Purchased my limited max July 20,2024. Noticed some vibration at 35mph. But had not driven on interstate. Second day drive on interstate and the vibration was unbearable over 50mph. Been in shop 4 times for the issue and they've had it the last 46 days. Got an email my buyback was approved.

Sad to see reports of these vibration issues widespread since 2017 and it's still happening. Love the vehicle other than the nasty vibrations. Never had a vehicle do this and upsetting on such an expensive vehicle.

Did any of these recent cases get the tire and wheel road force balanced?
I had the stock General Grabbers road forced balanced the first time with a little improvement. The second time, they determined one tire was bad. They would replaced for free. The dealer gave me $400 towards a set of my choice. I spent days going back and forth on Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2's and Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3. Chose the Pirelli's and now there no vibration all the way to 85mph. Haven't had it past 85 yet. The Pirelli's are way smoother and quieter than the General Grabbers were!

Ford balanced my OEM Grabbers, RFB'd them, replaced with new Grabbers, replaced with Michelins and no improvement. The problem is not the tires, as many on this thread have previously said - its just the easiest thing for dealers to blame the vibration on. Mine also pulls to the left despite the alignment purportedly being "fine"

Yes, that was the first try. Road Force and balanced 4 times I believe. (thinking it was a technician issue)
Then they replaced the 3 issue tires.
Then they swapped the tires and rims from another new vehicle.
I informed of what I read in the forums about drive shafts, transaxles, etc.
They then tried rebalancing again.
I contacted Ford since they informed they had 12 other expeditions with the same issue between their other dealerships and they do not have a fix.
Brought it back and since they have replaced driveshaft, front axles and now awaiting rear axles according to service advisor. That was the recommendation from Ford Engineer assisting dealership. They have had the vehicle since August 7th.

Just purchased a 2024 limited with 22” wheels and General tires. Get vibration starting at 70 mph steadily worsens up to 80 mph on turnpike. Service manager stated that all newer models are experiencing this problem but hasn’t got any feedback from ford. Did not have this problem with my 2019 with 20” tires
I bought a 23 KR in February and had the same type of issue. Very noticeable vibration at 55/56 and again at 77/78. I spoke with the service manager and heard the same thing. No answers from Ford yet. When I pushed it, they offered to buy back my truck. I like my truck and I just want Ford to fix it.

Mine's at the dealer right now for the 3rd time.
It's a 2022 Limited Stealth Max, bought used from a Ford dealer. I didn't test drove it over 65mph when i bought it, my bad. Initially it was due to a bent wheel, they ordered/replaced wheel, still have vibration after replacing wheel. so they wheel balanced. and now's the 3rd time awaiting for news.. this is just depressing. my kid skipped school today coz we have no other vehicle to use.

Vibration is gone! Finally got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's mounted on and could not be happier! No vibration or shimmy felt at speeds up to 85mph. Very smooth and quiet tire! 100x better than the stock General Grabbers!
I'm considering purchasing a 2024 Limited non-Max with SPP (304A). I have three at area dealers on my radar, but I haven't driven any of them yet. One was built over a year ago and another was built in February. They both have General Grabbers on them. The third was built a month ago and has Pirelli Scorpion tires. Hmmm...
