- 2021 Explorer XLT
I bought my wife a 2021 Explorer XLT with the 2.3 and AWD off the lot new in 2020, so far have only had minor cosmetic issues with it. However, now we are hearing a strange chirping sound while cruising at over 25 mph. It has slowly gotten louder over the last few months but we cannot find out where it is coming from. I have taken the car to the dealership numerous times no one is able to locate where this sound is coming from. Here are my observations:
Starts making noise around 25 to 30 mph doesn't go away at higher speeds
doesn't get louder or faster as you accelerate
goes away if you decelerate by coasting or breaking
goes away if you increase speed suddenly
only occurs while maintaining speed
shifting to neutral while while driving doesn't make any changes
doesn't increase sound with engine revs or around turns
Just had my front hub actuator seal replaced because it was leaking fluid. I have been on the google hunt for weeks. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix, or know an area where i could check to try and find some kind of answer?
I will try to get a good video of the sound tomorrow. It is faint but loud enough to be annoying as heck. This is my first post, and I will be looking into lightly modding this car in the future after my Mustang is where I want it to be.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
