Patan4x4 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 My Explorer Eddie Bauer 4dr 2007 has an intermittent whirring sound coming from under the dash on the passenger's side. It happens every time I press any pedal, brake or throttle, and it is getting worse every day. After two visits to the dealer the problem persist and nobody knows what is really happening. Any idea?

FLLMTR Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I thought I was hearing a similar problem. It turned out to be the 6spd transmission making the sound. After a couple of months decelerating to a stop started to become clunky as the vehicle kicked from 2nd to 1st. Fortunately, Ford was able to repair it under a TSB. And sure enough, I don't hear the whirring sound anymore. I hope your problem is not the same as mine was. I worry what is going to happen when my vehicle goes out of warranty.

Patan4x4 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 ... I hope your problem is not the same as mine was. I worry what is going to happen when my vehicle goes out of warranty. It seems to be another kind of problem ...fortunately, I have 11 months of warranty to find the bug :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patan4x4 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Does someone know where could I find a list of the TSB issued by Ford so far? Thanks in advance. Patan4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patan4x4 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Just in case someone wants to know what finally happens. Problem solved, It was located in the Intake Air System, a misplaced air filter was causing the noise that we finally heard in the dash. Very strange, but the noise disappear. Two very young guys were required to find the origin of the noise, my friend and me :beerchug: . One pressing the throttle and the another searching where the noise was coming, finally under the hood and not under the dash. A noise coming from the air intake system give him a clue, we only opened the air cleaner cover and reinstall the Air Cleaner (filter) with care and that was all. It tooks us only five minutes and a ride in the highway to make sure that everything was ok. Well, the guys at the Ford service dealer have something to learn, teamwork !!! Happy New Year !!!!!!!! :party2: Edited December 30, 2007 by Patan4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
