Steering Vibration 2022 Ford Expedition Max SPP

[smackDaddy]

Hello guys, im new to this site. I have a 2022 ford expedition xlt max. It comes with hankook tires. I personally think this vehicle is junk. The vibration issue at high speed are very common in these vehicles. I believe it is a design engineering problem directly from the manufacturer. Dont try to fix it youll end up wasting your time and money. Get rid of it asap or trade it in somehow. I spent lot of money and time on trying to fix this piece of s_hi_t. To no avail.

This has been mentioned in a few threads. It appears that certain newer years of Ford Expeditions had Perma Sel Tire Puncture Sealant installed in their tires. This addon can cause the tire to get out of balance and cause vibrations at higher speeds and making balancing almost impossible. Some have taken their vehicles back to the dealership and had the tires replaced, which fixed the problem. Could this possibly be your issue? Example: PermaSeal Tire Imbalance/Vibration.

If its junk, why did you buy it? I would never spend $70k on a vehicle I thought was junk.

Our 2023 expedition has the same problem. Took it back and they replaced 3/4 generals. Still shakes at 75 and over. They also said that everything is aligned after changing the tires. It’s is incredibly frustrating. The principle of the matter is that these are new trucks that cost a lot and create a lot of stress!

I had planned on replacing all 4 of my General's again, but never got to it. Same problem, though, over 75mph still shaking, but better than it was before. I'm swapping to winter tires sometime soon, that seemed to help a little bit last year but I think we still shook a little. This will unfortunately probably be my last Ford after dealing with all this BS.

My problem returned after the first service, when the dealership rotated the tires. After a four hour drive to and four hour drive back from Chicago Heights, I'd had enough: I purchased four Michelin CrossClimate2's from Costco and now the vehicle is as perfect as it should have been at initial delivery.

It sucks that I had to spend real money to fix a Platinum Max, but Ford wore me out with service visits and loaners and I just got sick of dealing with it.

I just went through an issue with my Certified pre-owned.
Contact Ford Motor Company and tell them your problem. A liaison will be assigned to you and resolve your issue, maybe even refund you money.

Solid even above 75-80’s?
My issue returned all the same with the tire rotation. One dealer said everything was fine (same one who did the tire re install). Another one (for second opinion) told me high speed balance was off. I have Michelins on now and they are normally amazing tires.

Before the replacement, the SUV had general grabber tires?

I've always found that if a vibration can be felt under your ass or the back floor it is usually in the drive train.
Vibration felt in the steering wheel it is usually front wheels and associated parts.
Before you go nuts on the service manager suggest a road force balance.

There is nothing inherently wrong causing vibrations on these vehicles. I can tow at speed & I’ve been over 120mph & it’s very stable & vibration free. That being said, the factory rotors are not the best, and can definitely induce vehicle vibrations, once/if they get warped.

I would suggest u try some new H or Y rated Michelins and some new power stop Z36 rotors & pads, as u might have some worn or goofy tires & I know personally that warped stock rotors will cause vibrations, but it’s not anything that can’t be definitively diagnosed & corrected.

I have 100K on mine & if it had an uncorrectable vibration issue, I would have got rid of it a long time ago.

Additionally, loose wheel bearings, 4-wheel drive system components, and anything that rotates, and all the suspension links & bushings need to be checked. Something is lose in the suspension, alignment, or bad rotors are causing this. I guess I’m blessed cause I have a top-notch A+ mechanic working on mine. Sorry, hope u get your finger on the problem soon.

I'm not optimistic, and, get this: I work for Ford.

Yup. I've had it up to 85, and it's just perfect now. Michelins have always been my replacement tire choice, just not at 10,000 miles.

Yup. The same crappy tires everyone else has that's giving them problems, too.

You guys sure it’s not the crappy cardboard heat shield or oil filter drip cardboard resonating at high speeds? Mine does especially against the wind. Whole vehicle shakes. Speed limit is 80 in W. Texas and so is the wind!
