2022 Ford Expedition problems

ford logo

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.

Common 2022 Ford Expedition problems

The Ford Expedition, a full-size SUV, is known for its reliability, but like any vehicle, it can develop issues as it accumulates mileage. Here are some common problems reported by owners of the 2022 Ford Expedition:

  • Blower Motor Only Working on High: Some owners have experienced issues with the blower motor only functioning on the highest setting. This can be inconvenient, especially during colder weather when more heat is required.
  • Air Suspension Failure: The 2022 Ford Expedition's air suspension system can fail, causing the back end of the vehicle to drop and making the ride feel bumpy and uncontrollable. Repairing this issue can cost up to $1,500, and some owners have opted to convert the air suspension to a traditional one using conversion kits.
  • Faulty Airbags and Seatbelts: Some 2022 Expedition owners have reported problems with the airbags and seatbelts, which can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
  • Malfunctioning Trailer Brake Systems: A software error can cause the trailer brake system to malfunction, leading to extended stopping distances and an increased risk of accidents.
  • Missing Features: Some owners have reported that their vehicles were missing features they had paid for, such as Active Park Assist and hands-free rear hatch opening. This can be disappointing and may require additional costs to rectify.

To address these issues, it's essential to stay on top of the vehicle's repair and maintenance schedule. If you encounter any problems, consider consulting a trusted mechanic for advice and repair options.

STRUCTURE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-12-07
  • VIN: 1FMJU1JT7NE
  • Components: STRUCTURE
  • Summary: In December of 2023 (not even one full year after purchasing my brand new Ford Expedition) I used the FOB to remotely open the trunk on my 2022 Ford Expedition. Upon doing so, I heard popping and cracking sounds. I didn't see any damage, so I didn't think anything of it until I drove on the interstate and immediately heard a violent slapping noise coming from the back of my vehicle. I took the truck to the dealership (where I purchased my vehicle). They inspected the vehicle and said that the spoiler is misaligned and loose - causing the sound and also resulting in a dent on the roof of the vehicle. The dealership said that Ford would not cover the repair under their FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. Three other people with new Ford Expeditions at my dealership have experienced this exact issue. (Also a simple Google search of "Ford spoiler issue" will demonstrate that many others have experienced this issue.) I am extremely nervous to drive my vehicle anywhere as it sounds and feels like the spoiler is going to fly off of the vehicle especially when I drive on the interstate. This is a HUGE safety issue. The spoiler is loose and could fly off on the highway and cause an accident or hit another vehicle. NHTSA is aware of this issue and submitted an SSM to Ford [XXX] ), but Ford will not recall or cover repairs to their vehicles that have a defect and pose a safety risk. This needs to be immediately rectified before someone is seriously hurt. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-07-15
  • VIN: 1FMJU1JT1NE
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION
  • Summary: Since purchasing this vehicle in January of 2023, it has been to the dealer three times to repair a failed blind spot monitoring system and rear cross traffic alert system due to corroded pins in the connectors of the sensors. According to the dealer, this is due to the connector utilizing only four of eight pins which leaves four pins unused and open to corrosion. On the third trip in, the dealer applied, "super glue" to try and prevent any future corrosion. While there was not a specific accident related to this, I do believe this has the potential to cause issues in the future if not properly addressed by Ford. See attached pdf from dealer for additional supporting information.

Negative 2022 Ford Expedition car reviews

  1. Dawson Schuppe 2024-07-21

    I own a 2021 Ford Expedition Limited and while it has some great features, I have had some challenges with it. I have found it to be a bit rough and loud, and it requires frequent gas fill-ups. Additionally, there have been some recalls that Ford has not yet been able to fix. Despite these issues, I have been unable to find a GMC on a lot anywhere to compare. If you are in the market for a full-size SUV, I would recommend test driving all options to find the one that fits you best. Overall, while the Ford Expedition Limited has some drawbacks, it still has some great features worth considering.

  2. Devon Aufderhar 2024-04-16

    I recently purchased a 2021 Expedition Max Limited, trading in my loaded 2013 Expedition EL XLT. While the exterior looks nice and appears to be well-built, I have noticed a significant decrease in the build quality of the 2021 model compared to my 2013. The EcoBoost engine is louder than the 5.4 V-8, and the interior stitching on the seats is subpar. Additionally, the seats feel slightly smaller and less comfortable than my previous model. The interior creaks and rattles, and the rear bucket seats shake over every crack in the road. The ride is rough and loud, making every bump in the road noticeable. Unfortunately, I experienced a faulty fuse box at only 500 miles, which required a tow back to the dealership. While Ford initially wanted me to pay for the towing, the dealership did cover the cost. The rear cargo area has also been downgraded, with the adjustable floor panels being replaced with a cheap and light floor covered in fabric. The auto headlights work but are a little too touchy, blinking from low to high to low more often than necessary. Despite these issues, I must say that the exterior of the vehicle looks nice. However, the numerous flaws in the interior of this high-end vehicle are concerning. I hope that Ford can improve the quality of their vehicles in the future. In the meantime, I am considering purchasing a Nissan Armada, which I have found to be the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven.

  3. Raphael Gutmann 2024-01-13

    The car was purchased in March 2023. Unfortunately, within 5 miles of driving off the dealer lot, the check engine light turned on. Despite the dealer's initial claim that it was just a simple emissions check, it was discovered that both catalytic converters needed to be replaced. Additionally, the transmission became clunky and would slip when merging on highways. While the car has lots of power and is comfortable, it is advisable to stay away from former rental units. It is important to note that ecoboost engines are known to require meticulous maintenance schedules.

Positive 2022 Ford Expedition car reviews

  1. Bennett Gibson 2024-11-25

    I love it! The car is big and has all the modern features with the feeling of a solid SUV. These are the most comfortable seats I've had in a long time. The 2021 model has the navigation and on-screen controls tucked in the dash in a reasonably sized screen.

  2. Antonio Kunde 2024-11-09

    I can't complain about anything....after I got used to the size. Tows our boat without a complaint. Have to check every once in a while, to make sure it's still there. It's a great ride and it carries everything we need for our trips. No more putting stuff in the boat in plastic bags. It's also very comfortable, providing the most comfortable ride we have ever had. The performance is beyond our expectations. Although we had to wait six months, it was well worth it.

  3. Blake Jaskolski 2024-11-03

    As the owner of an entertainment company, I needed a vehicle with ample storage space for my speakers and equipment. After an extensive search, I found the perfect fit. Although I initially considered the 4Runner, I found it to be too boxy and trick-like for my taste. The Tahoe and Suburban were also great options, but their higher price point, lower gas mileage, and engine reliability ratings made me hesitant. However, I was fortunate enough to come across a pre-owned 2022 Ford Expedition Limited with the Stealth package, which had everything I was looking for! The vehicle is beautifully designed with comfortable leather seats (heated and cooled), a massive touch screen, and a smooth and quiet ride despite its size. I would highly recommend taking a test drive when shopping for pre-owned vehicles, as some of the Expeditions I test drove felt worn out and had looser handling.

    I really love this vehicle! I recently did a solo cross-country trip from Florida to Arizona and back, and I had no issues at all.

    Traded a 2021 4Runner and got a new 2021 XLT Expedition... and I'm thrilled with it! It drives very smoothly, has lots of features, and looks both classy and sporty. So far, I'm getting 18.7 mpg... as long as I keep it out of sport mode. LOL I love the exterior and interior, and there's plenty of cargo space too.
