    Reduction in MPG

    I have seen vehicles that have the mileage drop and had one or more defective brake components causing brake drag (sticking caliper, sticking brake pads, internally collapsed brake hose, etc.). After a long drive, perhaps use your hand to feel each of the wheels to see if one is hotter than the...

    2018 Expedition Headlight assembly removal

    Ford is crazy for designing a vehicle that it is so difficult to replace a part such as this headlamp assembly. On my 2015 Expedition Limited, either headlamp assembly could be removed by removing two 10mm bolts, then pulling the headlamp assembly forward, then disconnecting the wiring harness...

    Gas gauge say 1/4 left. Computer Say 0 miles to empty. Who is correct?

    I would fill the fuel tank and determine how many gallons it takes - that will answer the question on zero KM to empty, or 1/4 tank left. I don’t know how to reset the gas calibration.

    Warranty start date

    I’m glad you had the matter resolved in your favor. I still would bet that the dealer placed the vehicle in service with the warranty start date in December 2024 to meet some type of sales goal or bonus for the vehicle.

    Rear View Mirror Wire Cover/Conduit

    This shield is shown to fit the 2008 - 2017 Expedition models. I ordered and bought a new 2015 Expedition Limited 4WD. The vehicle did not come with this shield. The mirror wiring harness was exposed and wrapped in tape. I thought the exposed harness looked cheap. All of my GM vehicles have...

    Throttle intermittent issue

    If I recall correctly, the TSB applied to the 2015 - 2017 Expedition models, with a specific code set. I don’t have a link to it. I was worried the TB would fail on my 2015 Expedition Limited based upon a lot of auto forum complaints about the TB for those years. I drove it 119,xxx miles and...

    Throttle intermittent issue

    Ford had issued a TSB a long time ago involving potentially defective throttle body units (not a safety recall), which involved replacing the unit. You may want to clean the inside of the throttle body and/or consider changing it with a new Motorcraft unit? Here is a link to a video on how to...

    AC problems

    A long shot. Have you checked to see if all fuses and relays are fully seated in their slot for all electrical junction boxes? On my 2015 - there was one box on top of the radiator - just under the hood. Sun and heat could cause one or more to expand or contract, and not make full contact?

    AC problems

    Does the a/c system compressor not run AND the HVAC blower motor not run when this happens, or only the blower motor? Do you have rear air? Does the rear blower motor run when this happens? A defective blower motor speed control (resistor unit) usually only affects the front HVAC blower...

    Powertrain control module software update - 26E04

    Some dealerships provide good customer service - and will make money from the service recall. They are hoping to keep you as a customer.

    Warranty start date

    Best wishes. Keep us updated. I suspect the dealer may have placed the vehicle in service to earn some type of sales quota before the end of the month or year? I’d bet there is more to the dealer’s story. In my state (Ohio), “MSO” is typed in the space for the former title when the vehicle...

    Warranty start date

    Ford and GM starts their new-vehicle warranties based upon the “in-service date”. The in-service date is when a customer (individual or business) buys the vehicle (cash or credit) and takes delivery of the vehicle. Note that you could buy a new vehicle, then leave it at the dealer for some...

    headliner repair

    I have not done a headliner repair - but would suggest contacting an auto upholstery shop to see if they would patch it. New / used car dealers often use mobile interior repair mechanics for vinyl, leather and cloth repair and recoloring. I you know anyone at a car dealer - you may want to ask...

    I would return the vehicle to the servicing dealer to be repaired properly under the recall.

    Comprehensive auto insurance covers glass breakage - including the sunroof glass (minus your deductible), and it does not penalize you for filing the claim.

    Do your homework. AWD is different that 4WD (high or low).

    Anything to look for?

    I’d suggest buying a Ford Extended Service Plan. Repairs are crazy-expensive.
