    Need Help

    Interesting...I don't have an answer for you but when Walmart installed a battery in my '18 Max Plat, I noticed 2 things. Before the install, I never had to manually deactivate the auto on-off engine start on the dash...it was already disabled. Not anymore. Secondly, Lane Departure was totally...

    Smart Key Fob Programming

    Thanks, for all the responses. You confirmed what I thought about the situation. As far as there being 2 fobs out there somewhere that can open my car, I'm not too worried. I got the car from Texas, and I'm in Ohio.

    Smart Key Fob Programming

    2018 Expy Plat Max. I only have 2 fobs and want to program a 3rd, but Ford stops me in my tracks, saying a max of 4 is allowed. I have the extra fob hardware. Apparently, the prev owner had programmed all 4. Aside from taking it to a dealer so they can RIP me off to use Forscan to erase the 2...

    Headrest DVD Evo 5 Connection to Sync 3

    Hello, I have a 2018 Ford Expy Max Plat. with the EVO 5 headrest monitor and I have not been able to connect the BlueTooth from the RSE Evo 5 to the Sync 3 System up front. My goal is to play sound from a EVO DVD in the headrest and pipe it through the car stereo so everyone can hear the audio...

    Complete newbie looking for 40k Expedition - tell me what I should know?

    I bought a used 2018 loaded Platinum and had the dealer send me the repair history of the vehicle prior to purchase. One thing I would make sure of is that those original cam phasers have been replaced with the new, upgraded version. If you don't have a warranty, you're looking at 3 grand or...

    Another dead battery

    Appreciate the post. During the winter, primarily under 30 degrees and although my Expy is garaged, the battery has died several times. I do not drive it reguarly, so, if I don't start it daily, it tends to do this. The battery tests fine, and always recharges adequately when I put it on the...

    Help me find the right trim!

    I have an '18 Max Platinum HDTow with 22" wheels , ccd and 105 K. Still drives like a dream (a good dream) both Hwy and city. I always drive in Normal. Had a Yukon Denali before....no comparison. Whatever my current equipment package is I have currently, I'm not changing.

    Anyone know what the lemon law buyback process is like?

    Just keep the mirrors out all the time. I have a 2018 Max, and it has an option to disable the auto fold functionality. I've always thought that's a repair waiting to happen, having those mirrors fold in everytime you turn the engine off.

    2023 ford expedition max limited problems

    Good that you purchased that extended warranty. We called my former Expo the "Warranty Crusher". You can bet that if you hadn't, the stealership would have been able to replicate every problem under the sun when that clock turned 1 mile over the 36 K.

    What causes rocker panels on 3rd Gen to rust out? Any preventative maintenance to avoid this?

    We use lots of road salt up here in the winter when it snows, which causes the rust. Rust never sleeps. regularly clean and apply a protective coating like an undercarriage spray or wax, ensure proper drainage by keeping drain holes clear, install mud flaps to minimize debris impact, and...

    24’ expedition ride quality

    I bought a used, 2018 Limited without CCD and 22 inchers but did not like the ride. Was thinking about going with a smaller wheel, but decided just to sell it after 6 months. After reading about the CCD, I then bought a 2018 Platinum Expy, loaded to the hilt, with 22 inchers/ Michelin Defenders...

    Panoramic Sunroof - Preventive maintenance

    My advice: Don't use it. Another cash cow for the Ford service department, just like the deployable running boards. The more you use it, the quicker it breaks...

    Door Keypad upgrade?

    Same thing developed with my Taurus. Had a heck of a time getting those codes punched in properly to open the doors. After a few years, I finally noticed that the top of the B Pillar had slightly separated from its adhesive, leaving a small gap in the area. I then noticed that when I held the...

    Side mirror not locked into position and causing it to fold going down the road

    Another item on Ford's cash cow service list. A power mirror assembly will take care of that, but those are expensive. Like the Deployable running boards, they are prone to repair. As you know, the big profit for Ford lies in its repair services, not in sales. They don't call them "Stealerships...
