    High pitched noise at 55-60 mph

    My last update. Dash removed from vehicle to have the airbox replaced. Noise is still there. Ford still can't fix it. After not having my Ex for a month due to it being in the shop I traded it in and bought and different brand truck. Thanks for the help guys. I'm out.

    UPDATE: Ford fixed it in a few hours. Was simply a wire repair and a new connector. Hopefully it's a good long term fix.

    2017 Explorer radio audio clips on and off

    Haven't tried another audio source such as the USB, but I did try the satellite radio and the navigation. Both are quiet. if I smash or hit the dash with my hand it's not enough to replicate it. Has to be driven over a speed bump or pothole to do it. In the meantime driving in silence :(...

    Rear license plate hardware

    Post a pic of your issue might help us all understand. I had bought the weather tech covers and returned them as they didn't fit my provinces plate very well. Plate was too long and wide for it.
