Paul JH Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 On my 2020 Aviator, we hear a strange gurgling sound, only when raining, at over 35 MPH. It seems to be coming from the overhead speaker on the passenger side. Any thoughts about how to correct this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a clogged moonroof drain but as was already stated just take it back to the dealer and let them worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_dude_nepa Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 There was another person that wrote in last year with a saturated headliner and electrical issues and it was cause by a clogged drain on the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfepack88 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I just had this same sound yesterday during a drive to the ice cream shop and it rained out briefly and then gurgling sound from right side in same location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Flame Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I experienced the same on a recent trip we took. It was raining heavy and heard this gurgling sound coming from the pillars. Very frustrating to have this issue with an $80,000 vehicle. I will be calling the dealer myself to see if they can figure out how to fix it.

Christine Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Has anyone found out what is causing this ? Dealership could not replicate. It has happened 3 times after a heavy rain, I have even recorded but the dealership says can’t find wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It’s almost certainly a blockage or kink in the moonroof drain lines that run down the A pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Flame Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Group, Just an update, I brought the car in to the dealer and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. They said they blew out the sunroof drain just in case; which I believe was the issue. As I tested it out in the heavy rain we had yesterday and no more Gurgling sound! I'm a happy Aviator owner again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardsr Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have this exact same problem. I have not called the dealer yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAINEY Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I too had the gurgling sound start right after going through a car wash. Went away later in the day. My bet is on the drain tube as mentioned earlier. I'm going to have the dealer check it out when it goes in Monday Dec 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsandboats Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I have the same issue but it happens after going through car wash. Fairly loud gurgling noise lower A pillar and or upper left dash area. I have no sunroof leak issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazooLen Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Naples Florida, yes, our new 2020 Lincoln Aviator has a significantly loud gurgling and nocking sound coming from the front dash area after it rains, usually most pronounced at highway speeds. It is in the dealer again for the third time attempting to fix this very serious problem. The local dealer is doing its best, they provide a free loaner vehicle each time. Any ideas?

I'm in Naples too. Early on I had a water leak problem which was fixed and after that I began hearing the gurgling sound. Also getting occasional blue screen with the back up camera AFTER they did the recall. Time to let Germain look at it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfepack88 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Blue screen has a recall that came out on Sept 23rd. Read it in my Lincoln Way App today after coming from dealer having my car for 20 days. They didn’t see the recall. Now I go back again tomorrow.

There won’t be. Recalls are only for safety issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
