I brought my expedition in for recall 25V572, I brought it in and they said they had to run tests to see if it qualified, after testing they said that it qualified but that they didn't have the item in stock to make the repair, after several months, I called and they finally had the part to change out the camera. Problem is, it is worse than before I brought it in. The only time I get a clear image is when the hatch is in the air. I called the dealer back and they said "We changed the camera that is what the recall called for. What can I do. This is an extremely long vehicle and the back up camera aides in some tight spots. I really would like this to be working.

My 2016 Expedition has the same 6R80 transmission as the Ford F150, for which there is a recall for the Lead Frame. My wife was driving the vehicle on the highway and the check engine light came on and the vehicle went into "limp mode" causing the vehicle to decelerate to approximately 35 mph. Needless to say, she almost caused several accidents as she tried to move to the shoulder at a very reduced speed. The code was P0715 and P0717 which is the Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor which is part of the lead frame in the transmission. As stated before, there was a recall on this issue with the F150 but not to the Expedition since Ford did not sell as many Expeditions as F150's? I was able to have the
