    Recall Notice

    I too am fed up with Ford having a 2018 and 2019 with cam phaser, struts, shocks and transmission issues. I have a 2022 Yukon Denali that was shipped from the Arlington plant on April 1st and as of May 30th it is sitting in an open field in Midlothean, Texas awaiting some undisclosed...

    2022 Ford Expedition Stuck in Production

    Same, or worse, issues with GMC. I'm getting rid of my 2019 Expedition (most problem prone vehicle I have ever owned) and began the order process for a 2022 Yukon in June 2021. It finally started the production process in Fef/Mar 2022. Was completed around the end of March then sent to the...

    Who had success with dealership dealing with turbo rattle?

    After problems with cam phasers, struts and shocks as well as weird transmission shifts on a 2018 and 2019 I have a GMC Yukon diesel on order. Probably going from the frying pan to the fire as the GMCs are apparently rated pretty low for quality too but I'm through with Fords for the near...

    2018 Navigator getting 6th set of Cam Phasers.

    Mobile1 full synthetic for SUVs, no more than 6K miles - oil life gauge always shows a lot of life remaining. Motorcraft FL-500S filter. We jump in and drive, should be able to do that with a modern day car I would think. Also when we get to the store or for that matter, home, we shut it...

    Any problems with the 2019?

    I’m holding off on going up until after I get the rear shocks replaced under warranty. At that time I will allow the local dealer a chance to reimburse me for the cost of one strut and my rental car. Normally I would agree that burning the bridges is not good but at that point I will be done...

    Any problems with the 2019?

    I have a bit over 27K on mine. Continuing my saga, it was at the dealer Monday and Tuesday, was told “we will only replace 1 front strut and both rear shocks, but they are all backordered until 3rd week of June and oh by the way, you’re on your own for a rental car, we may be able to get you...

    Any problems with the 2019?

    I can’t wait to get rid of my 2019 XLT w/4WD and heavy duty tow package. Just like my 2018 before it, cam phasers went bad. Now awaiting backordered front strut (they will only replace the blown one) and 2 backordered rear struts. They’re saying 3-4 weeks before the parts come in. 2 bad...

    Aggravations, Ford's retained ownership.

    Another vote for hating the foot/liftgate feature. Never works when I want it to - ALWAYS works when it sees an opportunity to smack me in the head. I think it is actually a living thing and it hates me.

    MPG

    Towing a 21 foot 4500lb travel trailer at 62mph I am happy with 12.5 to 13 MPG. HOWEVER, I always pull into a strong headwind so it usually comes out to 10.5 to 11.5 MPG. If I travel south, wind is out of the south. If I travel north, wind is out of the north. I use 91-93 octane.

    Trim alignment.

    Our 2019 has trim on the driver’s side that makes me nuts. Gotta say that the color reflection is interesting too! LOL!

    Blind Spot Checking (BLIS) not enabled with Trailer

    I'm having the same issue ..... everything says I have done it all correctly but it doesn't work when the trailer is hooked up and selected - sometimes.

    Timing chain issues at 20k miles

    They replaced the timing chains on my 2019 with 19k while doing the cam phasers.

    Thoughts after first tow, and how fast do you tow?

    We tow our 4500lb travel trailer at about 62 mph. We use a Reese 66151 WDH with anti-sway incorporated and have never experienced any sway. Also, no need to unhook the 66151 when backing. It adds about 45 seconds to the hitch up time so I would consider it a pretty simple device. We avoid...

    Weight Distribution Hitch needed?

    Another vote of “Yes” for the WDH. We have a trailer similar to the OP - 21 feet and 4500lbs when fully loaded. When we hook up there is a little bit of sag in the back (rise in the front). If nothing else, the WDH will keep our headlights from blinding oncoming drivers because it levels...

    Engine Knocking/Ticking Noise Normal?

    Follow-up: Our 2019 Expedition with 16,700 miles on it just started the Cam Phaser rattle this week. Have an appointment to take it in next week. Service Dept said cam phasers shouldn’t be back ordered any longer. Has anyone else started having the issue with their 2019? I know it is...

    Engine Knocking/Ticking Noise Normal?

    We got into he Cam Phasers backorder issue too with our 2018 Expedition. Unfortunately we were 1100 miles from home and pulling our trailer. The dealer gave us a loaner but we had to proceed with our travels. “No, you cannot tow with the loaner and no you cannot leave Iowa with the...

    Unselecting Selected Trailer

    Thank you - will try this next time I tow. Doesn’t seem a whole lot easier than going through the menus as either way I have to remember to do something - sure wish it was automatic like it used to be.

    Unselecting Selected Trailer

    My apologies if there is already a thread on this but I couldn’t find one. I’ve become more and more annoyed with the towing feature that keeps track of trailer mileage. The poblem is that when I unhitch, it keeps tracking and adding to trailer miles even though no trailer is hooked up. My...

    Tire pressure monitoring system when rotating tires

    Great thread and thanks for the information. I just had mine rotated at Discount Tire - the guy told me that it could only be done with a special tool. Glad to see that there is in fact another method!

    Navigation Accuracy

    I’ve noticed that new (2 year old) roads in the San Antonio area are not incorporated in the GPS of our 2018 Expedition. Nott real happy about that for sure.

    Expedition Limited vs Platinum

    Yes, compared it to the Suburban. We occassionally have the need to put adults in the 3rd row. Simply cannot be done with a Suburban. I climbed into the back of a Suburban, sat down and immediately experienced severe claustrophobia with my knees jammed to my chest. I can sit comfortably...

    Looking to buy an Expedition for towing a travel trailer

    Fitzroy, we’re towing a 4500 lb 21’ Escape Travel trailer with a 2018 Expedition XLT Max 4WD. Don’t even know the trailer is back there EXCEPT that the gas mileage sucks. Getting 10.5-11 MPG. Got around 13.5 and sometimes better with a 2014 F-150 V-8 pulling the same trailer. We travel at...
