Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2024 EXPEDITION is unknown or other with 11 filings, followed by electrical system (10) and service brakes (8). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 6 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle, the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 4 investigation files overlapping the 2024 EXPEDITION. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page, a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Bought the car on Feb 14th 2026. We were told Avis car sales in fontana does their vehicle inspection on every car before its sold. We noticed the two back tires on the expedition were bald and showing cords. We told Tawnya and George about the tires and they said they would order them, they'd be in within two days and to bring the car back to get them replaced. When we got home we setup ford diagnostics and found out the oil life was at 29% so they also lied and sent us out with bad oil. We checked the dip stick and yeah super dark oil. We've called two days in a row and keep getting told they are busy and they will call us back, they have not. We have tried to reach corporate but they dont have a department for this. The vehicle is currently sitting because of how bad the tires are, its 100% not safe to drive. Trying to get the dealership to honor the safety fix they promised but they are avoiding it.

It was a sunny clear day, there were no vehicles in front of us and we were not going under an overpass. We pulled over to take pictures and drove the vehicle straight to Ford. We have since read that this type of incident has occurred before with multiple other Expeditions.

I would like to report the seats. I bought my vehicle new. The seats has caused me to have medical issues. It has also caused one other person issues too, so it was not just me. I have never had any sort of back or leg issues before getting this vehicle. I now have severe Sciatica Nerve problems. Which, I have seen the Doctor for. It flares up so bad while I am driving my right leg goes into extreme pain then it goes numb. Which is not helpful since this is the foot I use the gas and brake with. This is my only transportation, so I do not have another vehicle to drive. I have had my son drive this vehicle when we went on a trip. I sat in the middle row captain chair and it was the same issue. This trip was when my daughter in-law (Which is an RN) starting having the same issues as myself.
