    4th Gen Maintenance Questions

    Oil changes are important on direct injection gasoline engines. Fuel dilution can occur which will lower the viscosity of the oil and can harm internal components. I never wait for the factory light to go off, I try to change the oil every 5,000 miles. Make sure if you do your own oil changes to...

    Think wheel bearings are starting to fail

    If it is a wheel bearing on an open road with no traffic or a parking lot go the speed where the noise is noticeable and you can turn the wheel hard enough to transfer the weight to the failing wheel bearing and it should get louder. You done need to turn the wheel hard, but enough to get the...

    No Limited Slip Differential : What's the impact on Towing?

    2020 eLSD came standard with the heavy duty tow package. In 2021 ford made it an $1,100 add on option with I believe they call control-trac eLSD limited slip 3.73. I had to ensure when I picked my wife's 2021 up that it had the option, when I was looking for her 2020 I was looking for the pro...

    When you should have bought a max

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    My biggest complaint from me is that Ford needs to listen to the customers, we know what's normal and what is not. To tell us stuff is normal when it is not is unacceptable. There is no reason our vehicles should have a rattle sound when it is idling like a piece of metal is going to fall...

    Better luck this time? 2020 traded for 2021

    This was my complaint about our brand new one I drove off the lot. Its going to the body shop on Friday, I will let you know what they say. I told the ford customer service rep I thought maybe someone wasn't feeling well at the Kentucky assembly line or it was built on a Friday right before...

    Better luck this time? 2020 traded for 2021

    I use armor shield and couldn't be happier with their product. Just take the time to follow the write ups and get the car looking pristine before you hit it with the ceramic. I will post pictures before and after once they get our vehicle back to us and I have time to get it done. I seriously...

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    My door is misaligned almost the same exact way you are stating. I let the dealer know about it when I picked it up as I had my 2020 sitting right beside the new one and I was checking things over. It took me 2 hours on the phone with Ford for them to acknowledge amd set me up with a body shop...

    Better luck this time? 2020 traded for 2021

    it must scare them off because every time I go hunting nothing is around. If you search these forums someone said they found a fix for it that you can do yourself.

    2022 hd tow package

    I have the heavy duty tow package with eLSD on a 2021 expedition max platinum, my mother has a platinum non heavy duty tow package and they rode exactly the same. I bought this vehicle to also be a utility vehicle and I wanted the heavy duty radiator and extra features the towing package...

    No Limited Slip Differential : What's the impact on Towing?

    This is just my personal opinion, but I think it was a horrible idea to remove the eLSD option from vehicles with the heavy duty tow package. I just traded my wife's 2020 expedition to a 2021 and I had to ensure it had the $1,100 option as I wanted the option to lock it. Most towing you will...

    Better luck this time? 2020 traded for 2021

    With the deals going on and the equity I had in the used one we traded up to a 2021 platinum max and things are not getting off to a good start. My wife wanted a particular white expedition max and with that being said there were only a handful left in the country. The new addition to the...

    When you should have bought a max

    Don't regret not having a max. I wish I took a picture of our max... 3 kids and my wife packing practically the whole house I almost was half tempted to just pull a trailer. The extra room behind the 3rd row is nice for smaller stuff, but it isn't as big as you would think and usually it ends...

    Think wheel bearings are starting to fail

    Why would you replace it yourself when it is under warranty? FYI I will tell you one thing that will cause wheel bearings to fail prematurely which is over torquing the wheel lug nuts. I've seen a car go through 4 sets of wheel bearings with 3 years, when I got the vehicle and serviced it...

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    Had a 2020 platinum max that was pretty good for the most part. It had a very noticeable rattle coming from the waste gate actuators. Took it in and Ford did nothing. It literally sounded like a heatshield on a Kia rattling around especially when we went through drive-thrus. For an 80,000 it is...

    Ticking noise

    80,000 dollar cars and they sound like a Kia with a heat shield rattle, this is completely unacceptable. I'm going to Ford soon for this issue as well as the loud ticking on startup. This is absolute garbage and the responses from Ford dealers aren't going to work on me. I'm not holding the...

    20k review with issues i have noticed

    It has been 20,000 since I bought this vehicle brand new and these are the list of things I have noticed with this vehicle. - horrible rattle at idle speeds / slow speeds coming from the turbo waste gate linkage from what I have researched. - transmission occasionally downshifts/shifts up and...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    I also park far away, problem is I work out of town away from home for a month at a time and my wife has 3 small kids one being a newborn. It irritates me when she parks around other people, but I know I can't expect her to walk alone all the way from the back of the lot. Was hoping there is...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    Hello all, Does anyone else have the problem with their doors getting dents from people next to you opening their car door on your expedition? Looking to see if anyone can recommend a body side moldings that will take the impact instead of the panels. I have a 2020 expedition max platinum...

    2020 Max platimum Front Camera Image Dark

    If I have to smack an 80,000 dollar car for something to work, I am going to get rid of it. Completely unacceptable, issue should have never occurred in the first place.

    Park aid malfunction

    My wife's expedition had this error when we were on vacation with it. I was driving and all of a sudden out of nowhere it gave me a message like yours. I had a bile rack on the back and a golf cart riding our bumper when going through the campground. I couldn't make any sense out of it. I shut...

    Audio Noises - Anyone else?

    Hello all! Just wanted to mention something I just noticed the past couple days. On startup the audio makes a popping noise like when you plug a guitar into an amp. Sounds like a slight crackle immediately followed by a loud pop noise. Second issue I noticed at the same time the audio noise...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    Viper I have the same exact issue on a 2020 expedition platinum with 7,000 miles on it. Told my wife it al lost sounded like a heat shield rattling. Does unplugging the wastegate actuator throw any codes? I also noticed that the waste gate actuator is moving in and out slowly when the vehicle...

    First time Ford owner

    Thank you for the welcome, it has been a very interesting career change. I enjoy it quite a bit, but do miss the days of figuring out issues with vehicles. Hoping this Expedition and EcoBoost give our family many years and miles of enjoyment.

    Clunking when vehicle is put into neutral

    You guys are awesome, as soon as I read what you posted from the manual I immediately remembered the press OK button to stay in neutral allows you to open the door and will not automatically shift to park. I am taking it in soon for an oil change, I will post what I find out regarding the...
