2022 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

A-pillar/hinge integrity engineering concern. While opening my door in a parking lot, the wind caught the door before I could catch the door. The door met the hinge stop and flexed enough for the edge of the door panel to contact a bolt on the A-pillar door hinge assembly, causing a small crease in the aluminum door panel. My concern is that in 30 years of driving, I have had a door caught be wind before but never had damage to the vehicle. This was not a strong wind, just enough to catch the door. The A-pillar is now flexed slightly such that the door panel gap is larger and seems related to the actual A-pillar flex, not a hinge failure. Vehicle testing of the 22 Ford Expedition has show some poor performance in the A-pillar area and I am concerned that this door issue is due to poor engineering and strength of the A-pillar. I have had the vehicle inspected at the Ford dealership and a customer service complain with Ford is in process. I do not feel this issue can be attributed to user error or considered "accidental" but is due to structural/safety deficiency of the A-pillar structure.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact opened the liftgate, and the liftgate failed to operate as intended. The contact stated that the liftgate struck the roof and caused the liftgate to be damaged. The contact stated that when it was cold, the liftgate failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and diagnosed that there was insufficient margin between the liftgate and roof spoiler. The contact was provided with Manufacturer's Recall Number: SSM 53469. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

According to Special Service Message (SSM) 51346, Ford has acknowledged that certain 2022-2023 Expedition models may exhibit this issue due to the roof and spoiler components contacting each other. You can find more details on this concern on Ford's official website and in the SSM documentation. My vehicle has experienced this issue

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving in the rain at 60 MPH with the windshield wipers at max speed, the driver’s side windshield wiper started hanging off the side of the windshield and failed to operate as needed. The contact pulled into the nearest gas station and attempted to move the wiper back to the original position; however, the driver’s side windshield wiper failed to move. Despite the failure, the contact continued to drive the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V250000 (Visibility), which was linked to the failure. Two dealers were notified about the failure, and both informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN. The dealers provided estimates for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

When I am completely stop, If I press the cruise control button, it will set the speed at 15 Mph. and will start moving till reaches that speed. I can reproduce that at will, you can see a video here [XXX] After googling this issue, found that I am not the first customer that happens to have that issue. Seee the following thread where a similar issue is described: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The audio system has become inoperable and instead the speakers are blasting static noise with crackling and popping sounds at high volume. Cannot stop it or use any other audio. Very unsafe to drive due to extreme noise level and lack of controls. Appears many people have this issue and there needs to be a recall to fix.

Wipers are the recalled version missing the little block. HOWEVER, the recall is not for my VIN. Coolant keeps disappearing. Hard shifting and or no movement at all while transmission is cold.

Several incidents in which adaptive cruise control resets itself to 90mph when moving into a higher speed limit area- for example, cruising along at 70mph, pass a speed limit sign allowing 75mph, and suddenly the cruise control resets at 90mph. If you are not very consciously thinking about this you quickly find yourself going 90mph. It never resets at 80 or 85- always 90mph. Going 15 or 20 mph faster than thought or planned certainly grabs your attention and is a safety risk.

I am writing to formally report a significant issue with my vehicle that has resulted in damage to the roof and potential long-term integrity concerns. The liftgate spoiler is contacting the roof in freezing temperatures, which creates a hole in the roof when opening the liftgate. Upon inspection, it appears there is an insufficient margin between the liftgate spoiler and the roof area centerline. This problem is particularly concerning because a hole in the roof allows moisture to penetrate, jeopardizing the structural integrity of the roof and potentially leading to further damage, such as rust or water intrusion into the vehicle. I believe this issue may be the result of a design flaw and would like to request an immediate inspection and resolution. As this defect directly impacts the durability and safety of the vehicle, I urge you to treat this matter as a priority. Please let me know how this issue can be resolved, including any repairs, adjustments, or recalls that may apply. I am happy to provide photographs or additional documentation if needed.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced, and the brake pedal needed to be cleaned. The battery was replaced, and the brake pedal was cleaned. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer where it was diagnosed, and the failure was linked to the brake pads and rotors. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 8,065.
