Is the 2015 Ford Expedition reliable?
The 2015 Ford Expedition has 164 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, below the median of 314 for 2015 SUVs on this site. Of the 13 Expedition model years since 2014, it has the 7th most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2015 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, stalling, covers 23 of the 164 complaints (14%), and infotainment is next with 18 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). A quarter of the 21 owners who gave a mileage for stalling saw it by about 44,000 miles, and half by about 55,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 14 of the 164 complaints (9%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little above the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 8 reports mention a crash, 6 mention a fire and 6 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 5 of 8, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 3 recalls are on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against them.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2023 at 30 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 20. So far in 2026, 7 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
164 complaints is 1.7 times fewer than the median 2015 model on this site and 1.9 times fewer than the median 2015 SUV. Among the 9 Expedition model years here it ranks 7th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
