Update: I’m driving the vehicle more now and fumes are again the same in the cabin. Vents clear out for a little then start oil smell or exhaust smell every 5-10 minutes of driving. Sometimes I’m stopped in my garage or plain open parking outside and the vents start to smell constant flow of oil, or fuel or exhaust fumes. I can’t tell wat it is but it’s very unpleasant.

I forgot to mention on my last post that when I replaced the filters and the engine filter was full of oil. The air intake had oil residue. Should this be the case or does this mean there is something wrong inside the engine?

This car doesn’t throw any codes wats so ever. It didn’t throw a code when they said it was very low on oil. It didn’t throw any codes prior to them replacing half of the engine. What’s the point of having a computer monitoring system then? Is it even working? Wtf

Scheduling an appointment soon with ford and I’ll be showing them all the issues in person. I won’t let them take the car and tell me they can’t find shit.

Here, there, everywhere, all the time, all at once
Purchased a brand new 2023 ford expedition max limited all blacked out on Feb 2023. From the day I took it off the lot it was clunking, bad fumes coming from the vents brakes squeaking
So you bought it almost 2 years ago and you're just now complaining about these issues, which you say existed before you even drove it home...sorry if this sounds harsh, but.........w.T.f...?????

Anyways, good luck getting them fixed asap, I would be arranging to have my attorney ride to the stealership with you, the one where you bought it from, and let him speak (for you) to the General Manager in person...

I would also recommend wearing your size 14 Steel-toed boots & a can of oil, you know, just in case, hahahaha :)

Vehicle was bought Feb 2023. Not even a year yet. Clunks and in cabin fumes were present from the day I bought it. All the dealerships I’ve been to kept saying these issues will go away. They said this until the car has 20,000 miles on it. After the 20,000 miles they started resetting the trans for a total of 4 times at 4 different dealerships. The fumes they can’t replicate.

Good that you purchased that extended warranty. We called my former Expo the "Warranty Crusher". You can bet that if you hadn't, the stealership would have been able to replicate every problem under the sun when that clock turned 1 mile over the 36 K.

I cannot believe ford treats its customers like this. It’s not bad enough that they sold me a lemon and I can’t even drive the car too much because of all these issues it has but they refuse to fix it. I get it not all cars will be build perfect from the factory but when u sell a $80k defective car at the very least fix its issues so ur customer can be happy. But no ford wants to get away by saying they can’t replicate the issues and make u drive a broken new car. No sir this is not how this is going to play out with me. In my life I will never buy another ford due to this experience.

Vehicle is at the dealer again on the same issues. I hope they fix it because otherwise it will cost them a lot.

Dealer called me and asked to ride in with one of their techs. I go in and I start driving and I hear the knock towards the engine area when going over bumps tech doesn’t. I hear the clunks under my feet tech doesn’t. I ask him do you want to be on the drivers seat he says ok. He drives the car a bit rougher than me and the knocks and clunks are louder and I ask him did you hear this and that and he still denies. WOW. Now I’m being lied to my face. Basically this does dealer told me in my face we hear the issues but we are not going to fix them. Now I’ll get the evidence on video. Gopro here we go.

Simply because your vehicle is still in some sort of warranty, I guess. After your warranty expires, suddenly the tech would be able to hear everything you can hear.

Today I started the vehicle and it’s smelling like fried wiring in the cabin. I put my code checker on and shows these 4 codes. Anyone know if any of these codes causes this smell?

Also under Mode 6 I see fail on purge flow monitor and couple others. Could this be the reason for the exhaust fumes entering the cabin?
