My 2013 Expy King Ranch EL 4WD has an odd noise that I can't replicate on command. I am hoping someone can shine a light on it for me! My brother, who managed a motor pool for the army said at first he thought it sounded like a cooling fan on the motor. It is loud enough to be heard over the motor... as a low frequency but loud hum. Sometimes it occurs at start up (sometime before putting into gear) even after not being run for a couple of days, so it shouldn't be cooling anything unless there's some kind of thermostat malfunction. When I hear it, I can shut off the motor and the sound continues. If I open the driver's door, it quits. Sometimes it makes the sound when I am driving, sometimes when idling... there doesn't seem to be any consistency. I have an extended warranty through June but I am concerned that if I can't replicate the noise that they'll charge me a diagnosis fee and send me on my way. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
