    Strange hum from rear of '17 Expy Limited

    Thanks for all the replies. I took it to the Ford dealer last week and had them do a thorough check and test drive. They found nothing wrong or of concern. So I guess tires is a logical choice next. Not sure whether to do a rotation or just balance on rear tires. At least I don't have to worry...

    Strange hum from rear of '17 Expy Limited

    I purchased a 2017 Expedition 2 years ago and it is the greatest vehicle we have ever owned. We now have 81K on it and it performs excellent except for one small problem that showed up after a brake job. The brake job consisted of new pads and rotors all around and cost $700 at a small garage...

    I ran my heat on high for 15 mins today and hope I am on the road to resolution. Thank you.

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    bobmbx I leave my heat/ac on auto at 70 most of the time. Are you saying to kick up the set temp as high as it will go and run it for 15 minutes?

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    I have about 70K miles and I've noticed recently I get a nasty smell (like cow manure) when it first starts but then it dissipates. Any ideas what it is and how to get rid of it?

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    16Plati, I did what DD suggested to try and make the bulb assemblies lock in. I look forward to your video.

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    I ground off as much plastic as I dared and the bulb assembly would still not go in far enough to allow twisting. Called DD and they are taking them back and issuing a refund. Good folks to deal with.

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    I am so bummed out. I received my DD LED bulbs and immediately took them to my '17 Expy to install. They would not lock in. I tried and tried but no luck. It appears as though the dimension between the bottom of the locking tabs and the top of the plastic base is just a little too short. I know...

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    I contacted two more Ford dealers today and asked about upgrading from halogen to HID headlights. The first service manager was a little baffled and ended up saying I would spend an arm and a leg if I had him do it and recommended an aftermarket shop. The second service manager said he would not...

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    Thanks everyone for your replies and experiences. I'm weighing between LED and HID and hope to decide soon. I'm 71 and assume this is something I can do myself. I was in electronics for about 20 years or so.

    2017 Expy Can you upgrade from halogen to HID headlights

    I had a 2014 F150 with HID headlights before trading on a 2017 Expedition with halogen headlights. I really liked the brightness of the HID headlights. I've seen kits available to upgrade but I was at the local Ford dealer today and asked the service manager about upgrading and he basically said...

    Programming buttons not working

    Good idea Jeff, but no spillage. I could understand that. However, I bought it used a year ago so maybe before I bought it something happened. Also another freak incident about a month ago. We were heading out to look at a house for sale in the boondocks. I was using gps and we were about 3/4 of...

    Programming buttons not working

    24 hours later. Every thing seems to be working. Now I'm really puzzled and thinking it's some sort of software issue. I'll keep my eye on it for a while.

    Programming buttons not working

    I have a '17 Expy Ltd and love it. Today, however, while heading to a family outing I noticed my cruise buttons not working. Then I noticed the "up" button not working. Since I had started the vehicle by remote, I pulled over and did a hard restart. No help. I kept playing with it and finally...

    Transmission Shifting

    I bought a '17 Expy Limited program vehicle and it now has just under 70k miles. I love it and it drives like new, but occasionally when I am accelerating slowly and get to about 23mph, it upshifts from 2nd to 3rd and makes a little clunk and jerk. BUT if I do a normal acceleration like when I...

    Tire pressure warning '17 Expy

    Thanks for the replies. For the time being I will be more diligent about checking air in my tires. Still a little puzzled as I have been driving for 45 years and have owned most domestic makes and never experienced (was made aware of) low air at 0 degrees. We occasionally get 20-30 below...

    Tire pressure warning '17 Expy

    I got a low tire pressure warning today which happened to be a very cold temperature start (-1 F). When I finally got to a gas station with a working air pump I found all of my tires low and at least one in the low 20's. I admit I don't regularly check my tire pressures but I have never had an...

    Changing Navigation While Driving

    I do it all the time and I am no genius. First thing I do is hit voice button on the wheel and say "navigation". Once responded I say "cancel navigation". It asks for confirmation and I say "yes". Now you start all over. Press voice button and say navigation. If you know where you are going...

    2017 Rear Wiper

    Hey 17LimitedExpy, I saw your reply above about using a more generic rear wiper arm and "regular" 16" wiper refills. I have a 2017 Limited Expedition and would like to replace the rear wiper refill, but I can find no help with "how-to" video. I took off the rear blade assembly and tried to...

    Ok, I'm heading out shortly and I will try that. Thank you.

    Transmission gear indicator went missing

    I may be losing my mind but I swear my dash used to show the gears in a vertical display and highlight the current gear. All of a sudden that part of the display disappeared and there is blank space left. Everything else is there. I default to "trip 2" mode showing current mpg and miles driven...

    Can't activate running lights on '17 Expedition Limited

    I didn't even notice the rear windshield scratch until a few days after purchase. I have a 60 day warranty but doubt the small dealer will cover the scratch. I will contact them tomorrow to find out. Thanks for the update on HID lights on my '14 F150 - they sure were bright. I see OBD's for $30...
