2024 Ford Expedition

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Expedition.

Transmission Automatic (S10)

The 2024 Ford Expedition pairs its Automatic (S10) transmission with EPA fuel-economy ratings of 17/23/19 mpg, while reliability metrics already register 7 recalls and 68 total owner complaints, the largest grouping filed under “Unknown Or Other.” Set against the model’s archived history spanning 1991 to 2027—a period whose complaint volume surged to 1,007 in 1999 and fell to just 1 in 1991—the 2024 model lands in the lower range of that documented spectrum. That positioning suggests the current model year has, at least so far, avoided the concentrated defect cycles that have marked the Expedition’s most complaint-heavy eras.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Ford Expedition sits in the late, settled phase of its current generation, registering 68 complaints, 7 recalls, 0 open investigations, and 101 TSBs—well off the 2019 peak of 455 complaints and 2 investigations, and a meaningful step down from the 2022 model year that still carried 106 complaints and 12 recalls. Compared with its immediate neighbors, 2024 shows a marginal uptick from 2023's 62 complaints but a continued decline in recalls (8 to 7) and a third consecutive year with no active federal investigation, consistent with a model whose early-production electrical, brake, and powertrain teething issues have largely been addressed. The complaint profile is diffuse rather than concentrated—Unknown/Other (10), Electrical System (7), Vehicle Speed Control (5), and Service Brakes (4)—and the relatively modest 6 crash-related and 1 fire complaint indicate no dominant safety defect driving the year's record. TSB volume at 101 is lower than the 138-195 range seen in 2021-2023, another signal of maturing production. For a used-buyer, the 2024 model year is one of the cleaner choices in the current-generation arc—just confirm the 7 recalls have been completed at the dealer before purchase and you should be looking at a solidly resolved vehicle.
