How this compares
113 complaints is 1.6 times fewer than the median 2022 model on this site and 1.7 times fewer than the median 2022 SUV. Among the 9 Expedition model years here it ranks 8th 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.
