- 2016, explorer xlt 2.3l
Have a 2016 2.3l xlt with 22k. Rear differential, drive shaft and PTU replaced. Also leaking transmission since I bought it with 17k in April. Feels like a lemon to me...
At around 30-40mph, 1500 rpm, have a significant rattle while under load (going up hills). Sounds very much like a heat shield. The noise always occurs in 5th gear. Very annoying.
Looking for other 2.3l folks with similar issues with the rattle as dealer says this noise is apparently in all 2.3l...
