There are 9 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2019 Ford Expeditionin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The passenger side headlight DRL is fading and does not appear to be as bright and pronounced as the driver side DRL. This vehicle has the LED headlights and fog lights.
LED daytime running lights have failed and turned blue on one side. This issue appears to affect many vehicles of the same make and model. DRLs are a piece of safety equipment that makes the vehicle more visible to others, and as such, should be in proper working order.
The passenger side daytime running light has burned out. Daytime running lights are a safety feature for myself and other drivers. The problem happens 100% of the time. The dealership has inspected the issue and suggest replacing the entire headlight assembly. It happened January 2025 and No warning lights came on. It was brought to my attention by another driver in traffic
Daytime running light LEDs are failing, has turned purple and is very dim on the passenger side.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that upon inspection, it was discovered that the front driver's side and passenger’s side headlight assemblies had experienced cracks and chips causing moisture to enter the headlight assemblies. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was concerned that the moisture inside the headlight assemblies would cause the front headlights to eventually fail. The failure mileage was 70,354.
All lenses on the front headlights have stress cracks forming in the corner of the housing. This has allowed moisture and condensation to build inside the housing and is altering the light output.
PROJECTOR HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS, UNABLE TO SEE ADEQUATELY AT NIGHT. LIGHT OUTPUT IS EXTREMELY POOR, LIGHTING COLOR IS VERY YELLOW AND BEAM PROJECTION IS NOT FAR ENOUGH TO SEE AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 40MPH. UNABLE TO PROPERLY SEE STREET SIGNS OR OBJECTS ON EITHER SIDE OF VEHICLE THAT MAY CROSS IN PATH. TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ALL HEADLIGHTS ON INCLUDING LOWER FOG DRIVING LIGHTS. CHECKED ADJUSTMENT(DIRECTION) AND HEIGHT AND DID NOT IMPROVE VISIBILITY. WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, LOSE OF USE OF VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.
HEADLIGHTS HAVE POOR VISIBILITY DURING LOW LIGHT. OEM HALOGEN LIGHTS INSTALLED
FACTORY OEM HEADLIGHTS INCLUDING HI-BEAMS, LOW-BEAMS, DRLS AND FOG LIGHTS ARE OUTDATED AND TOTALLY INFERIOR TO CURRENT LED/HID HEADLIGHTS. VISIBILITY IS NOT UP TO PAR WHATSOEVER. DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. VERY DISAPPOINTED. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE STANDARD LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING STRIPS, HIGH-BEAMS, LOW BEAMS, AND FOG LIGHTS. FORD SHOULD UPDATE THIS ON ALL 2018 AND NEWER EXPEDITIONS
