    2024 expedition vibration

    Picked the Expy up on Thursday evening last week. Took the Stealth to Gainesville, FL from Miami, FL to witness compete destruction. My service rep said the field engineer stated it was a 'balancing issue'. Driveline was fine. They road force balanced the Defenders... I must say that it was...

    2024 expedition vibration

    PS - this 2024 Expedition Limited Loaner has — you guessed it 285/45/22 GENERAL GRABBERS. But I still don’t think this is the actual problem.

    2024 expedition vibration

    It is ironic that I was about to post this right now. I dropped off my 2024 stealth with this slightly improved but remaining vibration issue at 73+ MPH. I opened up a case a few days ago with Ford customer service and my service representative, took the car in for an A-to-Z service with focus...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Spoke with the Ford customer service specialist who was attentive and seemed interested to find a resolution. She suggested that I find an independent dealership to do an analysis because dealerships are “privately owned.” She stated that I should be eligible for reimbursement for the tires...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Update: independent mechanic drove vehicle up to 85 MPH. Identified vibration. First impression after history of tire balancing and tire replacement with Michelin defenders is that it is the Dr. train. He’s going to put it on a lift and take a look at all potential symptom generators. I have...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Deflation level 6. Pushed it past 80MPH and the passenger seat started vibrating. It’s improved with the Defenders but there is larger issue with this vehicle’s engineering and configuration. Hitting independent mechanic in the AM. Will have him lift it and test. He will also drive it. If no...

    2024 expedition vibration

    You will notice an immediate and visceral difference in the vehicle. Ride quality and handling will be an immediate upgrade. The Michelin were able to corral about 80% of the vibration in my vehicle.

    2024 expedition vibration

    There is a very fine vibration in my vehicle after 73 mph after putting Michelin Defenders on. It’s livable but still unacceptable to me. I’m going to bring the vehicle to an independent mechanic to inspect the driveshaft. I will literally ask him to lift a vehicle and observe and test for...

    I’m sure this was the exact answer he was looking for :)

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 rim protection?

    I mean… fairly solid.

    2024 expedition vibration

    Update: after an additional 500 miles after installation of the new Michelin shoes… there is a slight perceptible vibration at 75+ MPH. I almost want to say that this is normal for a vehicle built this way at this weight. I believe it has a bit to do with the low profile side wall on these...

    2024 expedition vibration

    4 Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 tires on. Completely different riding vehicle. Even motionless is just ‘sits’ better and tighter. This is a new car. Vibration not detected above 73MPH. Out the door for $1,323. (Plus $86,455 for a new Expedition Stealth)

    Ford Customer service told me 'Since the dealership is assisting you with the cost of replacement tires, there is nothing more we able to do for you at this time'. /currently pounding salt

    2024 expedition vibration

    This is so crazy. My service guy who is an absolute boss and awesome dude… delivered the car back to my office and he said the shop foreman drove the car after they cross balanced the tires and that the only thing that he sensed was some feedback from the low profile tires. Of course, I take...

    2024 expedition vibration

    ‘24 Expy Stealth is currently on a lift for a re-balance as it was pulling hard left. They opened a new ticket. The top manager in the dealership was on hold with Ford for 37 minutes and did not reach anyone. He also made some phone calls to some other individuals who explained course of action...

    2024 expedition vibration

    I am meeting with Sales manager on Wed. I will 'encourage' her to swap the Grabbers for Michelin Defender LTX MS/2's. I will ask for the dealership to cover the cost. My floor is paying the difference between the credit for the Grabbers and the Michelin's. My guy in service showed me $294 as...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Talk about making someone paranoid about everything now. Is the steering wheel supposed to be offset like this? I feel as though it is the steering shaft that is uneven actually.

    2024 expedition vibration

    Thanks for very informative post. Pardon my Swahili but ain’t this some sht… So basically there is no recourse for the ability to drive over 73 MPH and a $90,000 vehicle with a high output, twin turbo V6 without suffering vibration?? I feel like taking the car back to the dealership right now...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Just ordered four Michelin Defender LTX M/2’s through my Service rep at Ford. I’m going to push hard with the sales manager to get a credit for the Grabbers - and if I have to, I will split the cost between the credit and the cost of the Michelins. Will update. Oh and… Left side front and...

    Thanks for the reply. It is my inference that he was referencing reliability/durability. I’ve had 4 Explorers and some minor things do eventually erode/go wrong especially with build quality materials but nothing — and I mean absolutely nothing — has been wrong with the engine. I traded in a 22’...

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Good morning. Just purchased 2024 LTD Stealth. I’m wondering if a 3/2 Ready lift with some 20’s on Michelin Defenders instead of the 22” Generals will help with vibration and ride quality. Live in Miami, Florida and will not off-road. But was wondering what the purpose of the lift was outside...

    2024 expedition vibration

    Introductory Post. Hey all.. 2024 Stealth LTD here. Purchased from Ford of Kendall on 7/17. Unbelievable engine and vehicle except — you guessed it VIBRATION at exactly 73MPH and above. Had Generals RFB’d at independent shop. 1 tire failed, bordering on 2. Vibration remained. Brought to...
