    2016 Intermittent loss of power

    I have a '16 and had an issue similar to that. It turned out to be spark plugs. My mechanic (super good guy, even told me what NOT to fix since it wasn't broken enough yet and save some money) said the way Ford programs the computers it takes a lot to throw a code to indicate plugs...

    Dreaded P219B

    You could check the plug wires and coils too. If the plugs aren't firing right it could be the wires or coils.

    2017 Expedition - Jerky acceleration, misfires (P304, P300, P305)

    Hey Cody, I hope I can help, my '16 XLT was doing the same thing. It was a cracked plug. The crack was so small you couldn't see it without really looking at it. So I had the dealer put all new plugs in when I had the 100k maintenance done. Less than 5k miles later I was getting the same...

    HD tow and required addons

    Thanks guys. I drive a '16 and it's getting to that point where it's not clear if it's better to get rid of it while it's still worth something or wait till it pukes and isn't worth anything. So I'm exploring my options.

    HD tow and required addons

    Hi all, I'm looking at getting a new expedition max and I'm wondering if i am seeing things right. Is it true you can't get the HD tow without leather seats and 2nd row captain's chairs? I would like HD tow, but need the middle seat (to carry more people) and I still have car seats, which just...

    Got the Official Notice

    Hey all, I have replaced the wire harness twice on my 2016 before being notified of the recall. When something goes out it looks like its the pigtail. The wires get hot and oxidize, ruining the connection, jiggling them helps reestablish the connection until the oxide layer builds up again. I...

    Blower motor module recall - Charged $500 for resistor replacement as well

    I had issues with my '16 too. Only I had a pigtail start acting up a few years ago and I replaced it. Funny thing is, Ford had the wrong pigtail listed in the parts list. I ended up getting this, and it fit perfect. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XDRGSV6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details...

    Rear wiper fluid leak into cargo area

    This happened to me too, but apparently the design is so bad just regular use can cause it to come off. The nozzle will provide some back pressure on the line and over time its enough. I'm not sure where it came disconnected, but I was having fluid spilling into the back. I didn't want to...

    Oil Change Impossible?

    Where I am it only costs $10 more to have my local shop change the oil if I were to buy the oil and filter myself. This tool isn't widely known but it should be, in a lot of cases I prefer it to even a socket, at least for breaking bolts loose. The leverage on it and clamping force is unreal...

    ‘20 Expedition Limited Max 3.5 Auto Start/Stop Problem

    Whenever I get a car that has this I turn it off. The constant start stop can't be good for the engine, plus its super hard on the battery. And from what I understand, when the car starts, it squirts a fairly large amount of fuel to get the engine going, so if you're just waiting at a red...

    2017 - 100k mile report

    Have the '16 EL XLT. Have the std package (no HD tow), cloth seats, RWD, smaller sync screen, just about as basic as it gets with about 130k miles (bought it with about 43k from a Ford dealer). The only real issue I've had with the thing was after 115k miles the APIM went out. That was a...

    Well...this happened...

    That sucks. I'll bet if there is frame damage they total it. If its cosmetic or bolt on parts they might fix it.

    2015 Trans shudder

    Is the check engine light on? I have a '16 and had the plugs changed before I took a road trip from TN to KS. Turns out #3 plug had a hairline crack in it, on the way back I got some weird shuddering and a check engine light.

    Poor gas milage

    You might be able to check and see if your speedometer is off. When driving on the freeway pull up your google maps and compare the GPS speed to the speedometer on your truck. If they don't match it could throw off your mileage.

    I've read about the cam issues in the 3.5, can these mechanical issues be resolved? The carfax shows this 2018 has been in the shop a couple of times.

    How is the engine quitting on the freeway not a safety issue?

    2017 EL: blower motor resistor problem

    I only replaced the harness, the resistor was fine. After wiggling the wire (old wire) I could get it to come back on, so I knew it wasn't the resistor. FORD HAD THE WRONG HARNESS LISTED ON THEIR SYSTEM!!! The Ford guy at the dealer brought out a harness, it was totally the wrong one. I...

    HVAC fan intermittently stopping

    I had to do this on my 2016 EL XLT. Turns out at the time (only a year ago) Ford had the wrong plug connector listed in their system. The resistor was fine, but the plug spec'd didn't for the resistor. Then to make matters worse, the crimp connectors they had in the pack didn't fit because there...

    door ajar question

    I had a problem like this on my Edge before I got my Expy. Its actually a known problem with the detector switch inside the latch. Ford has a fix for it. They take the door panel off and blast a bunch of power through the switch. The problem is from dendrite growth, blasting power though it...

    2019 platinum max nitrogen filled tires?

    Pro tip, if it's mandated by the People's Republik of Kalifornia, chances are is not needed and overblown. Kalifornia requires all tire shops and dealers to use nitrogen. So, we can conclude.....

    steering feels shifty, super sensative, at high speed: especially on bumpy roads

    Yes, please let us know. I have a 16 EL XLT I bought t over the summer and took to Denver from SoCal. Seemed a little loose on the freeway, glad to hear it wasn't just me.
