I will say this, because of this experience I will never buy another new Ford ever again. The next vehicle I buy will be a Toyota!
Thanks for your time
Danny
thanks for your help!
Thanks.
As for trading for a Toyota, check out the Camry forum, so man trans problems with the 6 speed that CR has removed their "recommended" rating.

Anyone else ever have these issues? AM I in for an expensive visit to a Ford dealership?
the mechanic told me to as soon as the O/D light starts blinking to get it to a repair shop. ITS NOT OK TO BLINK.
check around your area for repetuable mechanics. Ford dealer wanted almost 6000.00 to do the repairs listed above.
also make sure you run your vin to check for open trans recalls, too
thanks

So what is going on? What sort of big bucks to repair?
Thanks, Kbarkhouse
This made a big difference. There is still a slight bump when coming to a stop. But it's very slight and is normal for these cars. I was having a BANG when coming to a stop when the tranny shifted from 3-2 at around 10mph.
They had it for a full day and reflashed the ecm that controls the trans and it has pretty much been flawless ever since. The reflash was done around 30k miles and I now am close to 50k w/o issues. Once in a while I'll still get a harsh downshift out of overdrive, but it has only happened maybe 2 or 3 times since the reflash last July.
The 07's have a TSB for the reflash, don't know if it applies to 08s. So far I'm very happy with my 07 Expedition. My previous Suburban didn't mess around with bad shifting, it went all out and puked a whole transmission at 45k.
