The HVAC blower motor connector for the Ford has completely burned out. When in use, it is hot to the touch (too hot too touch sometimes) and emits an electrical burning smell. The HVAC unit now only works on high and if the unit is connected in a certain angle. I took the vehicle into FORD in Kirksville,MO and their technician told me it wasn't covered under the blower motor recall and it was going to cost $600+ to repair. When I asked the technician that upon replacing the part, what would keep it from happening again I was told FORD realized the grounding wire in the connector wasn't strong enough to hold the charge, and they have sense come out with a part where the grounding wire is "heavy duty". When I contacted FORD about the issue they informed me that it was not covered under the blower motor...

Ford has stated that its not a part of the blower motor recall and wants us to pay for repairs.

At approximately 100,000 miles our park assist camera began to distort, and over the course of several weeks it finally stopped working. This has not caused any issues so far, but could pose a minor safety risk until it's fixed, as reversing in a large SUV like our Expedition EL leaves much to be desired without a park assist camera.

Recall on 2017 Ford Expedition - Brake master cylinder. I have had 2 appointments canceled by Ford because they do not have the part in. Am I supposed to wait untill I have an accident because all the brake fluid leaked out. The PIN number on my driver's side door is not working. The driver's door opens after touching one number.

While driving out of parking lot during a very warm day (100 degrees), A/C blower was on high as normal: 1. A/C blower suddenly stopped working. 2. A smell of something burning became evident inside car 3. Suddenly smoke started coming out of passenger side defroster and A/C vent 4. After passenger exited vehicle, I went to look under passenger glove compartment and discovered a small fire under dash. Tried to douse flames with water bottles, but with no effect. 5. Opened glove compartment box and flames came out of opening immediately. 6. Witnessed a small size soup can and melting plastic fall on passenger floor of dripping fire 7. Fire spread suddenly up into dash and windshield and then cabin 8. Called 911 and fire department arrived within 3-4 minutes. 9. Fire became an inferno and car burnt to the ground

Our car experienced a failed Throttle Body Assembly. While driving our car, the engine would lose power, and the car would start to violently shake. The wrench light would come on the dash. We would have to pull over whether we were on the highway or a city street. Once we turned the car off and back on the wrench light would disappear. We took the car to our mechanic who could not figure out the issue due to no codes. The Ford dealership told us the same thing as our mechanic - without a code(s) it would take a lot of time and money to figure out the problem. Finally after several (at least 5 time) scary occurrences of this issue, the engine light came on and gave a code. We fixed the issue on June 23, 2022.

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.

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.

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.
