2017 Ford Expedition

6 months ago FORD replaced my blower motor (ONLY) per the recall, it still only worked intermittently so on a return visit they diagnosed a need to replace their (Motorcraft) YH-1829 A/C Blower Motor Switch / RESISTOR AND the pigtail connector SINCE THE CONNECTION PINS HAD FUSED FROM OVERHEATING. THOSE were NOT covered by the recall notwithstanding 100's or more complaints to FORD. However, The Blower ONLY worked on high. ALWAYS on high. If the key was on, the HVAC ON/OFF was useless (It's LED would go off and on but not the blower.) Likewise speed (+) and (-) did nothing. EVERY OTHER FUNCTION/Button worked fine. Temperature could be regulated and Rear A/C could be activated just fine. Yesterday, $595 later, FORD has diagnosed the Climate Control Board (FL1Z-19980-K) in the dash. IT'S RELAY HAD OVERHEATING ISSUES. They did not replace the malfumnctioning Control Board because Part FL1Z-19980-K is on a nationwide backorder with no ETA. Oh, and when/if it does become available, FORD wants $758 to install (part, tax and labor). So, I have a irrepressible suspicion that the Control Board overheat failure is linked to the overheating/fused resistor, all stemming from the original Blower Motor overheat failure that FORD did agree to recall. But, NOW, the culprit is inside the dash and the circuit cannot be turned off. IF THE KEY IS ON SO IS THE CLIMATE CONTROL CIRCUIT WITH THE BLOWER ON HIGH 100% of my driving time. More fusing? More fire risk?

My vehicle is a 2017 Expedition that had the blower motor recall performed in October 2023. Prior to the recall being performed, we would often have burning smells coming from the blower, so it made sense that the recall was to fix a fire hazard with the blower motor. I observed burned terminals in the electrical connector and assumed they would be replaced as part of the recall. Any reasonable person would assume that burned electrical wires pose a fire hazard and a recall that is supposed to fix a fire hazard issue would replace the electrical connector. A few months after the recall was performed, we started having the exact same symptoms coming from the blower motor as we did before the recall, namely a burning smell and the blower motor operating intermittently. I contacted Ford about a problem with the recall repair and they stated they would have to diagnose it. Ford identified burned electrical terminals at the blower motor and a faulty motor controller. Ford then communicated to me that those items were not covered under the blower motor recall. I only then learned that the recall replaced only the blower motor and not the electrical connectors or controller. I was charged a $220 diagnostic fee, had I known those items were not part of the recall I would not have brought my vehicle in for diagnosis. I have three major concerns: 1. If the purpose of the blower motor recall was to prevent a fire hazard from the blower motor and related components, the recall has failed. 2. The original faulty blower motor caused damage to the blower controller and electrical connector. These components should have been replaced with the blower motor as part of the recall. It is absurd to think that Ford would install a new blower motor connected to damaged and burned wires. 3. The electrical connector and motor controller were not replaced during the recall service, but still pose a fire hazard as stated in the recall, those components should be replaced at no cost.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air condition stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the blower motor had melted the resister plug. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the brake warning light illuminated. After parking the vehicle, the contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard upon restart the vehicle. Brake fluid was added to the vehicle; however, the failure returned soon after the brake fluid was added. Additional brake fluid was added to the vehicle and the vehicle was taken to the local dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred to the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000.

I was in a motor vehicle accident where someone pulled out of a parking lot in front of me. I was doing about 45 at the time(which is the speed limit) on that road. I seen it coming but all I could do was try to veer right in order not to hit her door head on. Ours cars are totaled. My air bag never deployed out of the steering wheel however er I did see dust or smoke. This caused me to have chest pain and shoulder and neck pain. Which I am seeking doctors at this time.

Vehicle lost power steering as it was parking. A message flashed on screen. Throttle surged. Hit a car on left. In an attempt to avoid the car on left, vehicle lunged to the right and hit a second vehicle. -Steering failed. -Two other vehicles were impacted. Steering pulled drivers had and damaged her thumb. Will require surgery. -Body shop confirmed that steering is still not functional after being towed. -Vehicle has not been inspected yet. -Some warning message flashed during the incident but was not visible after.

Electronic throttle body will go into a limp mode and has no power to accelerate. This happens while driving down the street or highway and you might have enough power to pull to side of the road or street and not get run over. I have seen other reports of this and Ford extended their warranty on some vehicles to 10 years or 150,000 miles. These are mainly the eco boost motors. My vehicle has 88,000 miles and is regularly serviced. One occurrence was on a road under construction with no place to pull over quickly when this happened.

Brake Master Cylinder is LEAKING out the back of master cylinder and into brake booster, lost almost ALL of the brake fluid in short trip as soon as it started.. Its an Identical issue to current Recall 22S11 or 22S14 on many if not all 2016 2017 Expeditions. My truck was built at the same Kentucky plant that produced the trucks with this exact issue, build date [XXX] built in the same time frame the trucks have the issue . But Ford reports it as Not a recall.. Its Doing the EXACT SAME issue that is part of recall 22S14 and 22S11.. and is an incredible huge Safety Risk causing potential death to the driver or other motorist if the truck runs out of brake fluid ..
