    Phone slipping off wireless charging pad

    My ‘18XLT charger has the lip. I have a new iphone SE with no case. Always stays on my charger pad. The problem may be your Otter case

    Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

    I wonder if there are different versiins of HankooksI loved the OEMs on my ‘18 XLT so much I bought new ones after 45,000 miles. No rain or light snow problems.

    2018!Failed right front wheel bearing

    I have owned multiple Expeditions over the years. No problems. Just had right front wheel bearing on 2018 XLT fail at 52,000 miles. Dealer has never seen this. Anyone have this experience?

    Thinking of getting a 2016-2017 expedition with V6 - how are they compared to the older V8 5.4 Liter models?

    I have had several Expys all bought new with Triton V8. Now have a 2018 XLT with V6. No comparison V6 is hands down better. More power, better gas mileage etc

    2018 42K Miles 3rd set of Phasers

    My previous Expedition Trton V8 had clicking due to phasers. Dealer suggested using Ford synthetic oil. Clicking disappeared and did not recur for the additional five years i owned the vehicle. Now have a 2018 with 42,000 miles. No phaser issues so far.

    Top Tier Gas

    I have had the same Ford service manager for 20+ years. He has consistently recommended top tier gas for our Expys. We keep them well past 120,000 miles and have had no problems.

    Life gate automatically opened, car lights flashing

    I had this on our 2018 XLT Expy. Took it to dealer multiple times before they fixed. They said it was “a faulty relay”. The kick to open stopped working after the fix. I also have the popping outside mirror problem.

    Rear Hatch "misbehaving" -- anyone else have this problem?

    I had the same problem with my ‘18. Dealer fixed it, but the kick to lift no longer works. Small price to pay to avoid getting hit by hatch

    Eco Mode

    I use Eco all the time. I assume that changes the shift algorithm to stay in a higher gear as long as possible. No jack rabbit starts. I find it downshifts aggressively when passing on 2 lane roads.

    2017 engine ticking noise

    Is yours a Triton V8? I heard clicking on mine. Service said likely cam phaser. I had been using Pennzoil at Jiffylube. Service said change to Motorcraft synthetic. Clicking stopped and did not return for next 25k until I traded it.

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    Mine did both up and down by itself. Realized it was Not related to kick feature. Ford finally acknowledged their is a problem with a relay on some Expeditions. Dealer replaced the relay and the problem disappeared. Talk to your dealer.

    When to purchase extended warranty

    We have owned Fords since 1978. Have never regretted not buying extended warranty. Ours have been very reliable.

    Adaptive cruise control

    I thought most of the slow down with adaptive cruise control was done by engine braking. If so, brake lights will not come on.
