2022 FORD EXPEDITION Electrical System Problems

B&O radio amplifier exploded causing a sharp ear piercing static sound. This caused severe driver distraction and potential fire risk.

1) The fuel delivery system is affected — specifically, a faulty fuel pump which may fail and cause engine stalling while driving. This issue is under Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (NHTSA 25V-455). The vehicle is still in my possession and available for inspection upon request. 2) The recall clearly states that the vehicle can stall unexpectedly while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. On a recent highway trip ([XXX]), my Expedition began shaking at high speeds, and continued shaking while parked, indicating worsening fuel system issues. I have three young children (ages [XXX] , [XXX] , and [XXX] ) who regularly ride in the vehicle. Being told to continue driving under these conditions with no available fix has placed my entire family and others on the road at risk. 3) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not yet. When I called...

Rear defrost coils have continually fallen off. Dealer fixed one in February of 2024. It fell off March 2024. They are both hanging there. Dealer won’t touch it - says rear window needs replacement. I’ve researched on ford expedition forum and many expeditions have a similar issue. Especially with dealer not covering it.

The audio system has become inoperable and instead the speakers are blasting static noise with crackling and popping sounds at high volume. Cannot stop it or use any other audio. Very unsafe to drive due to extreme noise level and lack of controls. Appears many people have this issue and there needs to be a recall to fix.

My vehicle doesn’t alert me of incoming vehicles and the reverse camera stays on. When I turn on my vehicle the dash stays on with ford sign so when I put on reverse my back up camera doesn’t turn on at all. I have to use all my mirrors to back out of parking. This feature hasn’t been working properly for a year. They keep telling me ford is working to fix this issue.

While driving the vehicle, the stereo system suddenly without warning started an unbearable loud and deafening noise. I was driving on a busy highway and was able to the the next exit. I had 2 other occupants in the vehicle. We had to exit the vehicle because the noise level from the speaker was painful and caused disorientation. I turned the vehicle off but the noise continued for at least 10 minutes then stopped. Myself and the 2 other occupants still have ear pain 24 hours later.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the instrument panel went black. The horn failed to be as loud as designed. The contact also stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH and making a left turn, the turn signal failed to activate. The contact stated that the instrument panel was black during the failure. The contact stated that before the failure, the Bluetooth Sync system had failed, and the contact believed that was when the failures started. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The instrument panel and the touch control panel screen were replaced. The contact stated that after the repairs were completed, the back over prevention alarm was not as loud as before. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was...

We started to notice some body issues -rear side fenders popping out, the front grill popping out,, the inside screen would go blank, fuel tank lid pops open. As if this was not enough - we then encountered more issues - sunroof was falling on our heads, the step up railing is falling apart....WAIT- there's more - paint coming off the hood...And to top it all off - there is a cracking noise thru the inside. We cannot control the noise. We lose all function and use of controls (radio, climate, etc.).

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.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while her husband was having a light bulb replaced, the dealer became aware that the electrical wiring was damaged due to rodents chewing on the wiring insulation. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. There was no warning light illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,489.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the infotainment screen went blank without warning. Occasionally the vehicle would inadvertently shut off once the screen went blank. The contact stated that the adaptive driving system feature would independently active, causing the vehicle to jerk out of the driving lane, and the contact would temporarily lose control of the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle would independently surge forward upon depression of the brake pedal without warning; while in reverse(R) or drive(D). The vehicle was taken to the dealer on multiple occasions however, the parts to repair the vehicle were on backorder. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Alternator failed suddenly. Caused loss of power to all components while driving.

For the fourth time our brand new Ford Expedition has had a issue with the SYNC radio B&O Sound system. It initially started out where the 15.5 inch screen locked up and no radio, Bluetooth would work and couldn’t even control climate. The dealer got to see this first hand and had no interest in investigating. Now the last three times has been a HORRIFYING pop and extremely loud static and popping like fire works inside the car. Two of the three times luckily my wife wasn’t driving. The most recent time this happened as we were driving down the road and THANKFULLY no car was in the opposite lane as it caused me to jump and swerve because i though we had been hit. This could have ended very badly under the wrong timing and especially with my 4 year old and infant in the car which they also...

The contact owns 2022 Chevrolet Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and activating the turn signals, the turn signals would temporarily blink excessively fast, which indicated a turn signal failure. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. No service was performed. Additionally, the contact stated that while the adaptive cruise control mode was activated, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly and nearly hit a pedestrian. The contact stated that he had not engaged the Resume button at the time of the failure. The contact also stated that while reversing, the rearview camera was inoperable. The cause of the failures were not determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 6,000.

I just had the same issue described in the forum listed below. Extremely loud max volume screeching static through the speakers. Tried turning the car off and on several times, tried turning the radio off, tried switching to Serius xm radio, nothing would make it stop and it was completely unsafe to drive it like that. It was too loud to hear anything else over it and it was so jarring. I now have a headache and i’m nervous to drive it for fear of it happening again. My husband had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. I have a video but it doesn’t seem like I can upload it here, only pics. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/extremely-loud-electrical-pop-followed-by-loud-static.9591/page-4
