Picked up our '22 Expedition Max Ltd in December after ordering in April of last year. We love the overall vehicle and packaging- especially with a young / growing family it's a perfect rig for family trips that easily handles our boat and costco runs. That said, we've had a TON of glitches over our ~5 months of ownership... in no particular order:
+ On 2 occasions, the headlights have turned on when truck is turned off and remained on. Once, I didn't catch it and it completely drained the battery in our driveway. Thankfully on the second occasion, we ran a quick errand and I noticed upon returning to the vehicle. Apparently a known issue Ford is aware of... wild this can happen and battery rundown protection didn't kick in.
+ We have the upgraded trailering package, and the truck has a trailer light fault with a number of different trailers. Dealer has been unable to diagnose despite investigating for over a week (on 2 separate visits), replicating issue, and dialoguing with Ford corporate. Right turn signal and right brake light are therefore currently inoperable on any trailering vehicle. Going in for a 3rd visit this week, to hopefully remedy with a new trailer control module.
+ Truck routinely prompts to select a connected trailer when no trailer is connected. Hoping this is related to a faulty trailer module / issue above
+ 1-touch power front windows (front only, as rear was deleted due to chip shortage) forget they are 1-touch windows at least once a week, which is easy enough to reprogram but incredibly annoying. Never had this issue in any car I've owned going back to 1998 model year..
+ Running boards and auto-fold mirrors decide to operate only on one side. Usually corrected by opening / closing door again or pressing the mirror button, but my wife almost took a spill getting out as her running board didn't deploy.
+ Multiple trim issues.. we had the gap around the gauge bezel and wavy center speaker grill many have commented on, which required replacement parts to remedy, in addition to another trim piece that had to be realigned.
+ Sync 4A 15" Screen shows a Mach-E picture instead of an Expedition a few times per month
+ Random roof rattle behind the drivers headrest near the midpoint of the panoramic roof.
We purchased an extended service plan and intended to keep the car 6+ years, but I'm definitely concerned with the experience to date, which has started to erode my confidence in this being a reliable family vehicle. Disappointing that a platform released in 2018 would still have all these kinks / growing pains, especially one that's trimmed out to a nearly $80k MSRP, though I appreciate many are software driven and perhaps unique to the 2022+..
