I just took delivery of a 2023 Limited 302A package, HD Trailer Tow with 3.73 gear. After driving it about 200 miles I began to hear what sounds like gear whine from the left front wheel area. Then I thought it might be a tire with belt separation. The more I listened, I began to hear what sounds like a scrubbing or brake pad slipping on decels and braking. When it hits a bump in the road, sounds like something is loose inside the wheel area. Scratching my head on both of these. This is my third Expedition. My last one was al leased 2019. Nor issues at all with it. As amatter of fact, after I drove the 2023 home, I wished I had the 2019 back.
So enough said. I made an appointment with the dealership, not the useless one that I purchased it from, but a more customer oriented one. So, they could'nt verify the scrubbing noised nor the tire noise. The explanation was the electronic brake booster. That was the source of the noise. I don't believe it. Is the electronic brake booster new for 2023? Anyone know? It just seems like this scrubbing noise is something that shouldn't be for a $76K vehicle. Has anyone with a 2022-23 Expedition had a similar problem with front end noise? I did not verify whether the passenger side has the same noise. I am hoping someone has an answer. Not sure what to do next. Contact Ford I guess. I am a retired Ford Engine Development engineer, wishing I had more suspension experience. Please reply. Thanks.
