Owner complaints17

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Owners report several issues with the 2022 Ford Expedition's electrical system, notably involving the audio system, which frequently creates extremely loud static and popping noises that persist even when the vehicle is turned off. This problem has led to driver distraction and potential hearing injuries, with some reports indicating the need to disconnect the battery to stop the noise. Additionally, multiple owners describe failures in advanced driver assistance systems, including non-functional adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring due to corroded connectors, often appearing before 25,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, with some incidents leading to loss of vehicle control. These patterns suggest potential risks for used car buyers considering this model.

Severity signals: 0 crash, 0 fire, 3 injury reports

Owner complaints16

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Owners report several recurring issues with the 2022 Ford Expedition. A significant number of complaints involve spontaneous shattering of the sunroof and rear glass, often occurring while the vehicle is in motion, with some incidents resulting in glass falling inside the cabin. Additionally, multiple owners describe severe audio system malfunctions, characterized by loud popping and static noises that persist even after the vehicle is turned off, sometimes requiring the removal of fuses to stop the noise. These audio issues and glass failures often occur at relatively low mileage, with some reports mentioning incidents happening around 19,600 miles. Safety implications include potential distractions and physical harm from glass shards, as well as the inability to focus on driving due to the audio disturbances. These patterns suggest possible defects that may be of concern to prospective buyers.

Owner complaints14

POWER TRAIN

Owners report frequent issues with the 2022 Ford Expedition's power train, particularly regarding harsh or erratic transmission shifting. Complaints often describe violent or unpredictable gear changes, sometimes accompanied by a clunking noise, especially when the vehicle is cold or transitioning between reverse and drive. These issues often emerge at varying mileages, with some reports starting as early as 319 miles. Several owners also mention sudden loss of acceleration or unintended surges, which can pose safety risks such as loss of control or difficulty navigating traffic. Buyers considering a used model should be aware of these potential transmission concerns and verify if any repairs or updates have been performed.

Owner complaints10

STRUCTURE

Owners report several structural issues with the 2022 Ford Expedition, primarily involving the sunroof windscreen and liftgate spoiler. Complaints frequently mention the sunroof windscreen detaching while driving at highway speeds, with one owner experiencing this issue twice at around 32,000 miles. Additionally, multiple owners describe problems with the liftgate spoiler, including misalignment, contact with the roof, and damage during cold weather or when opening the trunk, with incidents occurring as early as 19,000 miles. These issues can lead to potential safety risks, such as parts detaching while driving, which could pose hazards to other vehicles.

Owner complaints8

SERVICE BRAKES

Owners report several issues with the service brakes on the 2022 Ford Expedition, with a recurring problem of brake line defects leading to fluid leaks and reduced braking performance. Complaints frequently mention symptoms such as loud squealing noises, diminished stopping power, and, in some cases, sudden "phantom braking" where the vehicle brakes unexpectedly without driver input. One owner details a crash incident due to complete brake failure, attributed to a burst brake line, which aligns with a known recall issue. These problems appear across various mileage ranges, with some occurring shortly after purchase. Safety implications include the risk of crashes due to brake failure, making it crucial for potential buyers to verify recall repairs and brake system functionality before purchase.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 0 injury reports

Owner complaints7

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Owners report multiple issues with the 2022 Ford Expedition's vehicle speed control, particularly involving the adaptive cruise control system. Common symptoms include the cruise control unexpectedly resetting to 90 mph, regardless of the initially set speed, and instances where the vehicle accelerates without driver input, sometimes by as much as 15-30 mph above the set speed. One complaint describes a crash resulting from sudden, uncontrolled acceleration while stopped in traffic. These issues are noted at various speeds and conditions, including during rain and when transitioning between speed zones. Safety implications are significant, given the potential for loss of control and collisions, as evidenced by the reported crash.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 0 injury reports

Owner complaints6

FUEL SYSTEM

Owners of the 2022 Ford Expedition frequently report issues related to the fuel system, primarily involving delays in recall repairs and symptoms such as vehicle hesitation during acceleration and stalling. Complaints often describe a lack of available parts for recall repairs, with some owners expressing concern about the extended wait times. Symptoms such as stalling occur at various mileages, notably around 59,844 miles, and one report notes a failure of the fuel pump module at 7,250 miles. Safety implications include instances where vehicles lose motive power without warning, posing potential risks, especially during driving. Buyers should be aware of these reported issues and verify whether recall repairs have been completed before purchasing.

Owner complaints4

VISIBILITY

Owners of the 2022 Ford Expedition report several visibility-related issues. One common problem involves the windshield wipers, with one owner describing a scenario where the driver's side wiper failed to operate correctly during rain at highway speeds, leading to reduced visibility. Another issue involves a mildew odor and water accumulation in the passenger side wheel well, potentially causing electrical concerns, noted at approximately 14,000 miles. Additionally, there are reports of the sunroof glass shattering unexpectedly, with one incident described as sounding like a gunshot. These issues occur at varying mileages, with no reports of crashes or injuries, but potential safety implications due to impaired visibility and possible electrical faults.

Owner complaints3

ENGINE

Owners of the 2022 Ford Expedition report issues related to engine performance and control. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle stalling when stopped in traffic, requiring the transmission to be placed in "park" to restart, often after longer drives, suggesting a potential issue with the fuel injection system. Another owner describes unintended acceleration while stationary, leading to a crash with four injuries reported, highlighting significant safety implications. Additionally, at low mileage (around 1,000 miles), one owner reports a high-pitched noise and abnormal shaking, indicating potential software-related engine issues. These reports collectively suggest that prospective buyers should be aware of potential engine-related reliability and safety concerns.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 4 injury reports
