        How this compares

        2017 Ford Expedition356
        Median 2017 model here (94 vehicles)269
        Median 2017 SUV here (43)305

        356 complaints is 1.3 times the median 2017 model on this site and 1.2 times the median 2017 SUV. Among the 8 Expedition model years here it ranks 4th 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.
