 in Colorado towards Eisenhower Tunnel)?? What are the odds of the same seal going out after no problems after one year???
Just out of curiosity what seal is going out? Is your Expedition 2wd or 4wd?
Agreed - I love how Toyota / Honda still used old dash clock displays and shifters - the interior could be mistaken from 15 years ago.All manufacturers are hit or miss. Especially now a days. I’ve had 15 F150 platinums since they came out in 09/10. I’ve had good ones and I’ve had bad ones. I’ve owned GMs 2 that GM ended up buying back one right after the other! Lol. I’ve had German cars, same thing good ones and bad ones. I managed a few Japanese car dealerships and the same good ones and bad ones (never buy an early build 19 Camry or rav4)
Now I did have a 2018 Land Cruiser that I put over 75k miles in roughly 2.5 years and it was a beast! No problems. I drove it like I stole it, put it through its paces. But the design was outdated.
I’ve come to one conclusion early on. anything that is man made, it’s quality very dependent on how the people felt that day. That’s saying “this must have been a Friday car” is unfortunately true. Learned this from being in the industry for 15 years and having family that work at Ford plants.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Just buy what you like and cross your fingers.
