2015 Ford Expedition Electrical System Problems

There is a loud sound coming from behind the glove box when the heater is going. This issue was recalled in 2023 but it has returned.

My 2015 Ford Expedition needs to added to the recall 22S56. I just paid $1,200 to have that part fixed cause it burnt up. Replaced the front blower motor assembly. My husband burnt his hand on the wire exposed under the dash then the mechanic said the blower motor has burnt up the components around it. The fan, motor, control, and wire assembly all was burnt up. Ford needs to be made to include my vehicle in their recall as that vehicle year, model, plant made in and date made all match.

Current recall reference# 22S56 front blower motor on some 2015–2017 Expedition SUVs and have issued a recall for affected vehicles. The front blower motor in certain vehicles may experience overheating and risk of interior fire. So my vehicle has gone thru 2 fixes for recall. But the issue caused by the blower motor was the actual risk of fire were the Wiring Harness. Which were burnt and original from the first repair that were already defaulted. So brand new motor and modular install but no new wiring harness that are already burnt. They just went ahead and plugged them back in with notice or even a heads up that you are still in danger of potential fire

Rear backup camera works periodically, there is a recall on the 2015 Expedition for this problem, but I’m being told my vehicle (VIN) is not included. The repair cost is over $1000. Why ins’t my Expedition included in the recall - I’m having the exact problem as documented in the recall. How many others are being affected by this problem but being excluded in the recall. Please investigate, this problem seems to be larger then the current recall.

The backup camera intermittently won't turn on when shifting into reverse and instead says to contact the dealer for service.

My ac blower went out, and we took it to a shop. The "pigtail" that connects looks to have been melted. I see there is a recall for this for other 2015 expedition, but 0 recalls for my Vin. NOT sure if I can reach out to ford for this since it's not included in the recall.

Purchased 12/2023 2015 Ford Expedition April of 2024 we began to have issues with the Sync System and Climate Control. We took it back to the original dealer and a second Ford dealer and neither was able to diagnose the issue. As they could not get it to duplicate while there. However it has happened numerous times since. The symptoms seem to have no rhyme or reason as to when they will happen, but they do follow the same pattern each time. The Sync screen will turn itself off completely and randomly. Screen goes Black System shuts down as if the power button was pushed. When you do push the power button to turn the system back on the temperature display in the left hand corner will no longer be displayed. This is the indication the system is still not working properly. The Air Conditioner will then turn itself off. Then the blower will switch to defrost and high heat, all in its own. You cannot adjust the setting or turn the heat off. It continues to blow on high heat in defrost mode until it decides to switch back to AC. This could last 2 seconds could be 20 minutes It will also read the gas gauge wrong, registering 20 miles left of gas even if you just filled up. This has all happened in the summer months causing extreme heat in the vehicle even with all the windows down. We replaced the Blower motor resistor and its wiring harness. Checked the blower at the same time, it is running smoothly. We also replaced the relay #3 responsible for climate control. We attempted the replace the intake manifold temperature sensor, but have been sent the wrong sensor twice, and it does not fit correctly. Now we have a fan running so loudly it sounds like out engine is idling high when it is not. We also now have no heat at all in the vehicle. When I checked the recalls the dates for the 2023 (22S56) are within the recall years but our vin says it's not. Manufactured 9/2014 Recall is for 1/2014-6/2017 No heat in the winter and extreme uncontrollable heat in the summer

There was an open recall on our 2015 Ford Expedition for Blower Motor overheating. After fix a week later we took back in as the issue of no fan was still present and told no longer an open recall as it was marked complete, and would need to pay to have resistor and wiring harness for the blower motor replaced.

My vehicle falls under recall 22V648. For has contacted me about doing the repair. I have replaced the blower motor speed controller twice in the last few months and it is bad again due to the recalled blower motor. How can this part not also get replaced as part of the recall?? The recalled part is burning up the wires going to the speed controller/resistor and melting the connection at the resistor.

Smelled smoke, then a small amount of dark smoke was noted to be coming from A/C vents I pulled over & turned off car The smoke stopped. I exited the car & called my husband. I opened the car hood to inspect. There was nothing suspicious. No source of the smell or smoke was identified. I re-entered the car, turned on the engine, and lots of dark smoke exuded from of A/C Vents & the engine. I turned off the engine, left the car & moved away. I called 911. A passer by went into the Post office, returned with a fire extinguisher & sprayed the engine. This seemed to temporize things for a very short time. while on the phone with 911 the car fire started and rather quickly the car became nearly totally engulfed in flames. Then the Police arrived first, followed by the Fire engine. Essentially, "everything that could burn did" (except the gas tank). Known recall (manufacturer #22S56, NHTSA #22V648

I left my recalled vehicle recall 22S56 for repair at Yadkin Valley Motor Co. on 7/27/23, I told them my A/C blower was not working, I had smelled smoke and had noticed the wiring was melted on the blower resistor connection. When I retrieved my vehicle on 7/28/23 I tried the A/C and it did not activate. The service tech. told me he inspected the blower motor connection only. I was not able to leave it there, I called Ford Customer service Case No. [XXX] on 7/28/23 I informed them of my problem and asked for an appointment with a more reputable Ford service dealer near me. While on the phone with Ford and service with Randy Marion Ford West Jefferson NC. I was informed that only the blower motor that was replaced by Yadkin valley motor co. was the only part covered by the recall even though the blower motor was the cause of the resistor electrical overload. I had to replace the blower resistor part myself 7/28/23, My A/C system is working now but I was informed by Randy Marion Ford that the blower that was installed is a temporary fix until the blowers that have been redesigned are distributed. “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

AC stopped and vehicle smelled of burning and smoke. Contacted dealer to have recall 22S56 completed and advised the dealer that the blower motor resister and harness appeared to be melted. Dealer stated they were only responsible for replacing the blower motor and not the damaged components due to the faulty blower motor. This repair was completed June 30, 2023. Today 7/19/2023 the AC has again intermittently stopped working and the vehicle has a much stronger smoke odor and burning smell than before. I contacted Ford who states they will follow up with me in 2 days. This is not acceptable as there is an imminent danger of fire within the vehicle. The resistor and harness are visibly burnt and melted.

Ticket 11535782. Cella Ford repairs for recall has made issue worse. Climate center blower fan will not turn off at all and blows cold 90% of the time. No way at all to defrost/defog windshield or stop air from blowing. Just waiting now for the fire to happen with this vehicle

Blower motor assembly system problems. Have had multiple times replaced/fixed. Issue is ongoing and per dealer is no longer covered my recall. Blower motor does not work. Burnt control box. And per dealer not covered by previous recall

HAD TO FIGHT TO GET CELLA FORD TO COMPLY WITH RECALL ON FRONT BLOWER FAN. FIRST HAD TO FIGHT TO GET APPOINTMENT AND THEM NOT CANCEL DUE TO PARTS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN COULD HAVE FIXED WITH AFTERMARKET PART. WHEN PART IS REPLACED, BAD HUM AND DASH/STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING AND UNIT IS SURGING. CELLA ADMITS TO FAULTY REPLACEMENT PART AND REPLACES AGAIN TO HAVE THE SAME THING CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND STATE THAT THE SURGING IS NOT THEIR FAULT. SO, RECALL NOT COMPLETE, SAFETY HAZARD STILL ALIVE IN THIS VEHICLE DUE TO NO AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WORKING AND UNABLE TO DEFOG WINDSHIELD. THIS DEALERSHIP SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKED INTO ABOUT THIS RECALL.
