Hi All,
As a little back story I bought my wife a 2018 expedition almost a year ago (March 2022). Shortly after that, we noticed the phase cam issue and started to see buggy little things. that prompted me to join this forum and start researching issues and resolutions. In May I called Lombardi and got an ESP Premium care package for as long as I could. I think 2026 and 140ish K. very painless process and it showed in my ford pass app if anyone cares. We have been working with our closest dealership about the cam phaser since October, they reprogrammed some modules and the truck has felt weak since then, just off.... Two weeks ago I got fed up with waiting for them and always being told it would be another month to get in for service. I called a country dealership that is about 20 mins away and they got me in last Monday with a rental waiting. here is the list of issues they addressed:
1. Check engine light for CAT:
a. Replaced bank 2 catalytic converter
2. Rattle on startup (cam phaser)
a. Replaced all 4 VCT units (tons of parts)
3. Passenger rear seat belt broken
a. replaced buckle assy.
4. Drive mode selector switch broken ( bottom half of switch fell into console)
a. Replaced drive mode switch.
5. Grinding noise at hard turn
a. Completed TSB 22-2219 vacuum caps for IWE's
6. Trunk will not open by foot or unlock from back.
a. C4332 found corrosion near pin 1. cleaned corrosion repaired connector.
7. Front USB's not charging devices only allowing media.
a. Replaced media hub.
The only other issue was the cupholders are broken, but they called me and I declined the 500.00 repair bill!
Anyway the truck feels brand new and has life again! I am very happy the warranty covered everything and I was only out the deductable.
