The fuel filler assembly on our 2018 ford expedition broke while filling the vehicle with fuel, causing the entire fuel filler assembly to pop out of the side of the vehicle. The parts appear to be made of weak plastic and/or may be caused by poor design execution. The concern is that this defect could cause fuel to leak out of the assembly and/or the broken parts may render the vehicle unable to be filled with fuel and leave the driver stranded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed the issue and ordered replacement parts.

The vehicle "chatters" when starting first thing in the morning and sometimes after it sits for a few hours(when engine has had time to cool down). It started about two months ago. We recently took our expedition to an independent mechanic to have it checked over prior to a road trip. Their diagnosis was a loose timing chain and their recommendation was to take it to a licensed ford dealership. I contacted three local ford dealerships and their estimated next available service dates were between 4 and 6 weeks. Plus they are having problems getting some parts.

2018 expedition max limited with 91k miles overheated and blew a head gasket sitting in a home depot parking lot.

I pulled out of my driveway taking a left and as i pressed the gas to accelerate up the hill it seemed as though my car went into neutral. It would not go. I took my foot off the gas and waited a second or two and then pushed down on the accelerator again and then the car took off as normal. Since that first time this situation has begun happening almost daily sometimes several times a day. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership and of course they can never get it to duplicate what it does to me. Concerning to me is if this happens when i pull into traffic and can't get out of the way of an oncoming vehicle.

Told needed to replace rear struts when took into service at 46,690 miles. Never had to do this before. Saw ford has a safety message (ssm 47624) on this for 2017 and 2018 expeditions. Never had to do this so early in a vehicle's life. I don't tow or go off road. Was not covered by extended premium warranty

I understand the welds for high pressure fuel pump may fracture. I have already had repaired, running rough on start up plus white smoke from tail pipe. I believe there is another problem occurring, as before in april 2019. It is february 2021, and and running as before. They torn my engine down, keeping for 4-5 days.

We have a 20018 ford expedition platinum, 2wd (rear wheel drive). Bought brand new. For the past month we've been having what seems like transmission issues. Car has 45,000 miles on it. A few times a day the transmission fails to shift at all; essentially goes in-between gears, revs high, but absolutely no movement. Usually soon after moving from a start, so maybe 2nd to 3rd gear or 3rd to 4th gear. It happens without any warning. Has nothing to do with the care being hot or cold. It is very scary because one of the times, i had pulled out from a gas station onto a highway, accelerating normally to keep up with oncoming traffic with i lost all power to the wheels. Engine continued revving. There was no tire slipping - just no movement whatsoever. Took it into the ford dealer (golden circle ford) in jackson tn where they evaluated the vehicle and found nothing wrong with it. They apparently put it on the computer and drove it; and were unable to duplicate the problem. They gave me a ridiculous explanation that the vehicle is 'learning' (aka "adapting") to my driving style and that it was normal behavior. That was last week. Since then, the shifting between low gears has become someone rougher/ with some hesitancy. I did research these vehicle and apparently there may be an issue with the 10 speed automatic transmissions now being used in the f150 trucks with many people describing similar transmission problems. I just wanted to let you know that there is a potential issue, that can also be very dangerous if the car stops moving in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. Thank you.
