    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

    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

    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?

    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...

    5.4l engine stuck at 300 rpm!

    My 2014 Expedition has just developed its first engine problem after almost 96,000 miles. I guess I should feel lucky...but not so much. :-) I had an oil change and 99 point check done at a local Ford dealer on July 11, and all was OK. That was followed by some suspension work and an idler...

    2014 XLT 4WD Shock Replacement

    Can anyone give me an idea what it should cost to replace front and rear shocks on a 2014 Expedition XLT 4WD with about 96,000 miles on it? I've got an informal quote from a dealer but want to double check before going ahead.

    Sideways jump?

    I noticed my 2014 Expedition XLT has developed a tendency to jump sideways when running over road bumps. It doesn't always happen and does not seem to be very speed related. Happens in 2H and 4A. It wasn't doing this until after approx 85,000 mi. Any clues, It passed a dealer 7500 mi checkup...

    Rear AC Vents Flip Shut

    In several 3rd gen Expeditions, new and old, I've noticed that the rear ceiling AC vents flip shut by themselves when the fan is turned up to high speed. Any obvious fix for this?

    Garage Door Opener Power

    I have a 2014 Expedition XLT with the Car2U garage door opener unit on the driver side sun visor. It seems to have power all the time, whether or not the ignition is on. For home security purposes, I'd prefer that it work only when the vehicle ignition is on. Anyone have any good ideas how to...

    Compass Dead

    I just got my 2014 back from its 30k service, and the compass (in-dash info display, not the nav screen) has stopped working. Instead of 1 or 2 letter direction indications such as N or SW, I just have 2 hyphens. The compass zone and calibration procedures have no effect - the reset button...
