Chuck,
It has been about a year since your last post. Any luck in finding a solution?
I have a 2016 Limited 4x2 that is exhibiting the exact same symptoms. At highway speeds, on a smooth road, when I slightly accelerate, the Expedition vibrates/rumbles like you are driving over rumble strips. The vibration is momentary. If I let off of the accelerator, it stops. It doesn’t appear to happen when I accelerate more aggressively, thus dropping from 6th gear to 5th or lower gear.
The Expedition has 103k miles, and never tows. It is the family car. We have six kids. I literally just finished replacing all the plugs and coils (and air filter). The plugs had about 30k miles on them and looked fine, from what I could tell. The coils were original.
I took it on a test drive and as soon as I settled into a steady highway speed, I was able to reproduce the rumble again. Same thing, smooth road, slight acceleration and it felt like momentarily driving over a rumble strip.
I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
