2024 expedition vibration

[VibrationSucks]

Purchased my limited max July 20,2024. Noticed some vibration at 35mph. But had not driven on interstate. Second day drive on interstate and the vibration was unbearable over 50mph. Been in shop 4 times for the issue and they've had it the last 46 days. Got an email my buyback was approved.

Sad to see reports of these vibration issues widespread since 2017 and it's still happening. Love the vehicle other than the nasty vibrations. Never had a vehicle do this and upsetting on such an expensive vehicle.

Did any of these recent cases get the tire and wheel road force balanced?

I had the stock General Grabbers road forced balanced the first time with a little improvement. The second time, they determined one tire was bad. They would replaced for free. The dealer gave me $400 towards a set of my choice. I spent days going back and forth on Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2's and Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3. Chose the Pirelli's and now there no vibration all the way to 85mph. Haven't had it past 85 yet. The Pirelli's are way smoother and quieter than the General Grabbers were!

Ford balanced my OEM Grabbers, RFB'd them, replaced with new Grabbers, replaced with Michelins and no improvement. The problem is not the tires, as many on this thread have previously said - its just the easiest thing for dealers to blame the vibration on. Mine also pulls to the left despite the alignment purportedly being "fine"

Yes, that was the first try. Road Force and balanced 4 times I believe. (thinking it was a technician issue)
Then they replaced the 3 issue tires.
Then they swapped the tires and rims from another new vehicle.
I informed of what I read in the forums about drive shafts, transaxles, etc.
They then tried rebalancing again.
I contacted Ford since they informed they had 12 other expeditions with the same issue between their other dealerships and they do not have a fix.
Brought it back and since they have replaced driveshaft, front axles and now awaiting rear axles according to service advisor. That was the recommendation from Ford Engineer assisting dealership. They have had the vehicle since August 7th.

Ouch, that totally sucks. Some previous posts said road force balance did the trick for them. Sorry

Just purchased a 2024 limited with 22” wheels and General tires. Get vibration starting at 70 mph steadily worsens up to 80 mph on turnpike. Service manager stated that all newer models are experiencing this problem but hasn’t got any feedback from ford. Did not have this problem with my 2019 with 20” tires

I bought a 23 KR in February and had the same type of issue. Very noticeable vibration at 55/56 and again at 77/78. I spoke with the service manager and heard the same thing. No answers from Ford yet. When I pushed it, they offered to buy back my truck. I like my truck and I just want Ford to fix it.

Mine's at the dealer right now for the 3rd time.
It's a 2022 Limited Stealth Max, bought used from a Ford dealer. I didn't test drove it over 65mph when i bought it, my bad. Initially it was due to a bent wheel, they ordered/replaced wheel, still have vibration after replacing wheel. so they wheel balanced. and now's the 3rd time awaiting for news.. this is just depressing. my kid skipped school today coz we have no other vehicle to use.

Uber/Lyft, keep the receipt and send to dealer for reimbursement? LOL

Vibration is gone! Finally got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's mounted on and could not be happier! No vibration or shimmy felt at speeds up to 85mph. Very smooth and quiet tire! 100x better than the stock General Grabbers!

I'm considering purchasing a 2024 Limited non-Max with SPP (304A). I have three at area dealers on my radar, but I haven't driven any of them yet. One was built over a year ago and another was built in February. They both have General Grabbers on them. The third was built a month ago and has Pirelli Scorpion tires. Hmmm...

I had my 23’ Stealth in for vibration and rubbing/grinding noise at start up. Vibration isn’t bad, I hardly drive it, wife does. I figured with 30k miles I need to rotate and balance, so they did. They also didn’t find any noise at startup. However I’ve since captured an audio file. It’s kinda long but listen to the end where I tap the throttle, it’s the same rattling/rubbing noise. See SSM52610 and 52295. I am curious if you guys experiencing vibration also hear this noise. If the bolts are loose to the flex plate, or under torqued, this would definitely cause a vibration. Replace the xx with tt

That noise is the wastegate, scratch that theory.

I noticed the latest Expedition with 22" wheels to show up at the dealer now has Pirelli Scorpion Verde's on it as well. Maybe Ford finally figure out the General's were crap?! I chose the Scorpion AS Plus 3's and couldn't be happier. We even gained 1-2 mpg with the change.

24 Expedition Limited Max 4x4 with stealth performance edition, ccd w/sport tune and controltrac. $92,815 sticker and I have the same exact vibration issue. It's been at dealer twice had the grabbers replaced with continentals (10 tires total), been balanced many different times including multiple RFB and no change. I have to take it in a 3rd time and just found this thread which doesn't give me much hope as I didn't read a real solution. I have a master mechanic looking at it tomorrow before I take back to dealer. If anyone has an update on any solutions other than Michelin or Pirelli tires please post.

 

[ib_jigged]

The solution for ours was in the tires. No vibration since that change.

Update: after 2+ months in the shop and the ford engineers investigating... They put Michelin defenders on on said the vibration is gone. I drive it, no change. In the meantime my buyback was approved and settled. I still wanted a limited expedition max, but test drive 8 at different lots and all did the same thing above 50 and way worse at 70+. I then switched to the platinum to see if the upgrade would help .. 4 of those same results and then I drive 1 platinum max without the max trailer tow package, and it was beautiful. However I need the tow package. So my buyback is set for next week, I bought a 2024 new platinum sight unseen from another state because they have me an unbelievable deal ($94,255 MSRP out the door with no money down $85,900.87), just picked it up and it's the worse one I've driven yet .. design flaw for sure!

I'm going to have them start with the front drive train. I've read recently issues with the front drive shaft and that 4 wheel drive not fully disengaging causing issues with vibration. Fingers crossed they will be able to fix or it's another buy back in a few months.

PS. I think some people are experiencing vibration/shutter due to flat spots on the cheap factory tires and others like myself are having that tire issue combined with something else. While a lot of the vehicles I test drove experienced similar vibration issues several were much worse. Turns out the 2 2024 expedition max I own have a much worse vibration issue 65+ than most others. To explain the issue a little more... It feels like something is rubbing and there's a low bass like hum that kicks in above 35 mph and the vibration starts but it's subtle. Then as you go faster it comes and goes, and 65+ it's foot numbing vibrations. It has actually put me to sleep twice... Thank heaven for the driver assist braking to wake me up. Never happened to me before in my life.

Wait. What? You drove 13. 13? And they all had a vibration but one? Then you go buy an $86K vehicle sight unseen? That one does it too, and you still bought it? Am I confused or missing something?

Glutton for punishment I guess.

I got Michelin defenders on the new platinum. It was a 50% improvement. Pretty smooth up to 50mph. But still vibrating over that, but much less. Supporting my suspicion that it's a compound issue.

Hello all, I just bought a 2024 expedition in December with the 22inch wheels, general grabbers, ccd, with the max tow package, and I have also been experiencing a vibration at highway speeds. The car only has 2k miles.

I took it to the dealership this week and their report was that 3 out of the 4 general grabbers have excessive runout. So they are going to replace all four tires with new Michelin defender ltx under warranty.

I will test drive the car tomorrow once the new tires are installed and report back on whether that fixed the high speed vibration or not.
