    Intelligent access door handles not working

    I'm having the same exact problem with my 2018; intelli-key entry system only works on the driver door handle for about the last 2-3 weeks. It's the original battery and the rig has 70,000 miles, so its probably due for a new battery anyway... which sounds like the fix to the issue. Great point...

    Keyless Entry - Rear Passenger Doors

    Recently, our rear passenger doors will not open using the keyless door feature. I can lock the car from the outside but not open. I have to open the driver and then press the unlock door button on the side console. It's the same whether using the master FOB or spare. We made no changes to the...

    Does anyone use the door code instead of key to access vehicle?

    No, I have never used it. I could see it being real handy for families with children though.

    Toyo Open Country HTD

    Great point. Old stock is definitely something to consider given the supply chain disruptions. I did speak with Toyo (USA) and the person I spoke with said they are still manufactured. Neither the Discount Tire or Big O near us stocks them (no real surprise there) but both said 2-3 days after...

    Toyo Open Country HTD

    I have 61,100 on these original tires (2018 MAX Limited) and looking to replace them. Not too much info about them on the internet but they are still available through Big O, Discount Tire, etc. at ~$880 installed OTD. They are smooth, quiet, nice riding tires - which, by all accounts are what...

    Cam Phasers or Turbo Wastegate Rattle?

    Clearly FMC has no intention of doing the right thing for their customers. They are simply running out the clock. My VCT system was replace at 50k and I still have the light "tick-tick" at start up. This with supposedly "new design replacement parts". Thus far no warning light and it runs...

    Field service 21N03

    I'd love to get the number and department you spoke too. I've had no luck getting to Ford's Technical Team/Engineering group in search of specific answers about these s/w updates and whether the replacement parts used for cam phasers, timing chains, etc. are in fact of new design that address...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    You probably are correct. It's seems pretty clear from your quoted statements that FMC is threading the needle on this glaring design issue and trying to minimize financial damage to the company. I'm beginning to also believe I was fed a line of bull about the parts used for my cam phasers...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    Until I get some specifics on what the reprograms do, I'm holding off. Trading start-up clicking for what sounds like a power neuter job and a "shudder" is nuts. These guys are simply trying to Band-Aid a crap design. If Ford was serious about this they would offer customers compensation as...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    While at the Yuma, AZ Ford getting an oil change this past week, I asked about the service notice, that I had recently had the cam phasers, timing chains, etc. replaced, and what I should do. They said it's still recommended to have the updates done to "make sure the problems don't happen...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    I had my 2018 Expedition cam phasers and timing chains replaced under warranty, in 2020, at 50K. Purportedly, they are of new design intended to address the common start-up rattle. So far (~9k miles of operation), it has been running just fine with only a little, occasional, rattle at start-up...

    Sirius XM Channels

    I just did the "refresh" using my laptop. As instructed it said to select channel 2 after the refresh and if you hear audio, the refresh was successful... did that, still no channel 208 (even using direct tune). Just went out to get the radio ID/serial # to begin the slog through Sirius...

    Sirius XM Channels

    I have a 2018 Expedition MAX Limited with Sirius XM. I have the "all access" subscription but am unable to tune to channel 208 "PGA Tour Radio". Called Sirius several times, done the refresh thing, still nothing. My station list only goes up to channel 184. Just found some info about possible...

    Cold start rattle? (video)

    Ford's very own pandemic. I haven't counted on just this forum alone, but we have a healthy handful of thread on the issue. If one were to combine the F-150 fleet, it could (probably should) merit its own sub forum. Yes, I am a pissed off Ford customer.

    Does this sound like the cam-phaser issue??

    99.9% sure that is cam phaser/VCT related. Just had my 2018 in for repair for the same thing. Both timing chains, both cam phasers, and VCT's were replaced. Check out my "RU Kidding Me" thread if you want to see the related TSB my work was performed too...

    RU Kidding Me?

    Update. Had the work completed this week. Dropped off Monday, it was scheduled for 3 full days, and it took 5 days. Found out they opted to do a "body off"... which made me cinch up at the counter :eek:. I've heard about them doing this on F-series trucks but not on Expy's/Nav's. Anyway...

    RU Kidding Me?

    I guess my point with this is that unless the procedure involves no loss of oil, or they are certain the oil and filter are not compromised by the mechanical parts making noise (message here), why would Ford not just include that as part of the repair? The cost is peanuts compared to parts and...

    RU Kidding Me?

    Yes, they said 3-4 days. Most of the time is to assure sealants fully cure. So you're saying that Ford does cover oil change and/or coolant as part of the warranty repair? Other than confirming both phasers and chains are being replaced, I have no other details and the TSB (that I've found)...

    RU Kidding Me?

    So I'm having the cam phasers and timing chains, etc. replaced on my 2018 next week; which is already making me wonder about keeping this rig long term. The dealer service agent asks "do you want to include an oil change as part of the service?" I said absolutely - it would be nuts to tear...
