Electrical Nightmare!
Bought this new. Had it 20 months now. At 76000km now. It’s spent 2 months on and off at the ford dealership since new. All electrical issues. Wipers, heater, side sensor, parking sensor, rear defroster, door locks, horn beeping twice absolutely every time I open or close the door.... you name it! It’s been a nightmare! When the pad under the front of the expedition filled with ice and become disconnected at the front and started scooping ice off the road at highway speed, I called roadside assistance and they asked if I could crawl under and disconnect the back of the pad! I ended up calling neighbors to come help out as it was -20 degrees out and I had children on board. Absolutely the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. Ford itself doesn’t know how to fix their own product! Also has rear stabilizers broke before the first oil change, they were replaced, and have been replaced again since then. The only thing good about it was the ride was smooth and felt safe when the heater worked. I wouldn’t recommend this vehicle for anyone who makes a lot of miles with a family.... it’s unreliable. One highly distracting feature is the climate control for the back passengers is never an easy set up. Every time you start the vehicle you have to go through the menu to give permission to the back seat so they can set their own temperature!!! It’s frustrating!

Not without its problems
Purchased this 2017 XLT with 60k miles. Within 3 months we ended up having to replace the throttle body, sync interface module, the heater blower motor, and a front wheel bearing. This thing is great to drive and if driven right can exceed 22 mpg on the freeway. I am concerned about reliability as I plan to drive it as long as possible.

The gift that keeps on giving!
Bought the expedition used in 2019 for 33k. Original price was 70k but only 2 years old thought it was a great deal! It seems like everything that can break will eventually so far I’ve needed to fix or replace: Heater / ac blower harness Wheel bearing hub Rear taillight every 6 months Rear backup camera Windshield wiper assembly- this is my favorite as the passenger side wiper stopped working and I thought it would be an easy fix but oh no you have to replace the entire wiper unit For some reason the windows move up and down very slow and dirt gets trapped in the base molding on the exterior and all the windows have vertical scratches. Ac in seats does not work anymore Saved the best for last: driver side heat/ ac doesn’t work, it’s called a blend door, it’s a 60$ part through ford and the kicker is it’s 2000$ in labor to get to the blend door unit to replace it. Oh yeah thanks ford for the gift that keeps on giving!!!

Great Solid vehicle
I purchased this truck one year used with low miles. It has been a solid truck, no reliability issues. Starts in the winter and has great traction. Have taken a few long trips and it is very comfortable. Mileage for what it is is good. I get about 15 city and 21 highway and that eco boost turbo has plenty of power. Overall I am very happy with it.

2017 Expedition EL Platinum power running boards
I bought this Expedition used (12K miles) two years ago. I have been very satisfied with everything. After returning from vacation, I scheduled a regular oil change (36000 miles and 3 years old) with the local dealership and also mentioned the power running boards were noisy and acting up. The running board pivots and motors need to be changed at over $1500 per side. Since the mileage is 762 miles and 20 days out of bumper to bumper warranty, it's on me. The service writer gave me Ford Customer Service number. Customer Service could find NO warranty information other than the VIN and date of service. The vehicle had been a Canadian rental fleet vehicle which I bought through a US Ford dealership. Since there is nothing in the base, there is no warranty....just my tough luck.
