Every Expedition model year from 2004 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Large SUV of the same year.
Across 22 scored model years the Expedition needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2009 is its strongest, 2018 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Large SUV sold that same model year.

The line has moved around across 22 model years, with its weakest stretch in 2015–2021. The recent trend is upward. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Expedition model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Large SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), no single system stands out. All measured systems draw issue reports less often than the same systems on the average Large SUV of their year — a cleaner sheet than most of this class manages.
