2025 Ford Expedition Reliability Report

Owners report issues with the sunroof of the 2025 Ford Expedition, specifically involving spontaneous shattering. Complaints frequently mention that the sunroof or moon roof shatters without any apparent impact or debris present. Symptoms include the sunroof glass breaking either while the vehicle is parked or in motion, with one report noting the glass collapsed inward after initially shattering upwards. These incidents occur at low mileage, around 5,000 miles, and present potential safety implications, as shattered glass could distract the driver or harm occupants. Buyers should be aware of this pattern when considering a used model.

Owners of the 2025 Ford Expedition report issues with the service brakes, particularly involving the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) module. Common symptoms include the brake pedal going to the floor without stopping the vehicle, and unexpected harsh braking with no traffic present. One complaint involves a crash into a parked car when the brakes failed to engage, while another describes the brakes engaging slowly after several warning lights flashed. These issues occur in vehicles with low mileage, around 2,458 miles, and even as early as two weeks into ownership, indicating potential early-life failures. Safety implications include loss of braking control and collision, highlighting concerns for potential buyers.

Owners of the 2025 Ford Expedition report issues with the forward collision avoidance system not activating, despite the adaptive cruise control functioning correctly. Complaints frequently mention that even after dealership evaluations and updates, the problem remains unresolved, with suggestions to seek assistance from different service providers. Additionally, users of the Blue Cruise feature describe it malfunctioning, where the system triggers a "watch the road" warning and abruptly slows the vehicle, posing a potential safety risk, especially on highways like I81. These issues are noted in new vehicles, indicating that they may arise early in ownership. The mentioned symptoms and unresolved service attempts are critical points for potential buyers to consider.

Owners of the 2025 Ford Expedition report two distinct issues related to visibility and wiper functionality. One complaint describes a defective front windshield exhibiting a star-shaped or spackling pattern visible at sunrise and sunset, which is not easily captured in photos and has led to warranty replacement denial by Ford. Another issue involves a blind-spot camera view being obstructed by a persistent on-screen steering wheel control popup, which appears after opening a door or engaging the steering wheel controls and cannot be minimized, potentially impacting lane change safety. These issues are reported in vehicles purchased as new, with no specific mileage indicated. Safety implications include reduced visibility and potential risks during lane changes.

Owners of the 2025 Ford Expedition report issues related to the vehicle's structure. One owner describes a manufacturing defect on the roof with exposed welding and rivets, resulting in depressions that can collect water, potentially leading to corrosion or structural deterioration. This issue appears to be widespread, as indicated by similar reports from other vehicles at dealerships. Another complaint involves a sharp edge on the front driver's side door, which caused a 2 1/2 inch cut on a user's leg while the vehicle was stationary. The injury did not require medical attention but resulted in a scar. These issues are reported at low mileage, around 7,300 miles, and may pose safety risks due to potential structural integrity concerns and physical injury from sharp door edges.
