Ok Ford Fam,
What is not to love about the Expedition much less the Max. I love everything about it except the reliability. Its sitting at the dealer again and is now having the transmission rebuilt. Here is my list of what has been done so far while owning this beauty other than regular maintenance.
Cam Phase sensors x 3
Rotors at 10k
Sunroof leak at 2500 miles and the other side at 36k, had to pay for that one out of pocket.
New Exhaust at 40k
Transmission rebuild at 45k - after telling several dealers something is wrong with the transmission since it was new, they kept telling me its common on the 10 speed and they reset the computer and once it learns my driving style it will smooth out. x 20
My original tires have outlasted the transmission and most of the drive train on this thing but I cant find anything else that I enjoy driving more than this stupid unreliable gas guzzling monstrosity. I absolutely hate that its been in the shop so much (4-6 Months tot) but I cant find anything that has the same room, comfort and enjoyable ride as this. So what are we to do?
Its a total love and hate relationship, unlike anything I have experienced with any of my Fords of the past, but here I am. Im finally stuck with the hot woman thats great in bed and cant do much else. Do I run for the hills or suck it up and call myself lucky to be in the club and go along with the ride until she leaves me heart broken.
Im pretty sure I could write a country song about the Expy with the agony and pain this thing has caused me and probably future financial ruin, but for the love of all things innocent I cant let go for some reason?!!
If your looking to join this heartbreak club, enjoy them while they last.....
