general problems of the 2016 Ford Expedition

When merging on the highway in the rain the vehicle locked up on me and almost killed me. I could have been seriously injured I could not stop the car and it slid along the highway at high speeds . Luckily was able to get to the shoulder.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, a burning odor was detected. The contact later received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 22v150000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 22v648000 (visibility, electrical system). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front blower motor connector and resistor needed to be replaced; however, the parts were not covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the front blower motor connector was previously replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that only the brake master cylinder and front blower motor assembly would be replaced free of charge under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The contact activated the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 22v150000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle with brake master cylinder and brake booster failure. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with hydraulic control unit failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact the vehicle was not covered under the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Multiple times while driving the vehicle I had trouble getting the brakes to work while driving and needing to slow down or coming to a complete stop. This almost resulted in an accident 2 times. We thought it was the current related to recall 22s11 which we had fixed already in July 2022. However, it is an issue that is not a reported recall at the moment. It is for the hydrolic control unit. Ford will not replace this part at their cost and is forcing me to pay even though it is a major safety issue.

Hello, on a number of occasions (while driving on the highway and attempting a stop at a light) our brake system has gone unresponsive. It almost caused a collision the other day when I was approaching a red light. What happens is I push the brake, and then it almost feels like there is no resistance whatsoever and it goes soft, then I have to push very hard all the way down (pedal to the metal) on the brake to get it to stop. Ford tells me my vehicle is not part of this recall for brake issues, but it is just a little suspcious that I have the same kind of car where there is a brake recall issue. . Read more...

Low brake fluid light comes on then brake pedal go's to the floor. Brake fluid level checks low. After refilling brake fluid it doe's the same thing. Find no sign of any brake fluid leak.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 25 mph, the brake warning light illuminated, and the low brake fluid message was displayed on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard while his wife was attempting to stop the vehicle. The driver called her husband to the scene who was able to carefully drive the vehicle back to the residence. Upon inspection, the contact discovered a leak from the brake master cylinder which had flowed into the brake booster which he believed caused the failure. The dealer was contacted about the failure and the contact was informed that the part to repair the vehicle was not available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Low brake fluid light came on. I pulled off road to think, but since it said "low" brake fluid and not "empty" brake fluid, and since I was already on my way to the dealer for an oil change, I decided to proceed. When ready to go again, brake pedal went all of the way to the floor. Mechanic says the brake fluid is leaking into the power booster. His research found same problem with 2016 f150's that used the same part but was recalled, but Expedition's were not recalled. Required tow truck to take to Ford dealer 1-1/2 hrs from my home. Should have already been a recall or a warning that something could happen since Ford has already experienced this with the f150's.

Brake fluid level light came on. Stopped at autozone, added fluid, drove 2 miles to walmart brakes get soft, barely got home and reservoir was empty again. No visible leaks on the ground. Vehicle only has 60k miles on it and this could have been catastrophic and deadly if we needed to stop quickly. Research shows that the NHTSA issued a recall for this problem on the 2016 f150. The Expedition is essentially the same vehicle chassis, with a different body. The chassis components are the same. Reason and logic therefore would conclude that the recall be extended the the Expedition , as well as any other shared chassis vehicles.

Upon inspection, it was discovered that there was no brake fluid in the brake reservoir. After refilling the brake fluid reservoir, approximately 30 minutes later the brake fluid had leaked from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder and brake booster were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Received notification of low brake fluid. Shortly after, the vehicle would had trouble stopping and was nearly in an accident. Drove to local shop to have fluid added and look for leaks. No leaks found, fluid topped off, seemed to be fine. Within minutes, same 'low brake fluid' message appeared. Soon after, no brakes again. Again, nearly an accident. Searched online, saw the same problem happening to others and that there is a recall on the 2014-2016 f-150 that shares the same platform and is built in the same factory (NHTSA campaign number: 20v-332. Ford's reference number for this recall is 20s31). Ford will not assist with the repair since it is at an outside shop.

While driving, brake pedal suddenly went straight to the floor with no resistance and no braking. Took to Ford and found that brake master cylinder had failed catastrophically, just like f-series trucks which have been recalled. Vacuum booster was full of brake fluid and master cylinder empty. Incurred $1062. 62 in repair costs and could have had deadly consequences if it hadn’t occurred in a parking lot at low speed. There were no warning indicators activated. Repair done by autonation Ford intorrance, CA, and I have the parts in my possession. Insurance and law enforcement were not involved.

While driving the low break fluid warning came on and the break pedal went to the floor. There is no sign of a leak even though the break reservoir was empty. After filling it back up and checking for leaks, it emptied again. After more research, this is a common issue without a recall. Someone is going to get killed from this.

After the vehicle was started and the accelerator pedal was depressed, the contact experienced unintended acceleration even after the contact depressed the brake pedal. As a result, the contact crashed into a pine tree. The vehicle remained at full acceleration until it was DE-powered manually. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but the diagnostic results had not yet been determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

Leased car 11/2016. On 1-6-16, complete loss of brake power, no warning, no warning lights. Sudden. Avoided collision. Dealer found vacuum pump failure, fixed. Then happened again 1 month later 2-2-16, again accident avoided. Brake pedal went to floor w/o any pressure. I am told by cust service that they found same problem. They are trying make us take car back. We are concerned that braking system flawed and car unsafe. We refuse to accept car back. Broiled in debate between cust service and dealer. Dealer trying make us financially responsible for defective breaks, and claiming lemon law requires 4 events.

My 2016 Ford Expedition el ltd v-6 3. 5l with 354 odometer miles produced 4 minor prelude engine surges within a couple hours on the roadways before it went full throttle 5 times within a couple minutes. It suddenly, and without warning, ran down my wife after squishing her against the garage-bedroom wall (which was destroyed) in reverse, placed me in traffic danger when it raced out of the driveway, placed a witness driving in the street in danger as it backed up, and while turning into my driveway forward, plowed half its length into a neighbors house, and destroyed most of its exterior as a result of the forward and reverse collisions. The brakes were absolutely useless and could not begin to overpower the individual engine full power surges. The air bags never deployed despite the frontal impact exceeding 15 mph. The full throttle engine surge durations approximated 6 seconds each; and, the temporary returns to idle lasted 2-4 seconds. My wife is quite injured; but, could easily have been killed. I was planning a head-on large oak tree ramming to stop the vehicle once-and-for-all. Other people and Ford need to be advised of this potential death trap situation. Please help.
