    What is this noise on start up?

    HOLD ON...DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY! I have owned our 2014 5.4 Expedition from new. The vehicle has made this noise from new. Shortly after purchasing I took it to the dealer to fix it. Sounded like a trans / internal noise to me. Yes it would only do it on a cold start. Ford told the dealer to...

    Thanks to all for the information. Believe we will keep the Expedition a little longer as it is a great vehicle for us.

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    I did as ManUpOrShutUp suggested. Turned off the Auto button before starting the vehicle from setting overnight (more than 8 hours). Drove the vehicle till the dash temp was at mid-point... presumed normal operating temp. Opened the windows with the radio off and pressed the auto button. No...

    SSMOCK, I tried your process and it did in fact act the way you say. Now I'm wondering if the noise is a problem or one that should be corrected. Have you approached the dealer for corrective action? Amazing that my dealer performed all the work and the Hotline approved it and didn't know what...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    Hello there... original poster on this problem here. Sorry I haven't been around. Been on business travel a bunch since January. Haven't been able to take the vehicle back for additional repair attempts as we didn't buy the ESP so the dealer doesn't provide a rental car while they try to fix the...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    A separate poster mentioned a TSB pertaining to a front pump issue. The trans tech (who also is the shop Forman at my dealer) that is working on our 2014 Limited followed direction from "Ford Service" he said. Seems to be a straight forward person so I believe him. Been starting it in the...

    Well...got the vehicle back today from the dealer. They replaced the valve body, front pump, temp sensor, and torque converter. Drove it home and it sounds okay. Will test (start up) again the next few mornings to see if the original grinding noise reappears. Glad all the work was covered under...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    Well here is the latest. Dropped the vehicle off Monday for the front pump work (TSB). Dealer called mid-week and said torque conveyor didn't fit into the pump. After consultation with the parts center they had sent the wrong pump(?). Today (Friday) we hear the trans tech had a major medical...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    Well the noise is back. Started it cold three times and it occurred each time. Called the shop manager and he said the next step is to pull the trans and do the front pump work. Will arrange another visit next week and see how that works. Will provide an update once back from the shop. Good...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    An update on this issue. Took the vehicle and left it overnight at the dealer. They waited for me to come back the next day so the vehicle would be stone cold and I could show the tech the noise. After four seconds at startup it made the noise. We went in and the tech looked up applicable TSBs...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    The noise in my unit comes from under the vehicle around the transmission. When sitting in my garage overnight when started the first time the noise is heard about 4 seconds after starting. Once it starts it won't make the noise anymore that day. I plan to take the vehicle to the dealer the...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    Megan at Ford Service... I was able to make an appointment and visit the dealer that sold me the Expedition. Left the vehicle overnight so it would be cold so the tech could hear the noise. They kept it all day and said he could not duplicate the noise. I took it home and guess what happened the...

    Thanks Meghan, I will have to coordinate leaving the vehicle overnight and get transportation back so they can hear the noise when the vehicle is stone cold. That is when the vehicle makes the noise. Will contact you once the appointment is made. Thanks again.

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    First time to submit a post here. Seen lots of good advise and information. Have a 2014 Limited with 6,500 miles on it so far that we purchased new last October. When it is stone cold (sits overnight for a few days in the garage) a slight gear mesh noise, or something like it, can be heard under...
