06 Expedition XLT noise on start up Bought a Expedition 06, March of 06 it is now sitting on the Ford dealer lot because of this noise upon initial start up. Sounds like a grinding (metal to metal), or even a tool or nut or bolt being thrown around upon initial start after vehicle has been driven for a while and then parked. According to Ford Engineer it is a normal??? noise upon start up because of the air compressor fluids not running properly on a cold engine. I was advised to turn the A/C off before I started the vehicle... yea right and it is brand new?!?! Apparently Ford thinks this is normal on a $32,000 vehicle that sounds like a piece of C--P on initial start. The vehicle is still on the lot after over 40 days and 3x sent in for the same problem. I an afraid to drive it because Ford cannot guarantee me 100% that this is what the problem is and also guarantee that the vehicle will not catch on fire, blow the engine or stall. So we have filed the lemon law on the vehicle through Ford Motor and are also doing it through our state. Appreciate any feedback or any comments of others doing the same Ford claims that it is normal than I feel that they should all make the "normal" sound. Thanks:: |
