    Moving on....

    all the kinks? you mean like the non-2018-2020 models having the frozen liftgate issues, the additional issues we're seeing on lots of these? It's just all of these brands right now, they have crappy suppliers, crappy parts, crappy service, etc. Just look at how many issues people are having...

    2022 Expedition - Cracked Roof Panel; Cracked Lift gate Spoiler

    Time to gather some of this information and head to small claims court. Not sure where you are and what sort of rules your jurisdiction may have around dollar figures, etc, but I think there's more than enough information available on this site and the rest of the Internet to show there was an...

    Moving on....

    that's a pretty substantial change but it should be a reliable ride and if it meets your needs, that's all you can ask for!

    2018 Max Platinum - Misfire/Plugs/Coils/VCT/Engine Rumble/Customer Assurance/PCM Info

    Bringing this thread back up real fast, instead of creating a new topic. Good on the plugs, but recently read some articles talking about long term reliability and things that should be done on these 3.5's. One item that seems to creep up a lot is ignition coil longevity and issues. Is it...

    Want a Larger Fuel Tank? Request it...

    Don't turn these rigs into Pintos! The rear ends on these collapse pretty quickly in a strong rear end accident. That spare helps with a little absorption back there.

    Front Camera Replacement

    exactly what I was going to say, it will likely require the cowl above the grill coming off, the bumper cover, and the grill. I've done it but as Gixxer said, it's a fair amount of work.

    2021 Rear wiper washer fluid leak on front passenger floor board

    My first inclination would be to trace the hoses from the pump and see where they go through the firewall, that would tell you if you even have a chance of getting to it.

    2021 Rear wiper washer fluid leak on front passenger floor board

    oh my, that sounds fun! you have a 21, still under warranty? granted it may take 2 weeks at the dealer but my concern would be any electronics or modules potentially getting wet and having issues later. Either there's a union down there that's leaking or worse, maybe it was crimped or...

    Transmission fluid change interval

    I mean technically mine has the small air cooler right in front of the tranny as well, I was more thinking about the filling procedure, maybe location of the filling hole and exhaust vs. our design.

    Transmission fluid change interval

    @SyndicateZ I know many of them do, the problem is that if "factory certified" and trained techs can't possibly do this service right, in a reasonable time, there's no way I could remotely trust the 3rd party quick lube shops. previous trannies I could easily do myself, this one seems absurd...

    Transmission fluid change interval

    So is it the consensus that we really should be doing sooner than the factory mileage, but it's either a huge pain in the rear or you risk techs not doing it right? Super frustrating also, as I can almost guarantee the dealer will require to leave your car for at least a day, rather than...

    Transmission fluid change interval

    So I'm gonna bring this back up after reviewing and searching the forum for any collective thoughts on something like a four-wheel service with tranny flush. I'm not a heavy driver, meaning I don't tow two boats and a jeep behind this thing all the time, I do drive a lot of mountain passes up...

    2019 Liftgate Button on the actual liftgate

    I have numerous posts about this on here. The feedback mechanism in the switch is a terrible design, its essentially just a rubber nub that tries to return to its resting position. I actually found that if I tap hard enough on the trim surrounding the button sometimes it works fine...

    CAI aftermarket for SPP HO at higher altitude?

    The CAI if a good one will come with instructions. I also liked that the Corsa tube was metal, where as my previous one was plastic. It comes with instructions on how to pop off the sensor harness, insert the tube with the open angle facing the turbo (shortest end of the tube towards turbo)...

    CAI aftermarket for SPP HO at higher altitude?

    I recently just switched between CAI's, having now moved to the awesome Corsa one. My issue with the previous one was actually that it was the open baffle style. I didn't like how dirty the filter go and even though it had a gasket at hte top, much like the picture you posted, I was still...

    DDP/PDM firmware

    I mean OP says they've done it before, I too haven't seen it but maybe it is possible with forscan. pretty cool, someone needs to try and pull firmware off and see if we can help each other that way.

    2024 Expedition Limited on order

    You shouldn't need to but it can't hurt. The biggest issue is dirt. I keep mine clean, pressure wash every 1-2 weeks especially in the winter. Lubricate good 2-3 times a year. No issues. Funny, everything is working fine but the powder coated exterior of the motors is now peeling off and...

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    Unfortunately don't hold your breath on the turbos. Mine were both replaced at around 10k miles due to the rattle, but it took 9 months of fighting with Ford and almost a complete buyback over it. So stupid they would go that route due to this issue. I had maybe 6-8 visits to the dealership...

    SSM 51346 - 2022-2023 Expedition - Liftgate Spoiler Contacting Roof In Freezing Temperatures - Released February 07, 2023

    Don't expect good things. there's other folks on here that have been told to take a hike as the special service announcement appears to have "expired". It's like every older explorer you see driving around with a cracked panel just below the rear glass. It's a nice defect but no one will notice.

    Heater hose under cam phaser recall?

    Huh, weird, I said this like 3 years ago when I had to get my phasers done. Ripping apart a pristine engine for a defect is bound to cause more issues than it fixes. these things are far too complicated for it not to. Could this be a way of recouping some costs of the actual phaser fixes...

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    And by pulsing, I suppose do you mean a noticeable difference in say gradual acceleration or are you talking about a pulsing sound? I've had both, and they are very different, and yes spark plugs fixed the former, while the later is more related to what's often called turbo surge. If it's...

    Blind Spot & Cross Traffic Not Working - FIXED

    That's perplexing. For one, the radius on that bend doesn't look right at all, i.e. there isn't enough slack between the connector and the post holding down the loom. Especially for wires that small of a gauge. Either there should have been a bit more of a bend radius on that loom, or Ford...

    Extended warranty……?

    It's been said many times in many posts on here! If you spend 30 minutes reviewing posts you'll probably talk yourself into it. And yes, I get it, many folks on forums like this generally contribute only when bad stuff happens, but it shouldn't matter. There really doesn't seem to be a part...

    ‘24 Platinum Car Wash Leak

    Several possible causes, the drain tubes could be clogged or disconnected, could have kinks in them (I believe a few folks on here have had that issue from the factory). Not an easy fix as it may require complete removal of the headliner. But if you're under warranty then just have them deal...
