    Timing chain issues at 20k miles

    Sounds like I have some kindred spirits in here! Ford just called me and said I have about 3k in work that needs to be done on my 2018 Expedition. Sunroof tracks need replacing, catalytic converter has failed (horrible rattle and check engine light), and the AC system has a horrible...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    Mine was fixed...but they charged me to do it...which is absolute BS since it was a Ford software issue in the first place. At least it no longer does it.

    Major EcoBoost Motor Issues

    Ended up needing the head and valve cover gasket replaced. They damaged it during the repair of the timing chain crap...and now its back in the shop for the EXACT same issue! I love Ford and will probably buy another one but damnit...this sucks. Still under warranty THANK GOD!

    Cold Start Rattle

    Oil leak on mine was the head gasket. They bent it repairing the timing chain crap. It's back in the shop for the same thing again. Someone mentioned that there was no longer term durability/reliability issues from this...I call BS. How can Ford possibly know that!? Something is...

    Cold Start Rattle

    Ford already replaced my cam phaser once and now the rattle is back and worse about 6 months later. Embarassingly bad for such a pricey machine. Anyone had to have this done twice?

    Major EcoBoost Motor Issues

    Lemon law is bad for consumers in SC. It’s under power train for 40,000 more miles but I’m scared to own this thing past that, and not only that, but the dealer has refused to give me a loaner while they repair whatever the hell is going on here. The whole thing has soured me on Ford. Doesn’t...

    Major EcoBoost Motor Issues

    So ever since Ford did the work on the engine rattle at startup, the motor has smoked something awful. Well it went back in for more work to supposedly fix it...on my way home the check engine light comes on again and it starts billowing smoke from under the hood. Anyone have any ideas of what...

    EcoBoost Issues

    So the saga continues...got the Expy back. Rattle gone. But 100 miles into getting it back the check engine light came on, and now it smells like something is burning every time I stop at a redlight/stop sign. Anyone know a good Lemon Law lawyer in SC?! Ford want's me to bring it in and...

    EcoBoost Issues

    Soooo. They took it for a test drive after “fixing” it I guess...I got these two warnings on my app. Can’t wait to see how many more days they need this thing and I have to drive this underpowered tiny Focus around!

    EcoBoost Issues

    @JExpedition07 That is hilarious! But I have dealt with the corporate jokers before and all they wanted to do was send me to another dealer...which is why I am where I am now...dealer #3...so to put it bluntly here...I am just about over Ford. 75000 dollar vehicle and the motor is coming...

    EcoBoost Issues

    Also...I am a bit worried after reading around...that they are bull ******** me on the VCT thing and its actually timing chain issues that are making the god awful cold start rattle sound. Anyone have any info on this? Even the service lady admitted it was bad and I have a hard time believing...

    EcoBoost Issues

    I agree. Anyone know how to contact Ford on this? The software update was for the mirror freaking out issue that I brought to their attention months ago and yet they couldn't fix it...and now that they can...its 60 bucks...madness.

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    They are charging me a software update to fix it...it is at the dealer now. Major ****** off at Ford over this crap. It's clearly an issue and has been from day 1 and yet I get to pay for the update to fix it??

    EcoBoost Issues

    Took my 2018 Expedition in for leaking coolant...Ford finds the following: 1) Leaking Water Pump, Two Leaking Coolant Hoses 2) Failed VCT Unit 3) Software Update They want to charge me full labor price for hoses (650.00) and the software update (60.00) for a vehicle still under power train...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    Little update...took mine in to finally get this popping thing dealt with. The only annoying thing is they are charging me 60 bucks for a computer update...still under warranty. But I am so over it I would pay 200...sadly. Also...my water pump failed which is why its at the dealer in the...
