Recieved new 2018 for Christmas. about 3000 miles. All kind of gremlins are developing. Side mirrors go nuts. Rear lift gate opens when back doors are open or closed. Alarms go off in middle of night no reason. Any ideas. Last Expedition was 2008 had it for 10 years without issues. Love the new one just wish we could get rid of gremlins.

Welcome to the site.
Ever figure out what was wrong with the Expy?

No, took it to dealer and asked them to check out the items. They said nothing was wrong that the side mirrors were just adjusting themselves? Otherwise they found nothing because they couldnt reproduce the items which still happen when not at the dealership. Asked them to just disconnect the auto back lift gate so we could would just do it by hand, but they said it wasn't possible.
Now have 5000 miles on it and the incidents are becoming less frequent but still there on occasion.

Ive noticed that a lot of service stations are kinda lazy in the since that theyre not gonna chase the issue. Unfortunately, your truck is a fiest run so its gonna have a lot of issues. Got mines and the seat ripped in the first 100 mi. Ive seen the mirror issue twice but i dnt have the easy entry feature on so i think it helps a bit. I think they will most likely go away but if they dont, id trade for a 19 when they come out. Those issues should darn near be gone on a late run 18 or 19
