    Driver Recall Issues

    My '18 Limited previously underwent repairs for the clicking/popping side view mirrors problem. Things were working well after that. Lately, however, as my wife (Driver 1) and I (Driver 2) enter the vehicle after the other was the last one driving, the driver recall function doesn't always get...

    Cold Start Rattle (Again)

    My '18 Limited had the cam phasers replaced awhile back. Symptom at the time was the oft-reported "cold start rattle". After repairs, the rattle went away. Sometime between then and now, the "cold start rattle" returned. However, from the various threads on this forum and according to the...

    Question about 4WD Auto characteristics

    Initially, my problem was in 4WD and under stress/load only (going uphill and/or towing). Over time, the symptoms grew more noticeable and were present in 2WD as well, even on flat ground and without any stress/load. It was that pattern that ultimately led to the front diff being replaced...

    Question about 4WD Auto characteristics

    That's the interesting thing about the uphill test I outline above...I hear/feel these vibrations/grinding even with constant speed, constant angle of ascent, steady steering (i.e., driving straight), dry smooth pavement, constant gear, etc. And, previously those symptoms (albeit more...

    Question about 4WD Auto characteristics

    I experienced a problem awhile back where my '18 Limited w/ HD Tow Pkg began making a grinding/rubbing sensation. Initially it was limited to 4A and when under load (driving uphill and/or towing), but got worse over time to the point where the symptoms could be felt/heard even in 2H and on...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    Yep, was told by dealer "they" (there's more than one in these cars?) are being replaced - waiting on parts. After consulting with the regional service rep, they're going to keep the car and put some miles on it after replacing to try and see what else may pop up and need addressing.

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    You can disable the power liftgate through settings, but that completely disables the power, so you have to pull it open and push it closed. To do that you can find the setting here (search within for liftgate)...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    Finally got a call last Friday that the repairs to the fuel injector had been made and the car had been thoroughly inspected/tested and was good to go. Picked it up from the dealer's lot Saturday. Drove it about 3 miles home. Then, drove it about 4 miles on my way to run some errands before...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    I interpret the whole prorated repair coverage thing as an admission Ford knows this issue will never go away. If Ford had a fix they truly had faith in, they could easily risk warrantying the repair work unconditionally (and earn a great deal of customer respect /loyalty in the process, I'd...

    2020 Expy Limited: missed shifts

    I've encountered similar situations going up or down hills resulting a really harsh SLAM. I've complained about it on several service visits to the dealer and have gotten nowhere. I do believe I've come across threads on this forum where others have complained of similar sounding experiences...

    PCM software recall

    Sorry for the tangent, but in case it's helpful to @BMW2FORD... I encountered a situation with my '18 Limited where I'd feel a rhythmic, surging/pulsing when under load (like towing a trailer or going up a hill) and in 4WD. It was easily reproducible by finding a steep grade in a residential...

    PCM software recall

    When I brought my '18 Limited to the dealer recently for what I suspect to be "cam phasers round 2" (had them previously repaired, but the dreaded "cold start rattle" has returned), I asked about the cam phaser software update. The dealer told me the software update is intended to reduce...

    2020 Limited too Bouncy

    The ride on my '18 Limited has become worse with time. "Bouncy" or "boat-like" is the only way to describe the current ride quality. I've brought this up to the dealer on several of my recent service visits. The previous time I had it in and and complained about it, the tech left some notes...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    I would describe it as "crank no-start" as shown in this video at around 2:40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjK31lqJWkA The amount of time spent cranking on each failed start attempt was consistent. Something like 5-10 seconds (I didn't pay close attention, but could tell it was some...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    More clarity on that... - My wife said she only tried starting it 1x. - I arrived on scene within about 30-40 min's. I smelled faint fuel odor (and slight burning/melting smell) at that time when standing near back of car. - Tow truck arrived about 1 hour after that. - Tow driver tried...

    2020 Expedition up in flames

    Reviving an old thread here, apologies... As I posted here in a different thread, our car recently went into limp mode and has a fuel injector port stuck open that managed to dump enough fuel that it came leaking out the muffler. Thinking about that much fuel making its way around/throughout...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    Just under 24k miles. Off the top of my head I can't recall if the fuel filter has been changed. Why do you ask? Thank you for all the suggestions. I'm making a list of talking points for further conversations with the dealer.

    My dealer said they haven't seen many.

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    Just received word from the dealer... Cause of the fuel leakage is exactly as @Fastcar suggested: Stuck open fuel injector (cylinder 6 to be specific). Good call @Fastcar! (I relayed them your comments, btw. So, thank you very much for throwing it out there.) As to whether or not the stuck...

    Gift card from Ford?

    In my case, no. We're a couple months shy of our 3 year anniversary (and scarily, the end of the mfr warranty period) with our '18 Limited. We've put just under 24k miles on it. We've had the car serviced multiple times for multiple issues, some minor, some major, some repeats of the same...

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    I only got a brief look before the tow pulled away. The only thing I could tell was the fuel was dripping from the exhaust system just in front of the passenger-rear tire. I've circled that area in the attached diagram. But, that's just where it was dripping from the car to the tow bed, no...

    Gift card from Ford?

    I think it's pretty funny I got one of the $250 cards within the past few days. Today, the '18 Expy Limited went into limp mode (adding to the already long list of outstanding issues). Coincidence? Or, extremely well executed plan by Ford to mess with my head?!?!?

    Limp Mode, Fuel Leak, Burning Smell, & Neutral Tow

    Our '18 Expedition Limited went into limp mode today while my wife was driving to pick the kids up from school. After parking (post limp mode) to retrieve one of the kids, the car wouldn't start again. It cranked, but wouldn't turn over. When I first arrived on scene, I smelled a faint odor...
