    On cold start hearing rattle and clonking from front suspension area

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you have the 3.5L EcoBoost, it could be coming the engine. I follow the 'EcoBoost 3.5L Enthusiats' page on FaceBook and that's what 80% of the post are about; cold start rattle and cam phasers. The cam phasers operate off of oil pressure, and when the...

    Door Lock Knob Stuck in Unlocked Position

    I checked the child-lock lever and it was in the unlock position. The small lever moves freely between the two positions. It didn't make any difference in the lock function. But!!! I had time today to pull off the door panel and take a look. The only thing I found was, the lock knob itself was...

    Door Lock Knob Stuck in Unlocked Position

    I searched and didn't see the same issue, so here goes... The rear passenger door lock button on my 2015 Expy is stuck in the up (unlocked) position. I discovered this when I opened that door and the alarm went off. I forgot that I had locked all the doors with the key fob. I tried it again...

    2017 Expedition w/ 3.5 Ecoboost -- engine sounds? (video included)

    If you think it may be the way the phone picked up the sound, you might try this. Ask a friend, or a local Ford dealer, to let you listen to a 3.5 EB idle. Record it with your phone from 3 ft, 5 ft, and 10 ft away. Listen to the recorded sound file and see if it sounds similar. As an option to...

    2011 Remote Start

    FWIW... In Illinois, a running car must be attended, UNLESS it was started with a remote start AND the doors are locked.

    Reverse camera distortion

    I have a 2015, and it does the same thing. There’s no rhyme or reason to when it shows a staticky negative image, or when it looks perfectly normal. It’s good a lot more often than it’s bad, but I would really appreciate it working correctly all the time. I will consider the replies above and...

    Backup screen issues

    The backup display in my 2015 will occasionally show a black screen with a jumpy image consisting of RGB (red, green, blue) streaks. It looks worse than the photo Michael posted... the image not that distinct. Most of the time the display is normal. Like Michael said, there is no consistency to...

    Backup Camera Display Suddenly Has New Features

    I have owned my 2015 Expedition XLT since February, 2015, and I use the backup camera display almost every day I drive it. Recently, the display went haywire with the screen showing a black, distorted (similar to static noise) image. I searched this forum to see if others had experienced the...

    Messy Oil Filter Change

    Thanks Ed, for the reply and advice. I always use a big piece of cardboard under a vehicle when changing oil. I've been known to pull on the catch pan and slosh oil out. (Oops!) The worst part of this deal is, the oil runs into the protective sheet metal guard (I'd hardly call it a skid plate)...

    Messy Oil Filter Change

    I have a 2015 Expedition that I've done a couple oil changes on, and I have a question about changing the filter without making a mess. The first time, I had the front end elevated and oil from the filter ran over the back of the built in drain channel. The second time I had the vehicle level...

    2011 Remote Start

    Thanks steveg_nh, mine is an XLT with the 200A package. Remote start is not included. It appears that the Ford accessory remote is Plug 'n Play. Estimated dealer charge to install it is $80, which is what... about an hour? I have installed Bulldog remote start systems on a couple cars and...

    2011 Remote Start

    Just purchased a 2015 without remote start and am thinking about purchasing the Ford Accessory system. Has this issue been corrected or will I be dealing with the same thing?

    Sorry about the duplicate post. I had a script error and it appeared the message didn't post. So, I resubmitted it. Oops.

    Add Another New Expedition Owner to the Group

    I've been following the forum for several weeks, doing research before buying a 2015 Expedition. I'm a big believer in online forums, having benefited from them time after time. I try not to just be a taker; I will contribute when possible... once I have a reasonable amount of knowledge and...
