So disappointed in Ford

I bought this car used and after only one week the blower motor went out which happened again three times within the next year. When moving across the country I was stranded for two days in a motel because something in my acceleration broke. In my last oil change I was shown coolant in my oil which means head gasket. That should be a couple thousand. Today I got in and the AC is t working. Not to mention how many plastic pieces have broken when pulling the seats forward. For the amount of money this car should be my dream but instead it is a money pit. I’ve sunk $3500 into it and I haven’t even owned it for two years. They are so confused at the dealership that I take it to saying they’ve never seen this before. I’m always waiting with the credit card for the next repair. This car has spent more time in the shop then my done 2003 Chevy.

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.

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!!!

Bought this with 28,000KM over 2 years ago. Replaced the blower fan and the control board for centre console electronics after warranty expired. Still enjoy driving the vehicle and find it very good in the snow with all wheel drive on. Comfortable, quiet and safe driving long distances.
