    Pink Coolant?

    Yep—I have drained and filled 3 times and it is still coming out pink. At least 2 more tries before I try to load it with full concentrate.

    Pink Coolant?

    BMW—that document is where I ended up tonight. I ordered several gallons off of Amazon and plan to do a more rigorous flush of the system before refill. Thanks for the responses. If there is other wisdom—please share as I will check back. Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum—I swear I...

    Pink Coolant?

    So genius me decided some preventive maintenance was in order. I drained out the coolant from our 2017 Expedition. The coolant coming out was pink. Everything I have read says it should be yellow. It did not fully drain because, well, thats how it works apparently. So now I have a cooling...

    Mysterious transmission issue

    We had a 2012 that did something similar. Bought it new. With about 300 miles on the odometer, my wife stopped at an intersection, when the light changed she let off the brake and pushed the gas. The Expy went about 10 feet, then acted like it was in neutral. Coasted to a stop, put into...

    CA Lemon LAw

    These are the two things I would use to get started: - https://www.dca.ca.gov/acp/pdf_files/lemonlaw_qa.pdf “Reasonable number of attempts ~4” and 30 days or more in the shop for same issue without resolution. Safety items have a lesser threshold. - The main site is www.lemonlaw.ca.gov

    CA Lemon LAw

    If I recall correctly, to apply for the lemon law, it has to be in the shop for the same issue at least 3 times and/or for an extended period of time without resolution. A quick Google search will give you the basics on CA LL.

    CA Lemon LAw

    We had a intermittent transmission problem. Sometimes when you came to a stop, then started to go again the car would start to move, then suddenly your transmission seemed to go into neutral and the engine would just rev freely. Usually you would have to stop the car (now in the middle of an...

    CA Lemon LAw

    We had a ’12 Expy replaced under the Lemon Law. Document, Document, Document—it was a fight. Ford fought me the entire way. 4 or 5 extended trips to the dealer with no resolution to our problem, then they started telling us there wasn’t a problem with the car, the problem was us. Fortunately...

    General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy

    Not sure about selling your current tires, but I found a place in Oceanside that gets new take-offs and resells them. I bought 4 new Michelins for $400 installed from them for our 2017. I was able to inspect the tires inside and out before the purchase—not even a scuff let alone a patch. Look...

    Factory Alarm gone crazy?

    I tried it with the other key fob and didn’t have any problems. I am going to have her run with the second fob and see if it recurs.

    Factory Alarm gone crazy?

    My wife just messaged me about her 2017. She said the car alarm/horn goes off when she opens the doors or hatch when the car is already unlocked. Any ideas?

    Weird clicking noise when first started in morning

    Is there a testing procedure for this actuator? The clicking we have is intermittent, some days it does it at start up, some days after shut down, some days not at all. I opened up the quarter trim and located the actuator in question, but want to be sure this is the problem Before throwing...

    Weird clicking noise when first started in morning

    Our 2017 Limited started to make a weird clicking noise when first started. It seems to come from the right rear quarter panel area and clicks for about 30 seconds, then stops and doesn‘t occur again until the next day. Any idea where to start looking?

    Time for a 2022 after someone totaled our 2020

    Wow, sorry to hear about the accident, but glad to hear the family is OK. I agree with your stance to keep quiet for now until responsibilities and liabilities are settled. My wife was hit about 14 months ago and totaled our 26,000 mile 2015 Expy. We so loved that truck, then we took a...

    Front Bumper Proximity Sensors Hyper-Sensitive

    “add more room betwixt you and other drivers” But…rubbin‘s racing…. I never thought about looking at what brand the other cars were, but I will pay some attention to that.

    Front Bumper Proximity Sensors Hyper-Sensitive

    Our current Expedition is our second one to have proximity sensors. Both trucks have/had overly sensitive proximity sensors. Sometimes just sitting at a stoplight—nobody moving, and beep beep beep! For no reason that anybody can see or perceive, they are going off. This happens somewhat...

    Lug Nut Size?

    Saving time is not necessarily following the recommended manufacturer’s procedure. If you want to learn what the costs of not following the OE procedures are, Google for “John Eagle $31.5M incorrect repair” on a Honda Fit. While it isn’t lug nuts, but it illustrates how a court views the OE...

    Lug Nut Size?

    Here is a picture of one of the lug nuts—you can see how the corners/edges of the nut were pounded by the socket—probably a 12pt versus a 6pt socket.

    Lug Nut Size?

    I swapped out my lug nuts tonight. After inspecting the old lug nuts, my assessment is that the use of impact wrenches on the stainless covered stock lug nuts de-forms the stainless cover giving it a swelled appearance. I do not think there is any corrosion on these, just impact wrench...

    Lug Nut Size?

    Duh—-Hamfisted gave a link even. Sorry for the dumb question. I have ordered a set on Amazon Prime

    Lug Nut Size?

    Airfix, Where did you source the Chrome Lug Nuts? I was thinking the same as you—why replace the current factory nuts with the same crap from Ford? I was also wondering—is it not swelling and instead deformation from the guys using impact wrenches on the nuts? Our Expy has never seen salted...

    Lug Nut Size?

    Hmm, ’Yikes!’ Is my first thought to your response. But I guess I had better check. I was expecting my existing sockets to fit as I have never had one I didn’t have a socket for. I will start with the factory lug wrench! Thanks

    Lug Nut Size?

    I had tires installed on my 2017 Expy today and I like to verify the wheel studs are properly torqued. I know for a fact these guys did not use a torque wrench because I saw the installation happen. However, when I tried to take care of this step myself, I don’t have the right size socket! I...

    How long did your Battery Last?

    The battery in our 2014 lasted 4 years, then dead in an instant. Our 2017–I need to go look under the hood. No idea if it was replaced before our purchase, but I should check.
