    Side mirror not locked into position and causing it to fold going down the road

    Another item on Ford's cash cow service list. A power mirror assembly will take care of that, but those are expensive. Like the Deployable running boards, they are prone to repair. As you know, the big profit for Ford lies in its repair services, not in sales. They don't call them "Stealerships...

    Expedition Going into Deep Sleep - Battery Low

    Happened to me once when I let it sit for around 10 days. Charged it up, battery is fine, and have never had any issues since. Now, I will not let it sit for a long period of inaction. I make it a point to drive it periodically or, at least, start it up and let it idle if I can't get her out on...

    Order XLT vs Limited 7k Help

    I had the 2018 Limited for 6 months, sold it, and bought the 2018 Platinum version. My motto, "When in doubt, upgrade". The motion seats and extra HP were the clinchers for me. I have never regretted that move to the Platinum.

    We got our new 2024 Ford Expedition Platinum!

    Worried about scratches on the rims? Get some rim protectors. They've saved me from a couple of nasty gouges already.

    2019 Ford Expedition Max Limited Overall Reliability and Quirks

    Those running boards are a cash cow due to how prone they are to break down. If I need to go in and out of the vehicle, I just leave 1 of the doors slightly ajar to keep them down. Make sure you lubricate those board hinges religiously every few months. If you live in the snow belt, the...

    2018 Platinum, in the shop with transmission problem

    Never, ever tell a Stealership that you have a warranty from Ford. Spring that on them AFTER they tell you the engine or transmission needs to be replaced. Then, make them stick to their original diagnosis. It's amazing how many problem issues they can suddenly find 1 day after a warranty...

    Wheel hubs?

    Two chime noise

    You're lucky. All of a sudden, my 2018 Expy started chiming all the time . After powering down, the chime would start before the driver's door was opened, after the door was opened, and after the door was closed (I am the sole driver) . It will continue to chime for at least 30 seconds before...

    Tire rotation at dealership ends up with scratches on the rims

    Always take close-up pictures right before your appointment, make sure they are time-stamped, and notify the dealer going in that you have pictures of the "before" rotation for evidence. Also, I have installed some black rim protectors that look pretty sharp to help prevent curb rash, which are...

    2018 Expedition Platinum Engine Air Filter

    I've noticed, too, on occasion, that loss of power momentarily after backing out of the driveway shifting into drive. This happens shortly upon forward accelleration. Otherwise, my Expy, which has 100,000 miles on it, drives and shifts smoothly. I have purchased an aftermarket warranty covering...

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    As some of the other commentators noted, a minor clunk when shifting from P to R. Otherwise, as smooth as a baby's behind. I'm not sure if the dealer is mandated to "fix" anything subject to a TSP under warranty, but you can bet your bottom dollar (or bottom $9000) that the day after that...

    Power running board stuck

    I don't do any off roading, so I view these as a cash cow for Ford, prone to breakdown. There should be an option to drive with the boards down in a fixed position. For those who drive thru all kinds of rough terrain, I can understand the threat of damage. My previous SUV, a Yukon, had the...

    Power Running Board Settings

    If you want the boards out for an extended period, just leave one of the doors slightly ajar on the side you want the boards down. When I'm working on the vehicle inside and out, this is easier that fooling around with those settings each time you want to change something.

    How many labor hours dealerships charge to replace 2022/2023 engine thermostat?

    They don't call them "Stealerships" for nothing. Mine charges $160 just to check anything...no matter how minor.
