    My experience and symptoms of both front brake hoses going bad.

    Currently at 122k I dont put a lot of miles on so it likely started in the 110k, but that is not likey super accurate. I put new pads on the front around 112k so that may have been a factor. The movement of the calipers. But honestly I think it was not quite right for a while. If you suspect...

    My experience and symptoms of both front brake hoses going bad.

    My 2014 had been acting not quite right but not really wrong enough. Keep in mind I can do some advanced mechanical work. Like building cars from scratch and fixing issues as they come up. Looking back know vision is 20/20 right.. So for a while it seemed like the brakes took a bit to start...

    2014 Calipers not releasing fully, Hoses or ABS?

    So I am sort of in the troubleshooting phase. For a long time I have noticed sometimes when I stop the car is slow to take off. I was thinking the tranny was not fully downshifting. Also once in a while, thinking back after a stop, when I go up an incline the transmission trys to do a funny...

    2014 Tranny needs oil change symptoms? or do I have a problem

    My 2014 has 120k. Recently I have noticed when braking to slow down in traffic when I let off the brake I am not 'coasting' freely the tranny still is connected. Hard to describe. Sometimes like accelerating while going up and over pass from 40 to 50 I get a very light 'bump' it kind of sounds...

    Advancetrac light comes on once in a while. Get RCM U3000:49-08 and ABS U0452-20 Looking for thoughts...

    2014 Expedition No GPS symbol but appears to be tracking

    My 2014 is showing the No GPS most of the time. The car icon seems to be in the right position on the road so it is getting a decent position. I am not familiar with how the Ford parts are tied together. I am an electronics engineer that has done some work with GPS. I do have older Ford...

    Used Expy's seemed to dry up here in the NJ area. When do the best used deals start popping up?

    My problem is my budget is $22k so rentals are out. Also I want to avoid the new engine. I was looking at the Nav. L but really I do not want all the fancy expensive and time consuming not needed accessories. Truthfully, I prefer the base model with the important items being remote mirrors and...

    Used Expy's seemed to dry up here in the NJ area. When do the best used deals start popping up?

    I looking for a lower mileage EL (under 100k) and I noticed the number of available units has dropped off. I am thinking people are holding off selling because they are waiting for end of year deals on new cars in October. Is this likely what is going on? Any guys who are in the car industry...

    Need thoughts, 2011 EL with 60K miles looking to buy

    No not the carmax price. There is one local at carmax at like $5k over high end value. I do not get it. It is at a Ford dealer in a higher area near Phila on the NJ side.

    Need thoughts, 2011 EL with 60K miles looking to buy

    I should add that I live in NJ by the shore. This car was a PA rental then owned in the phila area by a family judging by the Legos between the seat and a dog with black and white fur. As for selling price, that may be what they go for in this area. Last week there was a 2008 EL Limited well...

    Need thoughts, 2011 EL with 60K miles looking to buy

    I just looked at a 2011 Expedition EL XLT with like 63K miles. It spent its life in Phila, PA area. The first thing I noticed was the driver door at the back lower area was out of line with the rear door. The front was perfectly aligned. The other doors were good. I could find no damage spots...
