Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

[Dice Roll]

Small sample size but I had three GMs in a row before my Ford current product. Zero issues except for a warranty covered lifter fix.

Of course I don’t drive anything past 100k miles so anything, including this Ford should be trouble free during that period.

I’d add that these 6 year old GM’s seem to be demanding a lot for dumpster worthy vehicles...

had several with many issues short of 100k in my family. Finally talked people of buying them so they won’t be asking me to fix or direct a repair in some way. Contrast that with the fords we’ve had with little to nothing until they get some age on them, that being after ten years.

initial quality was quite good as well. I did many quality inspections working for Toyota. On this truck I only had the one door not shutting the last eighth of an inch. So pretty good really. Seems the average car has a little over one defect from factory, think that average was from jd power I’ve seen several times over the years.

ive owned two expys 2018 and 2019. great trucks. 0 issues. we beat the shit out of it!!! tow with it. live in a relatively hard area for a vehicle to put the miles we put on them. i wouldnt hesitate to buy another one, but sadly we are going to jump into the GM pool and get an escalade!!

2021? Why did you guys make that decision. My dad wants one so can you let us know how you like it?

Yeah anything should be trouble free to at least 100k. Makes me a bad judge since I dump everything before 75k.

Besides it being a FORD? Dunno. Be thankful for the warranty.

what problems have you had

 

[mcb345]

what problems have you had

oh boy, you’re opening up a can of worms edizzle!!!

I will say that a lot of us complain in here about VCT/turbos rattling and rear tailgates opening when you walk by, front camera washers leaking, etc (all uses I’ve had). We complain a lot, but at the end of the day there haven’t really been any major recalls yet, mass engine failures, transmission failures, etc, just a handful of medium to minor issues that is very outspoken owners talk about.

I plan on powering through the problems, hopefully having everything fixed eventually and just enjoying a pretty nice ride as long as possible.

If the Escalade is reliably though that will be calling my name in the future after I get my money yes worth in the expedition! In my opinion that is a stunner of a car, I love the Navigator but I think it might put it to shame.

Then there's all the other stuff we're seeing a lot of. Panels that don't line up, trim that isn't straight, interior pieces not put together right, bolts, screws, nuts missing etc. Sure seems like it's the B or C teams putting these things together.

 

[Gumby]

Let's not forget about the blown shocks (just got mine back yesterday with a 2k bill for both rears) and the good ol passenger side rear defrost wire coming unglued from the rear glass (another $750.00 job)…

Quite a few stuff that is going wrong that probably shouldn't but I guess it is what it is...

 

[5280tunage]

Not to mention Supply chain issues. I get it, it all Covid's fault. But seriously, I have had parts backordered anywhere from a couple weeks to several months. I've now had mine in for about 12 days because every day a part is "supposed" to be in, the parts dept. gets a notice that it's backordered again. This time, the part was "supposed" to be in last friday. Today they got a backorder notice for the 29th? WTF?

Also, another new and strange one, my passenger rear taillight housing is cracking from the inside out. Literally, you can see a crack in the lens, but if you run a fingernail along the outside of it, you can't feel it at all. Watch Ford deny that replacement and try to tell me I damaged it.

Between these posts and consumer reports, we're just avoiding the 2018. First year of the redesign, makes sense that's where the problems would be highest.

But yet the excitement for the 2022 because of the Tesla screen... With things the way they are, not sure I'd trust that either.

Big screens and shiny things get me every time. But I have to say I have been looking at the same interior since 16’. My F-150, Superduty and Expy all have the same design. So a refresh is welcome.

Has anyone read the news? Ford has run out of semiconductors to buikd new F150s. It seems all that fancy electronics is subject to foreign supply shortages. So much for a Tesla style screen .

Me I prefer knobs. Bigguns...
