Hello, new poster. Looking to upgrade our '06 Explorer to an Expedition - we need a larger towing capacity for a camper. Our family has had great luck with Fords and we've always liked what we've gotten with the Explorer line-up. The Expedition seems like a natural move. I have been looking at 2010/2011 models since they seem like a decent set of years. Ran across a 2010 Expedition that looked good and was priced decently, but it had an interesting carfax history.
Here are the entries -

8/29/18 - 59696 miles - Rear pads & rotors replaced
5/31/19 - 74820 miles - Rear pads & rotors replaced
6/6/19 - Alignment checked
8/31/19 - Alignment checked
9/11/19 - Alignment checked
1/3/20 - Alignment checked
5/20/20 - Alignment checked
5/26/20 - 91208 miles - offered for sale
5/27/20 - 91210 miles - PDI, tires balanced & rotated, alignment
6/4/20 - sold - owner to owner #3
7/6/21 - tire checked
9/2/21 - 113097 - offered for sale
I left out all the other servicing, but what struck me as odd is that there could be something going on with the alignment. Presumably those visits could be mislabeled and are actually tire balance/rotating, but the interval is a bit fast for that - you're looking at 5 visits in 16k miles or less. Then the alignment at the dealer on top of that. Also the rear pads/rotors being replaced within 15k miles previously. Makes me wonder if they were looking to solve some sort of problem. If so, owner #2 may have decided to sell it just 6 days after the last alignment visit.
Is there any sort of known issue or issues with the '10 Expedition that I should look out for on this that might present itself as some sort of alignment problem?
