I just purchased a new 2022 expedition 4x4 xlt beginning of March, I have noticed it seems to have a very slight vibration when in park and seem to be very stiff with intermittent vibration when driving. Feels like I ran over road treads without the noise. Happens intermittently, has anyone else experienced this?

I hope I am not insulting your intelligence with this question, but my first thought (at least while driving) is the lane departure vibration. You can set it to vibrate and alert, or vibrate only and it exactly replicates the rumble strips. I find that mine can be pretty sensitive and go off even when I am well within the lines, but maybe a little too close to one or the other. The next time you experience the vibration, look at the dash on the bottom right and see if you have two red lines that indicate the lane departure warning. That may be way too easy an explanation and not the cause, but could be it.

I though that too and have that feature turned off, also it occurs in park. It’s very slight, just enough to notice and feel uneasy about. I only have 1400 miles on it.

If it happens in park, and it's enough you can feel it, it has to be engine movement. What else could cause that? Maybe watch the engine while idling and see if it moves more than it should?

2022 Timberline, I get that too. It feels like a really rough idle for 5-15 seconds and then stops. If you are outside of the vehicle you can hear some sort of thing kicking on when it does it. It’s very disturbing. The 2022’s are piles of crap.

Report to dealer. Let Them document and look it over on the warranty end. CYA

That said. mine did a little of that too. They’ll break in and settle down. The whines and vibrations…and smells are gone soon

I also thought maybe some of what I'm feeling is the tires. It has Hankook Dynapro all terrains on now, I was thinking switching to an all season tire may help with road roughness some? When you say yours settled down, how long did that take? Thanks for your reply!

in my opinion, Hankooks are junk. I guess I got lucky the plant threw General on mine, I don’t love them.

Im thinking it was around 5000 miles maybe less when it wasn’t brought up anymore.

With a new vehicle we become hyper alert to things. combine that with ignorance and high expectations we start building a case in our heads. All I know is my personal experience. or really my wife's experience, she didnt want to drive it a year ago. every click, shutter and vibration and new sound. All those concerns and questions are gone, she drives it every day. I suppose her and “Red” have gotten used to each other.

I’ve learned a lot here on the forums.

I can’t say I experienced what you are describing but was not satisfied with ride. At 1700 miles I had the Generals replaced with Michelin Defender LTX/MS tires. I like the ride a lot better now considering the 22 inch rims.
