I love my expedition even buying it used. the comfort for four kids ages from 12-19, 3 girls and only 1 boy there is room to sprawl out along with the heat/cooling vents to circulate air. I do have problems with it and the 4 wheel interior switch and not working and need to also know how to find out for sure if all the recalls for this vehicle were actually fixed and is there a time frame to get fixed if not done at time of recall. Thank you for help and look forward to answers.
