They have had my truck going on 5 days now with no luck. I will recommend something as simple as that to them. I don't see that being the fix, but would be nice if it was something simple like that! My dealership hasn't been the easiest to work with on the issue though....

 

Got my truck back after five days. They still haven't fixed the problem. They moved the transmission line and wrapped it thinking it might've been rubbing. They also topped off my transmission fluid, so that knocks the other fix we thought it might be. They also keep claiming they can't reproduce the problem even though when I brought it there I had one of them come out and listen to it while it was doing it. I am pretty fed up at this point. I've owned the truck for 3wks and it's been in for service for over 13 days.

 

That's garbage. Mine still makes the noise but Im almost sure it has to do with the brakes. When I press the brake pedal it starts buzzing. I thought it had to do with putting it in and out of gear. But I put the parking brake on and shifted into a gear and it didn't make the noise. Still scratching my head though.

 

Well I have been cruising without touching the brake and the noise started and kept making the noise until 6th gear. I'm puzzled.

 

I've got 5500 miles my 2013 fx4 has been doing this since around 800 miles. I can never reproduce it for the dealer mine makes the noise shifting thru gears 3-6 and when in park but if I tap the accelerator it will stop.
Really wish they could fix this it's getting old and as of late seems to be louder when it happens.

It has to be something with the gear change. It only happens to me when changing gears. It has been more aggressive now then it has ever been. But I took the truck on a 800 mile road trip over the weekend and noticed it did it a lot more. The fact that Ford doesn't have an answer is getting very upsetting to me....especially after I spend $45,000 on a new truck because I was trading in my old Ford Taurus SHO because it had nothing but problems!!!!!!

 

I have a 2013 xlt 4x4 offroad scab with about 5200miles on it. it is doing the same exact noise. called the dealer yesterday (about a different issue with the tires) and explained to them what the noise sounded like. the service guy said they have had a few issues with something similar and that they have replaced the brake module(?? don't remember the correct name). I hope to find out something this coming week, but everything I have read said that it had to do with the brakes. mine only does it when I put it in park with the engine running.

 

Wow, it's not surprising that there are others with the same issue. I have a 2013 f150 fx4. It started making the whirring noise just like is described. I also went to ford and when I could not reproduce the noise on demand that " if the check engine light is not lit, it is within ford spec"!!!!! What a joke of an auto maker. What is it going to take for Ford to put more time into engineering than propaganda?? I currently own 4 Ford trucks in addition to the fx4 so I am not just ford bashing. I am tired of dealers without enough training to sell or service their own vehicles.

Sorry to rant. I too am looking for a proper fix to what appears to be more "lowest priced manufacturing" issues.

 

Here is another forum discussing this same issue. 2013 fx4 vibration noise when I shift into park - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans There is a TSB about a delayed shift that is suppose to fix it. Hope this helps.

 

My 2012 ecoboost has been making a whirrrring noise for quite sometime. Just lately it's gotten a lot worse. I found on another f150 website a lot of other people were having the same issue. The noise is coming from the driver side front under neath the air filter box. The culprit it seems to be the vacuum pump that helps with braking and locking the hubs in. This is only on the ecoboost engine apparently. I'm getting alittle annoyed cause this is the second issue that has arisen within 4000km after the warranty has run out on my f150. The first was a turbo solenoid that literally failed within 500km after the warranty ended.

 

I have just ordered a new vacuum pump and going to install asap!! Will update if it improves after I replace it. I'm hopeful!!

 

Please let us know!

 

I remember a month ago i was parked nose up and i went from park to drive and had a grrrr noise so i went to park to reverse and same thing. After that i took truck in a nd no noise no nothing. I havent had noise sinse. But now every so often mostly shifting from 3rd and 4th i get a humming grrrr sound. It happens once o drive cycle.Im gonna check fluid in tranny to make sure.

 

I have a 13 fx4 super cab and mine does the same thing but usually when I put it in park. If you put in reverse and then back to park it usually stops. Mentioned it to dealer that it sounded the same as abs tone so they checked the f'inf brakes!
Brakes are fine ( no ****) to me it sounds like a solenoid

 

eh all, I have the same issue that sometimes comes up when I shift into park, and sometimes think I hear it while driving but mostly when shifting to park. I usually tap the gas just lightly and it goes away. I know revving in park isnt the greatest thing but that was the only way I could stop it... I was curious if it could be a BOV getting stuck slightly open and it is the sound of air passing thru a small passage way. When giving it a lil gas maybe things get freed and settle back to normal? I am no mechanic tho but I think I may go to my dealer to get this issue on record just incase I get close to warrenty when the sound really starts to go bad. I have a 2013 FX2 with currently 16000kms on it. I have been hearing just after receiving it FO. I doesnt sound like it is something bad tho, it almost sounds like a leak in a vacuum somewhere like most you are stating.

Ill let you know if I find a solution to the issue eventually. I am not letting the dealer tinker with my truck till they and I know 100% where it is coming from.

Thanks for all of the posts here... Ill def be saying "no it isnt that" to most of the things you guys have said on here if they try to suggest any of them.

 

I have been making note as to when my 2013 EB is making the noise and it appears to be more pronounced when the temperature outside is much cooler than the air in the engine bay. My thought is there is a improperly supported inter cooler pipe that when the vehicle is on an incline and/or the air temp difference is great enough a seam is leaking as to allow air in or out. I have noticed this noise in most cool weather driving conditions but not when it's hot outside. This also my thought as to why Ford can't figure it out. They bring it in a warm bay to poke at it and it won't make the noise. Any thoughts?

 

Was it $390

 

$360, with the exchange rate American to Canadian.

 

Is there anything specific found that lead to looking at the vacuum pump?

I am having the same issue and just last week the dealer could not hear the noise. I would like to return to them with a little info on how you found it was a vacuum pump.

 

There's a new TSB under which my vehicle was repaired that calls for the replacement of a transmission pump. Fixed the problem for me.

I have just purchased a 2014 FX4 SCREW 145WB with Max Tow. It is a great tuck, but I have developed a problem that is similar to what you have explained above (The original post). The problem started to occur for me around the 700 mile mark. I have roughly 1200 miles on the truck currently. That said, the problem is worse when the engine and tranny are not at operating temperature. It is a really weird noise like an "ugghhh" sound from right around the driver's headlight area. My wife explains the noise like air trying to get out, but I know it is not the BOV Of course I took it to the dealer and I couldn't reproduce the problem with the tech on board because the engine and tranny where completely warm. The next day the noise was back and there is no rhyme or reason when it will occur, but is driving me crazy and I hate it. The truck still has power, but I know this is not right. Can you tell me what you have done to fix the problem, if you have? I appreciate the help as I want to get this fixed asap and the dealer has not be overly friendly so I want to bring them some information. Thanks in advance.

Best,

First Ford Boost

 

Thanks cole250
Please let me know if they fix it

I took mine in today for the same sound. God, I hope they figure it out quick.

 

Seems like it's pretty common but the two dealers I've dealt with seem clueless about it.

bama, dealer told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They drove another 13 boost and said it sounded the same way. I can only think of two things now: 1) the sound actually disappeared for the time being, even though it was there when I drove it home. 2) the have no #### idea what they are doing. I'm just thinking why did they need to drive another 13? No experience with the ecoboost or a tech that is inexperienced?

 

Yea I'm betting they'll start figuring it out around warranty expiration time. Very frustrating that they're so clueless.

 

Took mine to the dealer last weekend for the same noise issue. Took the tech for a ride and he said he never heard a noise like that. He opened a hotline ticket with Ford and he said he would follow up with me when he heard back. Ford played it off and told the tech to road test another similar vehicle on the lot. He then told me the other vehicle made the same noise. That is crappy...you cannot tell me that noise is normal! Now it does it all the time and it even makes the noise shifting into park. I have noticed when the tranny is 100% warm the noise goes away. Is this tranny noise? I am so frustrated! This has ruined the new truck experience for me. I traded in a good GMC for these problems! I am very upset!

 

I traded in a good GMC for these problems! I am very upset!

I don't think that's a true statement! A good GMC?

 

Anyone have the TSB #? My dealer says this is normal.

 

Mine makes the same noise when put into park, especially on inclines. What the heck is it??

 

Unfortunately it's a great mystery that ford is clueless to I'm at 7000 miles and several trips to different dealers in and no fix yet. And this isn't the first thread on the issue it seems to be fairly common.

Ford has had my 2014 XLT Ecoboost for a total of 11 days so far with no fix. It's going back today and they'll have it for at least another 3 days (I need it for a weekend trip). It's extremely frustrating. They acknowledge there's an issue, they just don't know what it is.

While ford is replacing the oil slinger in the diff they are going to "look into" the issue when shifting to park. I'll update once I hear something back.

Hey Fordtough1125, bama1080, srs77, and Mecmar44,

I'd like to look into this. Please PM your name, VIN, mileage, dealer, best daytime phone number, and some more details on the symptoms you're experiencing; I'll see how I can best assist.

Nick
