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.

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.

Our 208 Ford Expedition platinum 4X4 puts out a very high amount of carbon monoxide, to the point that it makes my children sick. After very little research, it appears as though our vehicle is having the same issue thousands of people had with their Ford Explorer.

My 2018 Ford Expedition max 4X4 was diagnosed with the issue described in tcb-20-2315 in Aug 2019. The repair was done per the tcb and completed in Oct 2019. The vehicle was in the shop for 10 weeks and I had to return it 4 times for additional repairs until the issue was temporarily resolved. The problem reoccured in Jul 2020 and it took over 5 visits to the dealership and intervention from Ford cust service to get the vehicle repaired in Dec 2020. I have already returned the vehicle again this time because the issue was not resolved and now will need to return the vehicle a third time. This will make 7 total attempts to get the vehicle fixed for the same issue. Ford refuses to replace the vehicle and denied my buyback request. This vehicle is a lemon plain and simple. I followed the procedures per state law in notifying Ford and allowing them to repair the vehicle. Clearly, the root cause of the issue has not been determined and the repair just completed is just a repeat of the first. This time, I was on vacation with my family in the mountains of West Virginia in the dead of winter with windchills of minus 15 degrees. The check engine light and power train lights came on, the turbo shut down, and white smoke started billowing out of the tailpipe. We could barely maintain speed on inclines and had to stop for low oil pressure multiple times. We could have been stranded in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception. A problem I anticipated and expressed to Ford when I returned the vehicle for the sixth attempt. I want the vehicle replaced with the same vehicle that is not defective. That is all. Why is this such a challenge for Ford to solve? I have literally invested hundreds of hours attempting to navigate this nightmare. Attached is the letter I sent Ford in Sep 2020. The vehicle cannot be operated safely and is stuck in my driveway. I am now without a car.

25000 miles. Previously quiet on startup. Started making a rattling sound if vehicle sat overnight a month ago. Initially lasted 1-2 seconds. More recently sound heard on startup after sitting only a few hours, and lasts 4-5 seconds. Similar to complaints reported on issue 15-0131 on 2015-era Ford products needing cam phaser, timing chain replacement and scan tool reprogramming. Noise is loud enough now that I fear accelerating timing chain damage possible failure.

Even though I have put the car in park, it still moves and has hit me and some of the passengers getting out the car with the doors and other parts of the vehicle almost running us over. The vehicle was put in park according to dial. However, it still moved.
