The issue involves the purchase of a 2024 Ford Expedition Max, VIN [XXX] , which purchased on [XXX] from Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. Since purchasing this vehicle, I have encountered the following persistent issues that substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle: The vehicle was sold to me seemingly infested with rodents, which ate away much of the internal wiring of the engine compartment. The wiring is manufactured with soy-based sheathing, which is a well-known defect and further known to attract rodents/vermin and as I only possessed the vehicle in question for 3 weeks and 5 days (when first sensor light came on and only drove it 1383 miles (7 weeks total). I have been forced to make an insurance claim for this damage, which I feel was resultant of a manufacturing defect, but due to the inexcusable part delay in obtaining replacement wiring, the rental on my policy ran out. I have requested on several occasions, a VIN swap for a different vehicle and was told that this was not something the dealership could do. Despite these defects not being addressed at the Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. I believe the wiring damage is too extensive to be adequately and safely repaired and I have been without my vehicle, while still making payments and paying out of pocket for transportation for 3 months now. Alton Blakely Ford of Corbin still has not repaired this clearly defective vehicle and the defects continue to exist. As of this letter, the vehicle's odometer reads 1,396 and I have only had the vehicle available to me for my usage for 3 weeks and 5 days. The vehicle is still in the shop and the only response I receive from them is that they are waiting on the part and they have no ide when it may be available. I have written to Ford Motor company and after many e-mail exchanges, the matter was closed by them with no resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

I am filing this complaint regarding Ford Safety Recall 25S49 (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V315). My vehicle is a 2024 Ford Expedition Max, VIN [XXX] . The Ford pass app and the Ford recall site both show the remedy for the recall as "Available", but when I contact my dealer (Maxwell Ford in Austin, TX) they say that the repair cannot be performed because the update is not yet active in the Oasis dealer system. Ford has had months to release the software fix, but continues to delay the rollout to dealerships. Meanwhile, I have been without my vehicle because the rearview camera is unreliable and considered a safety hazard under the recall. I am paying for a new vehicle that is parked at the dealership and undriveable due to Ford's failure to provide a timely remedy. I have contacted Ford Executive Relations and their social media team, but have received no response or resolution. I am requesting that NHTSA hold Ford accountable for failing to make this safety recall fix available in a timely and transparent manner. The communication has been misleading to owners, and the delay is causing both financial and practical hardship.

I recently purchased this vehicle new from Denny Menholt Ford in Butte, MT. When purchasing I was told they added a third brake light Pulse system as a requirement on all of their vehicles. Just today I learned that per NHTSA rules it is illegal to have any pulsing brake lights on a vehicle. I wanted to make you aware of the practices of this dealership, as they informed me that the Pulse brake light is a mandatory add on and not negotiable.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that after the vehicle had been parked overnight, the vehicle failed to start the following morning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that rodents had eaten the soy-based wiring harnesses underneath the power distribution box, near the engine. The dealer informed the contact that eight wiring harnesses needed to be replaced and provided the contact with an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 17,304.

Malfunction: powered running board on the passenger side of vehicle while vehicle was in park with door open and engine running. It closed while my hisband was resting his right foot on it and then it opened and closed and his foot and lower ankle was getting crushed. I had to run around to passenger side and when I opened the right rear passenger door the running board released and opened up. The car will be going to the dealer for its first oil change etc. and I will talk to them about this incident.
