    Ford Dealer Comparative Service Pricing

    Yes, indeed. I've noticed how dealers always put stickers in my window telling me at what mileage next service is due, and they always make it after 5,000 miles when the actual recommendation is 7,500 mi. :-)

    Ford Dealer Comparative Service Pricing

    Good points. I did send him a polite email this morning, discussing the price differences, asking if it was related to scope of work, and also suggested that perhaps the shop people he asked were messing with him. Never hurts to give him an out... Regarding regional differences, after reading...

    Ford Dealer Comparative Service Pricing

    I have a 2014 Expedition XLT in fairly good shape. I've tried to stick to the recommended service intervals and have the work done at actual Ford dealers. Since I do a lot of road trips, I try to use dealers I've worked with before, near my home in NJ, and near family in Houston and Atlanta...

    2014 Visor Power Gone, Fuse Blown

    Update from the Ford service guy - he told the service advisor that he looked at the wiring and there was no damage, and that it's still the BCM. They are getting quotes and ETA on the parts they claim they need to fix this and the two other issues it's in the shop for. My guess is that they...

    2014 Visor Power Gone, Fuse Blown

    I went on a road trip, and while visiting family, I had the local Ford dealer repair the sunroof. It had previously been stuck open, but I manually (with a wrench) closed it to keep the rain out. The dealer had to replace the sunroof frame. When I got home, I found that the garage door opener...

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    WHAT light bulb would you add to a two-line green LED display that has no light bulbs?

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    Thanks. Seems the consensus is that it's a congenital and uncurable issue.

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    Nope. Windshield was replaced due to damage, but it's stock.

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    I dunno. What bulb? The display with the problem is LED dot matrix. The bulbs in the speedometer/tachometer/oil/fuel/temp gauges all work.

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    Searched a little, haven't found the exact same symptom mentioned, but I'll keep looking. Thanks!

    2014 Dim Instrument Display

    I have a 2014 Expedition with factory in-dash GPS. I have noticed recently that during the DAY, the info display in the instrument panel (odometer, trip meter, etc) is very dim, almost impossible to read when sunny. It used to be OK. The intensity/dome light control makes no difference to the...

    Lock Rear Camera On

    I'm heading out on a road trip in my 2014 Expedition with built in GPS and rear camera. Unfortunately I have a load in the back the almost completely blocks my view through the rear window. Is there a setting or simple hack that can lick on the rear camera so I can see what's behind me while...

    2014 Expedition Liftgate Rust?

    Progress (?) report: I didn't file a claim with my Ford dealer until a few months past 5 years of ownership (we were on a road trip, and I frankly didn't notice the bubbles until part way through the trip). We have kept ESP and then CSP in force continuously. Ford said the dealer quoted...

    2014 Expedition Liftgate Rust?

    I've just noticed today bubbling paint at the bottom edge (exterior and interior) of my 2014 Expedition liftgate. It's got just over 96k miles. I suppose I'll have to take it to a body shop to get cleaned up...anyone else have a problem like this? Water getting into the liftgate? Or just crappy...
