    Front USB Ports Not Working

    The ports were working for the past six months but stopped working this past week. They charged and had data for CarPlay. Was hoping someone on the forums had an easy fix I could do instead of taking it to the dealership. I now have an appointment with the dealership to have it checked out later...

    Front USB Ports Not Working

    The two front USB ports in my Expedition are lit but they do not work when I plug in a USB power cable. Has anyone had this issue before?

    Tire pressure at 45 pounds

    I have the CCD suspension and have mine at 39PSI cold. It is a lot more comfortable.

    High Water Issues?

    Thank you for the advice. Will likely go this route.

    High Water Issues?

    Not really. Houston is mostly flat.

    High Water Issues?

    I live in Houston and had to drive through a flooded area today that was somewhat deep. Do you guys have any recommendations on what to check or replace? Does anyone know what costs are to replace transmission fluid and is it necessary? Thanks in advance.

    Disable 2nd and 3rd Row Seatbelt Airbags

    The LATCH seat anchors vary by brands, but usually are limited to 35 to 50 pounds before needing to switch to seatbelts.

    Disable 2nd and 3rd Row Seatbelt Airbags

    Great. I'll look into the Britax Frontier. Thank you for all the info.

    Something funny, but not.

    If you're near Houston, I remember seeing there were a few sets of the OEM 22" with new tires on Craigslist for around $3,000.

    Disable 2nd and 3rd Row Seatbelt Airbags

    Thank you for the advice! What are your thoughts on the Clek Foonf and the Diono RXT seats?

    Something funny, but not.

    I have a Platinum with CCD and agree with you on the bounciness. I absolutely do not like the CCD suspension and would prefer a standard setup!

    Disable 2nd and 3rd Row Seatbelt Airbags

    Aporthole, oldest child is 25lbs and youngest is 15lbs. I have the Nuna Rava that I'm mainly worried about. I also have the Nuna Pipa and the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 but I'll likely transition kids to the Rava well before they reach 35lbs. Thanks in advance!

    Disable 2nd and 3rd Row Seatbelt Airbags

    Is it possible to disable the seatbelt airbags in the 2nd and 3rd rows? I am using those rows for infant seats that are not compatible with airbag seatbelts. Currently using LATCH but will need to switch to seatbelt soon as weight is getting closer to the LATCH limit. Thanks in advance.

    Duct Tape Under Expedition From Factory

    Purchased new Audis, Mercedes, and Toyotas and never had this issue. This is my first Ford though and have had more issues in these first three months than my previous 5 cars combined. Thankfully the Ford extended warranties are so cheap.

    Thanks for the responses. Glad to know it's normal.

    Duct Tape Under Expedition From Factory

    Has anyone found parts under their Expeditions duct taped? I saw something hanging under my Expedition today and looked under and was surprised to see a whole piece duct taped. The Expedition was purchased 3 months ago, has less than 4,000 miles, and only this dealership has touched it. I...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    I've noticed brake fade during some medium to medium heavy braking with 5-6 passengers and without towing. I do think that the 95F Texas heat contributes to the issue somewhat but am not entirely sure how much. Rotors and calipers seem very pricey. What pads would be better? How much more dust...

    Bouncy CCD Suspension

    Glad to see I’m not the only one. How many miles do you have on your Expedition?

    Transmission Clunk 3rd Gear

    Do you notice anything on your 5th to 6th or 6th to 7th shift on cold mornings?

    Transmission Clunk 3rd Gear

    That sounds very similar to what I have. I took it into the dealer and they lubricated and tightened a portion of the driveshaft and it helped somewhat but the sound is not completely gone. Could you update us when you have the dealer take a look at yours?

    Bouncy CCD Suspension

    Our 2018 Expedition with CCD is a dream on the highway but seems to be very bouncy on local bumpy roads. It is almost as if the springs are too strong for the damper, causing the suspension to do several cycles before settling. Some regular road bumps feel as if we are being launched off of our...

    A/C blows lukewarm air

    I had the same issue with my 2018 before I even drove it off the lot. Front AC worked fine but rear AC was warm even after 30 minutes of running on maximum. There is a TSB (#18-2293) for this issue. Tech had to clear the refrigerant, replace a hose and rear climate control assembly, then put...

    Transmission Clunk 3rd Gear

    It was initially making a loud clunk so I brought it into the dealership to have it checked out. Dealership wrote it is "caused by a slip/stick condition at the transmission output shaft flange/anti-ting ring interface." They lubed and checked torque on parts and then returned the Expedition...

    Urgent matter from potential buyer

    I was in the same boat as you comparing large SUVs to minivans a few months ago. I can't speak much to the longevity of the Expedition, but coming from other car brands, I was surprised at how low the Ford extended warranties are priced. Some information to help cut down your paranoia - I...

    Brake Upgrade Options

    I've noticed the brakes on the Expedition are not as effective as my other vehicles and has what sometimes feels like slight brake fade during regular braking. I'm wondering if this is common and if there are any known upgrade options (big brake kit, pads, etc) that other owners have done...
