    Random hard shift followed by error message notice

    2018 max lim. Drove at about 50mph constant when vehicle suddenly ****** hard. Felt like a hard shift but recovered quickly. Shortly after a warning bell rang with a system fault notice - I didn’t catch the exact word while driving. Remaining 15 min of my drive went without issue. Vehicle...

    2018 Max Limited not cranking

    Cam phasers were replaced last week - vehicle felt good and drove well..... I thought. Saturday about noon I was going down a highway and stopped at an intersection. Autostart kicked in but the vehicle would not start, just cluttered on start attempt - no fun sitting on a busy road with cars...

    Grinding noise during startup

    If you keep it I assure you that at some point you will have to the cam phasers fixed. Did you get the extended warranty ? what dealer btw ?

    Grinding noise during startup

    I've had the same thoughts - these issues were known and should have been addressed. It seems chronic. What the vehicle offers as a total package is great but the amount off issues surpasses any previous vehicles I have owned and the list contains some serious crappy ones. I am probably an...

    Grinding noise during startup

    See my posts .. if you dare :) As others have stated, cam phasers. Mine is exactly the same and in the shop right now being fixed. If you drive it you might find that it won't start and flash a engine malfunction message. That is a related symptom. bummer I had mine 10 days and had to get a...

    2018 Max Limited not cranking

    Back again for the won't crank situation - after 4 days of dealer troubleshooting they found a problem with cam phasers that need to be replaced. Whatever ... biggest dud of a vehicle I ever owned. And that is on top of 3 ram trucks. At least they can also fix the faulty seat that won't fold...

    2018 Max Limited not cranking

    I documented a hefty transmission fix a while back. Had another issue this past weekend while out of town for a weekend get away. Vehicle towed my 3k lbs boat perfectly, better than my ram 5.7l and more fuel efficient. I was singing its praises. Next morning I had to run an early errand and...

    Aftermarket head unit for 4th gen?

    I cannot answer your question if there is an after market unit that retains all functionality and will be better than the factory install. I will say that it does not sound practical to do this. Is it just looks you after ? The sync 3 is very good compared to RAM in my opinion. I have a ram...

    2018 limited MAX breakdown.

    After 30 days with the dealer for repair I received the vehicle back. Transmission pump was replaced but not much explanation on what the cause of the issue was. I had to settle with: failures happen. Hopefully things improve from here, been a painful experience. First time I ever worked with a...

    3 Questions

    I’ll try number #2 I would imagine you are activating the foot sensor to close the rear hatch. I would not think that standing and unloading would trigger the sensor. Are you aware of the foot swipe function to close or open the rear hatch ? It requires a lifted foot swipe on either side of...

    2018 limited MAX breakdown.

    Quick update log on my Expedition woes. The vehicle has been in the shop longer than I owned it. I’ve discussed with the dealer about taking it back and I purchase new. They are not willing to share the cost of the initial sale. I didn’t have high hopes. This is my first used vehicle of 5 in the...

    2018 limited MAX breakdown.

    Received a warning message on my Ford app this morning. Attached. The dealer called a little while after. All they could tell me was that there certainly was something wrong. Due to repair backlog it might take up to 2 weeks to fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2018 limited MAX breakdown.

    I’ve had my new to me Max for about 2 weeks. It has 30k miles on it. It is a Ford Certified vehicle. I pulled away at a light and it ****** to a stop. Surprised the heck out of me. Though I was out of gas. I accelerated slowly and it did the same. Slight tire drag could be heard when it slows...
