Hi all, first post here. I’ve got a 2019 Expedition Limited Max with about 36k miles, and right around 32k it started making a high pitched whistle between approximately 40-50mph.
Long story story, I’ve done just about everything possible to isolate the issue, all windows and roof open and closed, transmission in 2/4A, in neutral, mirrors folded in and out, absolutely nothing changes the noise. It has been to the dealer twice now and they’ve taped the entire wiper cowling to no effect, and have since advised they believe it to be a transmission/mechanical issue.
To me it sounds far more like a wind noise than mechanical, especially as it’s affected only by speed, not engine or drivetrain load. The best I can tell it seems to be coming from the driver’s mirror. I’ve taped that off entirely as well, and the noise persists.
The dealer has since opened up a help ticket directly with Ford, but I’m hoping someone here has already resolved the problem. Appreciate your help!
