Ford makes A 2 part faulty lugnuts which warps and can cause separation and consequently an accident! I was told at my last oil change January 2022 that I'd need to pay to have the lug nuts changed but they'd put the same. Or I can buy after Market lug nuts which is 1 whole part and pay to replace all of them.
2017 Ford Expedition complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2017 record →
The APIM stopped working as in all ford models with ford sync do. It is a safety hazard do to the driver not being able use the blue tooth sync for the phone, with out it working the driver has to use hands on the phone, creating a safety hazard and breaking a driving law.
Recall # 22V150 for Brake Master Cylinder may leak fluid into Booster. Also Ford's 2 part lug nuts Warp and there should be a recall I already have 2 lugnuts in my back rare passenger tire.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an exhaust manifold leak, the mechanic informed her that the brake master cylinder was also leaking fluid. The independent mechanic replaced the brake master cylinder and brake booster. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 91,818.
Breaks failed due to Master Cylinder failure. Had repaired locally as car barely made repairs shop blocks away after adding break fluid. Was told since I did not use authorized Ford facility I could not be reimbursed for repairs. I see a recall was issued for my Model Year but no recall for my vehicle. It had same problem. If a forced refund is possible I’d be interested. This was in 2019 but still have $823 invoice.
Loss of power, no throttle response while driving. Happens when the throttle is advanced at a faster pace like taking off from a traffic light. I get the "See Manual" message and the wrench symbol. Turning off and then turning back on the vehicle clears the fault. Known problem with the Throttle body.....Can you say Recall?
Backup camera loses connection, does not show image, or is grossly distorted, flashes on screen. Cannot safely use backup camera when backing up. Problem Looks identical to the picture below which is from a recalled mustang.
Back up camera- works intermittently. It becomes blurry, fuzzy, multi colored lines, and sometimes goes blank. Can cause issues with backing into a pedestrian or other obstacle. It has not been reproduced or confirmed by dealer because of intermittent frequency. Has not been inspected either due to intermittent frequency. Took it to dealer to have it looked at, they said there was nothing they could do because of no recall issued on that specific vehicle.
September 2021 vehicle back up camera not functioning properly and loud knocking noise coming from rear interior. Video display is cloudy and not Capturing rear outside picture at all
Phone and Bluetooth are inoperable, as well as usb and auxiliary are inoperable. This presents a danger as the APIM controls a number of functions on the vehicle that could also become safety threat such as relying on the back up camera which has also presented intermittent issues.
Getting tires change and lug nuts are swollen. I heard this is a very common problem and now needs to be replaced.
I was driving the vehicle and it suddenly lost all engine power. The car was still on and running but slowed down to idle speed and was almost rear ended. I was barely able to get it over to the side street where I turned it off and then back on. And it ran like usual and I drove it back home, I was only a mile away. After further research it seems this is a known issue with the throttle body on these vehicles.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact safely pulled over to the side of the roadway and there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
Loss of power brake assist. Warnings appear peddle get hard still have braking. Can leave car sit not running or still be driving and system resets self. Still have fluid in master cylinder. This has happened twice.
I was in an accident where i rear ended the vehicle in front of me and sustained a lot of damage. My my airbag light came on but the airbags failed to deploy. The seatbelt tightened upon first impact and then as i was thrown foward it released and threw me into my steering wheel and did not tighten again
Unable to change tire because of swollen lug nuts: the nominal size socket is too small and the next size up is too large. Had to have vehicle towed to a shop to get the lug nuts removed.
Backup camera displays video while drive forward. Almost like having a tv in front seat. Dealer can not recreate. Happened intermittently. Also goes blank and fuzzy intermittently which there is recall for on 2019 and 2020 models.
My Expedition was set to 45 mph via cruise control in a work zone, at night, on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. While in the first tunnel in the northbound lane with 2 way traffic, I heard a slight pop, then rough running feeling and completely lost acceleration. The power train wrench warning light came on. Since I was on an incline in the tunnel with no way to pull over and the vehicle was going forward at a snail's pace, I decided to continue as far as I could since it was the safest thing to do for all drivers in the tunnel. The Expedition finally crept out of the tunnel and I was able to pull off to the side to let traffic pass. As soon as we had cell phone service, I had my daughter call the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to let them know that we were disabled and in need of assistance. I decided to see what would happen if I turned the vehicle off and restarted. Everything reset and I had power, but for how long? The CBBT police agreed that the safest course of action for all vehicles on the road was to tow my vehicle to the other side as it is dangerous to breakdown on the CBBT, especially in one of the tunnels. I was able to drive home after the tow. However, the following day, I tried to drive it again and it did the same: ran rough, wrench sign, no pop that time, total loss of acceleration. Restarted and made it back home. My husband tested it a few days later after re-cleaning battery cable terminals that had been corroded before we replaced the factory battery, a
Backup camera is intermittently distorted. The AC fan goes off and you have to wiggle a connector under the passenger side dash to get it back on.
Vehicle has 124,058 miles. On this date - Oct 14, 2021, brake pedal got soft, audio and visual warning saying low brake fluid level. Luckily was just slowly pulling into driveway after driving at 55-60 on US 341. Checked brake fluid level. It was indeed very low. Added DOT4 fluid. Drove vehicle slowly in back area and depressed brake pedal several times. Pedal still not quite right. Thought maybe had air in lines. But soon audio/visual warning came on. Checked brake fluid level. Low again. Looked underneath for any obvious leaks - none. Check fire wall - nothing. So assumed fluid was going in to booster. Looked on internet and found other complaints just like this. This is EXTREMELY dangerous. Has anyone been killed yet? The brake parts need to be built like aircraft parts.
While driving today my vehicle lost power and went into limp mode. the warning wrench came on. This is very dangerous, especially on the freeway. There is no where to get off and the vehicle slows to a stop in the middle of traffic. I turned the vehicle off and restarted it to reset the warning. I did get home, very bad situation in the middle of traffic without any warning.
Throttle body failed and vehicle unexpectedly lost power while driving home from the airport at night. I did not initially realize it went into limp mode. The wrench light illuminated on the dash and I had to stop in the travel lane of a busy 45 mph street. I could not pull to the shoulder due to traffic. Other motorists were visibly angry and honking at me. After a little time I tried putting the vehicle in park, shutting it off and tried starting it again. It started with no issue and then died again a few blocks later, fortunately that time it was in a better location with no traffic. I took the vehicle to a Ford dealer the following morning, where I already had an appointment for preventative maintenance including new coolant and spark plugs. I suspected the throttle body failed after researching the issue and found a history of similar problems with other Ford products. The dealership also diagnosed a throttle body failure and charged me for a repair, which involved replacing the throttle body assembly. It is my understanding that Ford has extended warranty coverage on other models and that there may have been a recall campaign involving other models. My 2017 Ford Expedition XLT appears to have had the same issue. This problem could have been EXTREMELY dangerous if it happened on the highway or if a less experienced driver was operating the vehicle. The failure was sudden and unexpected.
Exhaust manifold bolts are breaking causing an exhaust leak and poor emissions. This is a known problem with the eco-boost motor many complaints, Ford does have an update they know the problem is exists and they will not repair it when the car is slightly out of warranty.
Shortly after the car was started and while still parked, a foul smell was detected and black smoke observed coming from the air vents. The vehicle was then turned off however within minutes of safely exiting all passengers from the vehicle, flames came out towards the passenger seat from underneath the glove box. An unsuccessful attempt was made to smother the flames with large wet towels before being successfully put out with the fire extinguisher. 911 was called and the fire department suspected the cause of the fire was the HVAC motor blower. The battery was disconnected and the car towed to the dealership where it has been for the past week. As of yesterday, according to the dealer, the source of the fire is thought to be a short circuit in the HVAC motor blower. The insurance is awaiting the fire report at this point.
Brake failed in parking lot and vehicle crashed into another car. A low brake fluid light came on and very shortly (1 minute) after the brake failed completed. Vehicle was serviced at dealer two months ago. Contacted Ford corporate and Ford dealer. Ford corporate said there is nothing they can do. Ford dealer unresponsive. This is a major safety issue. I have never heard of real issues with complete brake failure on a newer car. Very dangerous.
The electronic throttle body gets stuck closed. The engine stalls or goes into limp mode. At highway speed I then have to try and navigate a dead car to the shoulder or am stuck in the middle lane with cars going past at 70+ mph. This is a known defect in fords engine and other years/models are recalled. 2017 Ford Expedition needs to be added immediately. This is dangerous.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that moisture would leak into all four doors of his vehicle after inclement. Due to the failure, the doors were unable to unlock or open during the winter as moisture would freeze in between the doors. The dealer was initially notified of the failure and referred him to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to NHTSA to file a complaint. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000
THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FORD EXPEDITION ON THE FREEWAY. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING LOW BRAKE FLUID. WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION, AS BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THERE IS A RECALL ON THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM ON THE F150 ECOBOOST. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V-332. FORD'S REFERENCE NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 20S31. THE MY EXPEDITION HAS THEY SAME ISSUE . THE F150 AND EXPEDITION ARE THE SAME UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
Brake master cylinder failed causing brake fluid in the brake booster and little to no breaking at freeway speeds. There is a current recall on same model year F150 with the same 3.5L eco boost engine manufactured out of the same plant as our expedition. Took off the master cylinder and the brake booster was filled with brake fluid. SUV has aprox 67k miles.
Rear-view cameras It is available for inspection. It has been reproduced by Gullo Ford dealership in Conroe, TX. They finally replaced it in 2020 but it continues to black out monthly for periods of time. As far as I know only the dealer has looked at it. No warning it just goes black or distorted. Invoices, letter to Ford, etc. available but I don't know how to upload. Continuing problems we have had with the [XXX] back-up camera and why its not covered now by warranty. Over the 42 months from basically inception we have had the truck up there at least 6 times to have it looked at and repaired, it still goes off for weeks at a time even though they said they replaced it the last time. Well it still doesn't work. The rear-view cameras have been out of service probably 25% of the time we have owned it (42 months). To me, this is a major safety issue. We are grandparents with alot of kids in neighborhood. You can't see out the back of an Expedition clearly without the camera. We also see Ford has recalled your 2020 similar models for the same problem. The rear-cameras are not working now. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
When I recently got tires rotated my vendor (not the car manufacturer) informed me there are known problems with lug nuts on Ford Expeditions; that apparently something about two-layer metal causing swelling and difficulty for tire repair shops to effectively remove them which causes (to a degree) stripping of them. Tire shop employee informed me and also showed me the result after they rotated and you can tell there is an issue.
The rear shocks/struts have each failed twice so far. I have had both replaced once, and the rear passenger side replaced through Ford. I am being told by El Cajon Ford the rear driver's side needs to be replaced again (and the passenger side also because they are supposed to be changed at the same time. I have the Platinum warranty for Ford, which covers the MacPherson Strut (which is what my vehicle has on the rear, it does not have individual shocks). I have had the vehicle less than 4 years, and am looking at putting the 5th set of shocks on the vehicle. For clarification, the MacPherson strut has a shock as part of its assembly. It is not a separate unit, it is a component of the MacPherson strut.
Breakfast fluid leaking, brake fluid light on. Found brake master cylinder leaking inside of brake booster.
Brakes failed while driving. Mechanics found all brake fluid leaked internally from master cylinder into the brake booster. I have another Ford vehicle that was recalled for this exact problem in 2017.
Car stops accelerating at various speeds on numerous occasions, and cannot get vehicle to propel. No propulsion occurs. Must bring vehicle to complete stop, turn off, and turn back before it will accelerate. Large wrench appears on screen, but disappears after the car is restarted. Safety issue because you cannot maintain speed or accelerate, was almost rear-ended and created potential accident trying to pull vehicle over. Took two visits to the authorized dealer to diagnose the problem as their was no "code" apparent to dealer, and was almost rear ended in between those visits. Vehicle owner quickly googled problem and noticed that N. Carolina Consumers Council had successfully petitioned NHTSA for this issue on other Fords, but that recall appears not to have included these Expeditions. Dealer replaced the throttle body.
Wife started car. Pushed on the brake to put it in gear. Brake pedal went to floor. Checked master cylinder. Cylinder was completely empty. Brake fluid leaked past seals in master cylinder into the brake booster, then got sucked into engine and burned. No warning lights came on at all.. Luckily wife was at the pool down the road from our house when it happened. She drove 5 mph back to the house. A four year car should not have a faulty brake master cylinder. Master cylinders should last for at least 10 years. Ford has a major problem brewing.
During a recent routine mileage based tire rotation and balance at an independent service center , the technician had difficulty placing the socket onto the lug nuts to remove them. He had to tap the socket wrench with a hammer to get the socket onto the nut. Tech illustrated where the lug nuts had swollen and he had seen this on other Ford vehicles. This factory lug nut is a 2-part assembly and swells over time to the point where a standard and factory supplied socket on the vehicle would not work properly if there was a situation where the tire needed to be changed .ie.. a flat on the side of the highway. This vehicle is less than 5 yrs. old... I purchased a complete new set of 24 lug nuts before leaving. A true safety issue of one being able to use the vehicle equipment to safely remove and replace a tire without concern over whether the socket will fit the lug nuts AND removing the lug nuts from the socket. I have opened a case with Ford.
TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE BACKING UP , ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, SHIFTED TO FORWARD TO AVOID ACCIDENT , LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID IN MASTER CYLINDER TO BRAKE BOOSTER. EXACT SYMPTOMS AS RECALL 20S31 WITH 2014 TO 2017 F150. THE EXPEDITION IS ON AF150 CHASSIS . ACCORDING TO DEALER NOT UNDER RECALL BUT PROBABLY SHOULD BE. OUT OF WARRANTY. REPAIRED ON MY DIME. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND CLEANED BOOSTER. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT TIME OF INCIDENT. JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE BOAT RAMP OR HIGHWAY

I WAS DRIVING TO A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE WHICH NEEDED CORRECTING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CARS ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT NO ACCELERATION. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD, WITHOUT BEING HIT, AND CONTINUED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT THEY BLAMED THE INCIDENT ON A BAD BATTERY AND I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE BECOMES CATASTROPHIC IN MY OPINION. ON NOVEMBER 1, 2020 MY WIFE AND TWO FRIENDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND HEADING OUT OF TOWN. WE LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS PART OF ARIZONA. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ON A FAIRLY LEVEL STRETCH AND IN THE RIGHT LANE. THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR AGAIN FAILED TO FUNCTION. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED THE CAR AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME, ABOUT A 120 MILE DETOUR. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY DETERMINED IT TO BE A FAILED THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT MUCH WORSE. HAD WE BEEN PASSING A TRUCK, CAUGHT IN THE LEFT LANE AND ON A STEEP GRADE WITH NO ACCELERATION, WHO KNOWS THE OUTCOME. I CONTACTED FORD FOR THEM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE THROTTLE BODY REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. THEY DID COVER THAT COST, BUT I ALSO ASKED THEM TO GIVE ME AN ASSURANCE THE REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT DO THE SAME FAILURE AFTER SO MANY MILES. BY THE WAY OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAD 55K MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP T
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT WAS NOT WORKING AND SO I USED THE BRAKE TO PULL OVER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE FAILED AND BROKE IN HALF CAUSING ALL THE FLUID TO PUMP OUT OF TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING ON A VERY BUSY FAST MOVING ROAD. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 34000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN SERVICED ONLY BY FORD. FORD TELLS US THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT OUR COST AND IS NOT COVED UNDER THEIR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. AFTER INSPECTING THE TRANSMISSION LINE THE ENTIRE DEALERSHIP AGREES THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART.
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO LIGHT UP THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHTS WHICH IS UNKIND FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
