I posted on another thread offering my help for your concern but I wanted to post here in case you didn’t see it. I would like to assist with resolving your concern if you would PM me with the info I mentioned above.Our '11 Ex just developed the fan shutdown noise... I have a call to the dealer, trying to find out if the fan squeal is just the beginning of an imminent fan failure with subsequent engine overheating issue...
My prediction is that we will see a much larger number of failed fans as we move into summer.
I’m sure Jamie is helping to take care of you over on Facebook, but feel free to message me if you need assistance. I already have your Explorer’s info from previous messages so all I would need is your approximate mileage and dealer name.I was one of those FB posters. I started hearing the high pitched noise about 2 weeks ago. This past weekend my fan must have failed because my engine overheated while idling with AC on. Anyone hearing that high pitched noise may want to test their fan by leaving X idling in drive with AC on Max. When I did this, with temp 80+ outside, it only took about 5 minutes for engine to almost reach max temp.
Dealer told me yesterday he was having a fan sent overnight to the dealer. I think I'll be calling today to make sure it was not back-ordered.
Thanks for the link!
