2018 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

IN COLDER TEMPERATURES, THE ENTIRE INTERIOR DOOR MECHANISMS FREEZE UP AND DO NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGERS TO EXIT OR ENTER THE VEHICLE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE HAD TO CRAWL TO THE BACK SEAT TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE STARTED INTERMITTENTLY AND WORSENED. THE CONTACT CALLED DICK SMITH FORD OF COLUMBIA (7201 GARNERS FERRY RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29209, (803) 254-4000) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS25128240. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,736.

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE FORD DEALER FOUND ALL FOUR OF MY SUSPENSION STRUTS WERE LEAKING. UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED FROM 50 FEET IN THE AIR, THERE IS NO REASON FOUR STRUTS SHOULD BE LEAKING. IT HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE STRUTS.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE DOWN SHIFTING FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH GEAR. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACTUALLY SHAKE AND FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS JARRED. IT IS WORSE WHEN YOU HAVE THE BREAK APPLIED TO COME TO A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE NEW 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT'S FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. HOWEVER IT'S VERY ALARMING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND STARTLES PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE.

THE SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS ON THE 2018 FORD EXPEDITION PLATINUM ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN ADJUSTING THE MIRROR TO A PRE-PROGRAMMED NUMBER, THE MIRRORS WILL START TO ADJUST THEMSELVES AND UNFORTUNATELY WILL GET STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP OF MOVING, CLICKING, MOVING, CLICKING, ETC... THE MIRROR FAILS TO ADJUST TO THE PROPER LOCATION AND THE MIRROR MOTOR CAN'T BE STOPPED UNTIL THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (I.E. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR. I'M SURE IF THE MOTOR ON THE MIRROR WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO ADJUST ITSELF IN AN ENDLESS LOOP, IT COULD POSE A FIRE HAZARD (NOT TO MENTION THE FUNCTION ITSELF IS FAULTY). THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING MANY OTHERS ON FORUMS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT OFFERED TO RESOLVE IT FOR ANY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS ISSUE CAN OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2018 EXPEDITION ARE AWFUL. THEY ARE FAR TOO DIM AND DISTANCE COVERAGE IS FAR TOO SHORT. THEY HAVE A SHARP CUT OFF THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY OF THEM. THE BRIGHTS ARE BETTER, BUT NOT NEARLY WHAT THEY SHOULD BE FOR A 2018, $60K+ VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. NOT CONFIDENT THAT I WOULD SEE SOMETHING IN THE ROAD WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME TO SAFELY AVOID IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO O. C. WELCH FORD LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 4920 INDEPENDENCE BLVD, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927, (843) 288-0100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR EVAPORATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,730. *AS

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT STILL MOVES AND HAS HIT ME AND SOME OF THE PASSENGERS GETTING OUT THE CAR WITH THE DOORS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE ALMOST RUNNING US OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK ACCORDING TO DIAL. HOWEVER, IT STILL MOVED.

VEHICLE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE/RIM/CYLINDER HAS A POPPING SOUND. IT POPS AS IF THE CALIBER OR BRAKES HAVE SOMETHING BROKE OR DIRT IN IT. I CAN HEAR THIS WHEN DRIVING SLOW AND WHEN IN REVERSE BACKING UP. ONLY HEAR SOUND WHEN DRIVING. BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND OR FIX THIS PROBLEM.
