Have a 2021 FX4 Expedition. Ordered it. When driving freeway speeds anywhere around 55-65 mph and go to pass…it drops out of gear. Happens frequently. Anyone else have this problem?
Scheduled to go in next week.

Sounds like the faulty transmission part causing it to drop into a neutral state. This is affecting 2019’s also. There are other threads here people on waiting lists at dealers. The issue is a internal part that was machined incorrectly affecting pressure in the hydraulic system as I understand it.

The actual designed part was correct but for some reason the part used was not made to spec as I Understand it Ford is quietly replacing this part but it basically involves tearing down the transmission swapping in the part and reassembly. They must use a certified transmission expert to do it so its a get on the wait list and go when called kinda deal

Update on my tranny…lol. They replaced the CDF ring. Didn’t take them long. I took it easy on it for a bout a tank of gas. I recently drove it at freeway speeds and got on it to go into passing gear and all is well! No issues! It shifts smoother as well. Only problem is they forgot to connect my shifter light 1-10. About a $4800 bill. Under warranty of course.

shifter light? are you talking about the 1-10 reading on the gauge cluster? if so, just use your +/- gear selector again and that should show up.
