2009 Ford Expedition problems
The Ford Expedition is a full-size three-row SUV, manufactured by Ford. Introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor of the Ford Bronco, the Expedition was the first full-size Ford SUV sold with a four-door body. For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F-150 in production, sharing some body and mechanical components. The fourth-generation Ford Expedition began production for the 2018 model year. Similar to the configuration of the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the Ford Expedition is sold in regular and extended lengths (the Ford Expedition EL/Max); sold since 2007, the latter functionally serves as the replacement for the Ford Excursion.
Since 1997, the Lincoln division has marketed the Ford Expedition as the Lincoln Navigator, the first full-size SUV sold by a luxury auto brand in North America (the Expedition was never sold as a Mercury). The third Ford vehicle to use the Expedition nameplate, the full-size SUV follows a 1992 F-150 Eddie Bauer concept vehicle and a 1995 trim level package on the two-door Ford Explorer Sport.
Prior to 2009, the Ford Expedition was assembled at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan (previously home to the Ford Bronco). After 2009, the Ford Expedition was moved to the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky.

This is the most versatile vehicle we have ever owned. Our grandkids can easily get in and out of their child seats and the third row thanks to the second-row buckets.

We just purchased a used 08 Expedition Limited 4x4. We absolutely love this thing! We drove it 600 miles at 78 mph and got 18.3 mpg. The ride is great, even for a 6'6

I bought my 08 Eddie Bauer after my 02 Explorer bit the dust. Initially, I wanted the Limited, but chose the Eddie because it had the chrome grille and the Limited did not. I absolutely LOVE my new truck! Every time I get into it, I can't help but remark about how comfortable it is. My husband loves it too. The third row folding seats are a godsend. I will always be a Ford customer. I love this truck and I hope they continue making it for a long time to come.

Are you having problems with your 2009 Ford Expedition?
Tod Boyer 2024-04-05
Hi there! I recently purchased my first Ford truck, but unfortunately, I've been experiencing some issues with it. I've had to go to the dealership every 6 months to have the computer chip reset so that my truck will continue to drive properly. Despite my efforts, Ford motors says there is no solution for my problem. I've gone to the dealership 4 times with the same issue since I purchased the truck. Additionally, the gear shift sticks and the gas cap was faulty, causing the engine lights to come on. It's frustrating to have these issues with a brand new truck, especially since I've never had to replace a gas cap on any of my previous cars. I hope Ford motors can find a solution to these problems soon. Thank you for listening to my concerns.
