During a routine oil change, the ford dealer found all four of my suspension struts were leaking. Unless the vehicle was dropped from 50 feet in the air, there is no reason four struts should be leaking. It has to be defective struts.

2018 ford expedition fx4 loaded. Under 10,000 miles rear shocks leaking and had to be placed. They are supposed to be heavy duty with fx4 package. No off road use. No towing. No heavy loading. Careful large city and highway driving. Careful break-in and no hits, hard contacts, or other impacts or conditions. Replaced with oem from ford. But if defective then likely the replacement parts will be defective as well.…

Took my vehicle for oil change at a local mechanic. He advised all four struts are leaking. The vehicle only has 10,000 miles on it. I went back to ford. They advised there is an ss! Bulletin and they are only supposed to monitor the issue. A google search shows this has been a problem with expeditions for years. Why isn't ford resolving this after all of these years and finding a strut that works properly?

Vehicle as delivered new from the factory had a very loud and distinct clunking in the rear suspension when driving. It clunks repeatedly with each downshift of the 10 speed transmission and once very hard upon acceleration. It was later determined that the rear differential retainer bushing had been left loose and not fully installed, allowing the whole rear suspension system to rotate when it should have been…

Paint is chiping from the hood and from the trunk door. The other problem is that it vibrates at high speeds. It drives very smooth, but once i hit above 70mph on the highway it starts to feel shaky. I can feel the vibration on the steering wheel.

Rusted out rocker panels, brake lines, front end radiator mounts, fender mounts. The entire under carriage is rusting away. We have had to replace all the brake lines as they have rusted away, redid the rocker panels rust away. Now we have to replace the entire front end because of rust. Will not pass pa state inspection due to rust. Is the expedition in the recall for rust?
