Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Expedition?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Ford Expedition making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Ford Expedition. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Ford Expedition engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I use water in my Ford Expedition radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Expedition when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my Expedition engine suddenly stop?

Your Expedition car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
