Brand new 2024 ford expedition bought on 12/18/2024, came with a hairline crack on the transmission housing. Only leaked while driving at operating temperature. First noticed leak at 1600 miles transmission started operating faulty shortly there after. Could have been much worse if transmission failed at highway speeds. Dealer found hairline crack at around 4000 miles after multiple dealer visits. Currently at shop awaiting new transmission from manufacturer.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined that the panoramic sunroof brackets had fractured and needed to be replaced. The brackets were replaced; however, the failure later reoccurred. The contact was informed by the local dealer that the sunroof glass was too heavy for the brackets used to secure the sunroof. The contact was concerned that once the vehicle was repaired, the failure would likely recur. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 10,000.
The issue involves the purchase of a 2024 Ford Expedition Max, VIN [XXX] , which purchased on [XXX] from Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. Since purchasing this vehicle, I have encountered the following persistent issues that substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle: The vehicle was sold to me seemingly infested with rodents, which ate away much of the internal wiring of the engine compartment. The wiring is manufactured with soy-based sheathing, which is a well-known defect and further known to attract rodents/vermin and as I only possessed the vehicle in question for 3 weeks and 5 days (when first sensor light came on and only drove it 1383 miles (7 weeks total). I have been forced to make an insurance claim for this damage, which I feel was resultant of a manufacturing defect, but due to the inexcusable part delay in obtaining replacement wiring, the rental on my policy ran out. I have requested on several occasions, a VIN swap for a different vehicle and was told that this was not something the dealership could do. Despite these defects not being addressed at the Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. I believe the wiring damage is too extensive to be adequately and safely repaired and I have been without my vehicle, while still making payments and paying out of pocket for transportation for 3 months now. Alton Blakely Ford of Corbin still has not repaired this clearly defective vehicle and the defects continue to exist. As of this letter, the vehicle's odometer reads 1,396 and I have only had the vehicle available to me for my usage for 3 weeks and 5 days. The vehicle is still in the shop and the only response I receive from them is that they are waiting on the part and they have no ide when it may be available. I have written to Ford Motor company and after many e-mail exchanges, the matter was closed by them with no resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Malfunction: powered running board on the passenger side of vehicle while vehicle was in park with door open and engine running. It closed while my hisband was resting his right foot on it and then it opened and closed and his foot and lower ankle was getting crushed. I had to run around to passenger side and when I opened the right rear passenger door the running board released and opened up. The car will be going to the dealer for its first oil change etc. and I will talk to them about this incident.
Applied brakes and instead of braking, vehicle accelerated on its own. Please note, when brake applied, felt resistance and simultaneously vehicle accelerated into lane of traffic. Rate of speed was very low, as I was coming to a stop in a parking lot. No warning lights on dash, dealership confirmed it was not the floor mats, there are no loose items in vehicle. My safety was put at risk as well as anyone walking/crossing the walk area and any vehicles that may have been in the lane of traffic. I immediately contacted dealership and was told to bring it in. The dealership has the vehicle currently, information provided to me by dealership. The vehicle was running self tests. Now the Tech has opened a Ford Hotline report, have not been able to duplicate issue and now awaiting response from Ford as to how proceed in diagnosing vehicle. Incident occurred July 25, 2024.
Bottom of door has a razor-sharp edge that lacerates your leg. See picture.
I have a 2024 FORD Expedition Platinum I purchased new in May 2024. It has a vehicle vibration at 70+ MPH. This vibration is severe and felt through the entire SUV. Our retailer has tried all that FORD will allow under warranty to correct the problem. This includes rotating, rebalancing and replacing all the tires. Yet the problem prevails. The dealer service manager told me that complaints have come in from other owners expressing the same problem. However there has been no forward progress at this point. My concern is with this vibration, over time there will be some component fatigue and failure. And, I feel FORD is not actively engaged in correcting the issue. HELP.
Two issues with a brand new vehicle that is in the service department and they are unable to diagnose the issue. The major concern is regarding the braking system. While in a parking lot driving slowly (5-10 mph) the brakes suddenly locked up and the vehicle came to a complete stop. A message appeared reading "Brake system failure, have brakes serviced". The message then went away and the vehicle was able to continue. The other issue is a front sensor keeps beeping as if there is something in that area. The brake issue is concerning, if we were on the interstate traveling at 70 mph this could be a major safety issue and puts us in danger. The car only has 300 miles on it.
The vehicle vibrates substantially at 60-80 mph. Vibrates at lower speeds as well but not as bad. Dealer has had the car for over 40 days. All new expeditions and Lincoln navigators have it as I have driven over 15 now. Vibration is clearly noticeable. Many sales people comment say it’s tires. The dealer shop foreman all acknowledge it. They have balanced tires and driveshaft- charged me for all of it. We have a small business and drive across country a lot. This makes the vehicle useless for that purpose. This was noticed within one mile of the dealership the day of purchase.
