    Small coolant leak….

    Hi all, I’ve attached a pic of a small coolant leak discovered using UV dye on my 2018 Expy. It’s been pretty intermittent with an about a 1/3 cup found under the truck one day a couple of weeks ago and then nothing since. My OCD so t let it go‍♂️. I had a tranny overheat issue in April...

    Hey expecrap, Did you ever figure out what was leaking. I too have an intermittent puddle that shows up at the front of the vehicle.

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    Follow up: Dealership stood behind their service and agreed to pay everything except the refund on the initial transmission service cost of $675 stating that they are honoring the warranty, express and implied. I actually agreed with that explanation. Everything else though tow, lost salary...

    Trans dipstick screw in

    I’ve been down this road and there is nothing out there to make it possible to check the transmission fluid level easily. After just having the dealership overfill my tranny by a lot which resulted in overheat and fluid hemorrhaging from the relief vent I can testify there are no warning...

    Engine Temp gauge has large temperature swings in seconds between 205 and 226 degrees

    Not serviced directly... The transmission overheated due to being overfilled which cause an engine temp spike. I wonder if the coolant boiled and produced air pockets….I will try to bleed any air out this evening. Still open to any other ideas. Thanks

    Engine Temp gauge has large temperature swings in seconds between 205 and 226 degrees

    2018 Expedition XLT Max. I just recovered from a tranmission overfill / overheat issue thanks to negligent dealer service. Now the electronic engine temp gauge in the cluster swings from 226 degrees on the high end to 205 degrees, spiking lower sometimes to 198 degrees on the low end within...

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    My thoughts too would be small claims if they fail to reimburse me. I have sent a reimbursement demand with accompaning reciepts today with a demand for reimbursement within 10 days via check. There were other incidentals that I couldn't be bothered with like my time to return to Phoenix to...

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    In March 13, 2023 I took my 2018 Expedition XLT Max to the dealership for transmission filter and fluid change at 45633 miles. Early I know but I don't have confidence in lifetime fluids and I want to keep this truck in my life for many years. I noticed 4 drops of tranny fluid on the garage...

    2019 less than 11000 miles and 3 out of 4 shocks leaking?

    The only differences between the year models as of now is mostly cosmetic upgrades. Body and equipment issues from 2018 on seem to be universal.

    Engine Oil Life Reset Function Missing

    I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that CS at ForScan assisted me within 24hrs to locate the right setting and enable the “Oil Life Reset” function in my IPC. Very responsive and helpful. ForScan is the bomb for setting your vehicle up the way you want it and enable the functions...

    Engine Oil Life Reset Function Missing

    I have a 2018 Expedition and just changed the oil and the Oil Life Reset button is missing. Can’t find it any any sub menus engine on or in accessories. The last thing I did was add global window open/shut from the key fob with ForScan and I’m wondering if the menu icon was replaced with the...

    3.5L EcoBoost Engine Lube

    I use Mobil 1, change it as I approach 5k miles usually at about 4500 miles. 2018 XLT, no cold start up issues..... yet, less than 19000 miles and will do my fourth oil change this week. I don’t think the type of oil is the problem, it’s the gunked up passage ways, stopping or delaying...

    2018 Engine Replaced

    I would rather see a report on long term quality. Initial quality surveys are done before the new car honeymoon is over. Many at the top of the initial quality list turn to crap after 100k miles. Not defending Ford, but I don’t see the value of Initial Quality survey results and I certainly...

    Feeling “baited and switched” from Berkeley Ford in SC

    Cancel the deal and wait 3 months. Ford will be begging people to buy their rigs. Also check the rental companies vehicle sales sites as they are desperate to sell too. They’ll be even more desperate come October.

    Limp in mode, dreaded wrench! Hill start assist, e braking, drive mode unavailable,

    Get your phone and video each time it happens. Describe on the video where you are, what specifically is happening. Video the dash and any warning lights and error messages that appear. Show video to service writer and demand repair. If they give you the runaround demand to see service manager.

    JLT 3.0 install 2019 MAX

    I’ve had my JLT in for a month. Not a lot of driving, but some, bone dry. To me that’s good, means the EGR system is working. I was expecting immediate results of finding oil in the can. I put a similar catch can in my wife’s 2014 Sonata which is just direct injected and she drives to work every...

    TSB 19-2162 Power Liftgate Opens And/Or Closes Uncommanded While In PARK

    This happened yesterday and hit my wife in the head. We were unloading pizzas for the hospital she works at. I assumed her foot accidentally activated the tailgate....I will put it on the list of stuff for the next warranty service.

    Oil catch can for a ‘19 MAX Limited?

    I put one on my 2018. If I’m worried about it I’ll take the JLT plug and play can off, replace the factory hose and take it in for warranty.
