    2019 Expedition Max - Numerous Faults - Brakes

    Brake pedal must be pushed to enable start, even if it is a hard brake pedal. It does not need to depress a lot, just a little to activate the brake pedal switch. When you push the brake pedal, the green LED in the power button illuminates to indicate starting is enabled. If the green LED does...

    Possible Expedition Owner

    Are you buying new or used? Will make a lot of difference. If new, you've got the warranty coverage, but you might have some nits to take care of. After all, Japanese cars are pretty trouble free compared to domestic. We bought our 2020 MAX Limited 1.5 years ago with 72K miles and a "lifetime"...

    2020 Limited Almost No Acceleration when Cold

    Yea, there's a delay when putting in D. I usually wait until I feel the tranny engage (the engine RPM drops slightly) before hitting the gas pedal. I don't expect this heavy truck to respond like a sports car, so I'm just patient with it.

    Expedition Going into Deep Sleep - Battery Low

    I would not worry about leaving the car at the airport. The point of the battery management system is to sacrifice some convenience features to save the battery for the important job of starting the car. Besides, I'm sure the parking facility has a jump start pack in case of emergency anyway. Or...

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    Thanks for pointing it out!

    Expedition Going into Deep Sleep - Battery Low

    Very simple solution, assuming you have the patience: keep the Expy on a battery maintainer when parked. Assuming you have the facilities, when parking the car, pop the hood and connect up a maintainer. I connected a pigtail to my battery terminals so all I do is plug in the charger and forget...

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    Maybe I missed it, but what year/model/mileage on both cars? Yes, the Grand Wagoneer is more like the Navigator than the Expy, except maybe in Platinum Trim. I too followed the Wagoneer when it came out and was intrigued, but at launch there were so many hiccups, technical and production issues...

    3rd row seat not folding

    Are you trying this with the car off? One time, mine didn't go down until I started the engine and then it worked. It could be a weak 12V battery.

    Battery Life PSA

    FordPass App reports car going into PowerSave Mode. Same for Owner's Dashboard on Ford.com website. You lose Vehicle Location and other functions of the App. Just hook up the weak battery to a tender when parked. All functions return to Normal when battery returns to fully charged state.

    Help, I don’t want to have to get rid of!

    So, you're saying you press the hard brake pedal and press the power button, but all you get is battery on, not crank? As if you pressed the power button without touching the brake pedal? With the car at dealer, these suggestions will not do you any good, but: when you press the brake pedal, do...

    Battery or other question

    I don't think you said how old your car/battery was, but mine is a 2020, so 4 years on the original battery. We bought it December 2022 and my battery started doing this power save thing the day I purchased it. At first I didn't bother because it always started without any hesitation. The only...

    Edmunds Comparison

    A lot of this comes down to brand loyalty. We rode in a long wheelbase GMC Yukon(?) and I thought the ride was awful. At the time, Jeep only had the standard wheelbase, though I think that's corrected now.

    2019 New Owner Questions

    How many miles on her? Just change the rear diff lube. Have you tried drive mode gravel/grass/snow to see if there's a whine from the front diff too? In this mode, the front diff is always providing torque to the fronts. You can see it if you go to the off-road power distribution display.

    No complaints

    My first Ford was a 2001 Excursion 7.3 diesel. It rode like a buckboard. My first Expy was a used 2015 EL Limited 4x4 Towing with 110K miles. It was beat to sh*t and rode like it, bouncing like a roller coaster literally throwing passengers out of their seats! Traded it on our current 2020 MAX...

    Smaller Wheels for Softer Ride

    I live at 7,000 feet on the Palmer Divide and we got 14 inches yesterday! I have the factory 20's on mine and bought four new Kumho Crugen HT51 All-Season with 3-Peak Snowflake rating last summer. I never do off-road, but need good winter traction as our streets are in shade and keep ice until...

    Auto Start Stop Damage turbo's?

    On my car, if I don't keep the battery on a trickle charger, the AS/S will not engage due to battery charging. My drives are short, less than 20 miles one-way so driving never fully charges the battery. Kind of a poor man's AS/S delete!

    Glass lift gate unlatches sporadically

    Physical latch adjustment is out of whack. When you close the lift gate, is it snugly fitting with no movement? Perhaps it has been slammed a few times causing adjustment to go out of spec.

    Dial Shifter - Let Me Vent!

    I'll tell you what I like about the new shifter: because there's no physical connection between the shifter and the tranny, you don't have to move to P when you stop. Just stop the car with the brake pedal and press the Power button to shut off the engine. Voila, the system switches to P...

    2019 Expo XLT sways all over the place after hitting bumps

    Perhaps your car was in an undisclosed wreck that damaged the suspension/frame. My 2020 MAX Limited with 76K miles is stable as a rock. Couldn't be happier with stability and ride.

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    Our 2020 MAX Limited was delivered June 18, 2020. We bought it used Dec 7, 2022 with 72K miles on the clock. In the year since, we added 4.5K miles. In our year with the car, we have never experienced any rough shifting. There's no transmission maintenance mentioned in CARFAX. I definitely can...

    Won't start in negative temps

    That really sucks, of course, but I would just wait until everything thaws out, recharge the battery and try it again. That's all the dealer is going to do, and charge you for the towing and labor. Actually, your money would be better spent on a jump start pack like this, https://no.co/gb40...
