Error Message

[spiderman865]

I started with Ford customer service and then they escalated it to the reacquired vehicle group. Fortunately for me I found an exact replacement at the same dealer that we bought a Lincoln from a few months ago and the saleswoman was very helpful. This dealer was not where I purchased the original Expedition. Most importantly is be patient and persistent. Ford likes to drag their feet to discourage you

My Expedition Limited is less than a month old and I have had the "Drive Control Fault Service Required" error message twice. Taking it in for service this week. Odd that this problem still persists after reading issues about it from 2018.

Has anyone experienced this error message? Had the dealer look at it last week when it was in for some other warranty work and was told it was a "programming" issue and that it had been addressed. Started coming on a lot more frequently over the last few days. It goes back for a different issue next week.

I had the same problem with 5 error messages. Ended up being a pinched wire in the main harness connection at the firewall. Took the dealer 9 days of driving till the fault appeared while the tech was driving it.

Thanks, I appreciate it everyone. It has to go back in on Monday for them to do some warranty work on the antenna of all things. I'll let everyone know what they say.

Interested in knowing what the antenna issue is? I have whistling noise, AM only and only on one predominant station. The dealer has no idea what it is. I read about the same issue in Ford Flex vehicles though and it was a bracket replacement I believe

Dealer could not find codes. One month old car with 1,200 miles. Might be another lemon.

Just over 3,000 miles and 5 months old and I had another error "Drive Control Fault Service Required" message. I could not change drive modes after receiving this message as it said "Drive Mode Not Available" and the ride changed from smooth to bumpy. I did change drive modes during this short trip from Normal back to Snow mode. Am I doing something wrong? I thought you could change drive modes while driving. Anyway, back to the dealer for them to tell me they couldn't find any codes.
