Ford - Explorer :: 2014 - Making Clanking Noise When Cranking On Hot Days?
Jul 20, 2017
I have a 2014 Explorer Sport and I'm having problems with cranking. On really hot days when its 90+ degrees, my explorer will make a clacking noise when cranking. When its 100 degrees, the first try on cranking will give the same noise, turn over and not start. On the second try, it will start. The odd thing is, after it does crank, it will crank normally when I try it again. After waiting a few hours, the same issue will occur again. I'm thinking this may be a starter issue. I will take a video and post later.

My 2.4L engine is making a clanking noise while running. When I checked the oil level today, it was low by about 1.5 quarts. There's no check engine light.
Car has 74K miles now. I purchased the car two years ago with 35K miles. I have always performed regular maintenance myself. The car had its oil control valve replaced at 55K miles.

So I noticed a few months ago that a clanking noise came from the front of my GLI when I hit bumps. This noise went away if I had my foot on the brake, so enough vortex searches came up with loose caliper carrier pins.
I ordered the brake stiffening kit last month, but have yet to install it. Now just the other day, I heard this crazy noise come from my brakes entering my garage. It was like a loud 'click" when I engaged the brakes hard enough and I could repeat it many times. I know, I am silly for not getting the kit installed sooner, but I want to make sure that this 'click' is likely related to the carrier pins before I go taking the brakes apart in my garage.
I only ask because my car has 95k on it and is possibly on original suspension, so bushings and mounts might be starting to go.

Couple months ago I picked up a 12 GTI. This is my first car with a turbo so I don't know what to expect. I noticed on days that are in the high 70's and 80's when I'm accelerating I can hear what sounds like air from the turbo.
I took it to my dealer they did a full inspect and said nothing is wrong. Noticed a small creaking noise from the radio/dash??

My explorer is making this popping/ cranking noise when I back up and I give it a little too much gas. It will also do this in drive and also when i'm driving and I get back on the gas pedal it will jerk. I really don't want to take it to ford...

With 8 speed tranny has the clanking/clunking noise when shifting to P? When I park my car and shift from R to P there is a clanking/clunking noise and I feel small vibration on shifter itself when the noise occurs. It happens all the time and the noise loud enough. Is that normal? Up to this moment I thought it is normal (it still very well maybe) until I drove my friends Audi that does not have any noises when playing with the shifter. My Audi did not have that either.

So when turning my steering wheel i get this croaking noise. At stand still and while driving. Its annoying the heck out of me. You can hear it in the car and outside. What it could be? Power steering fluid level is normal.

So I recently bought a Hyundai Elantra Gt 2003 that I totally love. But ever since I bought it, it struggles to turn on. It makes a cranking noise before it turns on, and it takes about 2 to 3 times for it to fully turn on. I changed the crank shaft sensor and the fuel pump. What can it be?

2000 Explorer making what I would call a bearing humm. I have replaced both front wheel bearings over the past year. When I jack up the front and check for play everything is tight, I don't get any noise by spinning the tires. While driving I put the tranny in neutral and still get the hummm sound, so I don't think it is the tranny.
The sound definitely changes with the speed of the car. Turning the wheel or engaging the transfer case do not change the sound. I have had my son crawl around the car while I'm driving and he said the sound is not coming from the back, for sure the front but can't tell if it is specific to one side of the other.
Where do I go from here? This is my daughters daily driver and its been a great car, 148000 miles and no issues at all so far. I would like to figure it out so I can feel good about her driving the car.

My exlporer heat and A/C system has been making "ticking or flapping" noises for sometime. So, to make it stop I would turn fan to full blast and it would stop and the heater would function fine after that. Last week we hasd a warm spell and I switched to A/C (going through the same process to stop the noise). All was well until I tried to switch back to heat after the warm spell, and now I get nothing but cold air. The noise will only stop when I turn the temp dial to the cold side, but either way, all I get is cold air. Is this something I can fix, and if not what am I looking at for repair cost? I'm freezing!!!

Its getting worse. Noticed it a month or so ago, very slight ticking noise when the engine was cold. It would go away after a minute or two when the engine warmed up. Kinda sounded like a lifter ticking type noise when low on oil but I was not low on oil.
Now its getting more noticeable and it doesn't go away. Very noticeable when I take off or accelerate. less noticeable when I take my foot off the gas but its still there.
What it might be? I am pretty newbie about engines and I don't want some repair outfit telling me I need a rebuilt engine if all I need is to tighten my manifold or something. Because that would be my luck.

Asking on behalf of the woman who picks up my kids from school and drops them off at after school care. She has 2005 explorer and says the brakes are making noise while she is rolling. noise stops when brake is applied. she thinks it is coming from the front. I said I would check it out. I've owned a few trucks but never messed with an explorer.

I have a 1996 Explorer XLT 4x4 and I hear what I call barring making a noise when I accelerate. If it is the bearings in the rear end how expensive is this to fix? I love my truck but I'm on a fixed income and scared to death. I will not drive it until I get some sort of idea as to what and where I should take it.

I own a 2002 Ford Explorer and I need diagnosing a problem. Whenever I start to pick up speed it starts to buckle and I always have the 4x4 on auto and it still buckles.

For the last few weeks, when I make a turn (particularly a sharp turn in either direction) I get a "clunking" noise that sounds like it is coming from the front end somewhere. I can also feel it - almost like a gear slipping and engaging again. I am not in 4WD mode when this is happening. It NEVER happens unless I am turning a corner. If I drive straight, it's fine. 1999 Explorer XLT (4 door, 4wd model)....

My wife has a 2010 Explorer 4.0 with 46000 miles on it. Yesterday the compressor started making a grinding noise when you turn the defrost on. It's only when the clutch kicks in. I'm hoping its something simple but, I fear its not.

My wife informed me about a noise coming from the chassis of her truck.
2007 Explorer XLT 4x4, 4.0 OHV, AT, 89,000 miles on the odometer.
We took the truck to dinner last night so I could investigate the problem. This occurs while only making left hand turns at slow speed.
There is a definite clunk sound AND feel. It actually sounds and feels like we are driving over a loose manhole cover, and IT DOES feel like metal to metal contact on the driverʻs sids of the truck.

I have a 2013 F150 FX2 5.0 motor that hit 16,000 miles. I took it yesterday to dealer for oil change. After 1 hour they advised me it was ready and that it was sitting outside. When I start the truck with my door open I notice a slight metal on metal sound coming from the driver side wheel well. Its not a constant taping sound. It more like its morse code. I called the service adviser. They take the truck, They came back 30 mins later and said. They hear the sound. Sounds like it coming from the bottom of the motor by the oil pain. They confirm its coming from the motor. I had 2 options.. Leave truck and let them dig into it or come back on Monday and drop the truck off. I left with the truck but will be returning on Monday. I spoke to a buddy mechanic and he said something is wrong and he believes they ran my truck without oil. He said maybe the tech started the truck and then realized he forgot the oil..
