I recently picked up a 2016 F150 4X4 and it has been an adventure to say the least.

I have had numerous problem with the truck from day 2 off the lot and now I have another. when the engine is cold and i begin to accelerate there is a rattle noise coming from the front passenger side of the truck. To he honest it sounds like a bag blowing in high winds or a Honda Civic with a fart can on the exhaust.

I have taken it to two different dealers where they were unable to replicate the noise. I can only replicate this noise when the engine has not warmed up.

Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix. I am getting ready to turn this truck over if the issues keep coming.


The volume has to be turned up pretty loud to hear is accurately.

Thanks!

I can try to get one later tonight. Maybe my wife will be kind enough to hang out the window to capture it.

Is it like a rattle right after cold startup? Or kind of a groaning sound?

The noise I am describing does not happen when I start the truck. It happens when I begin driving and give it some gas when the engine is still cold. If I try to replicate the noise when the engine is warm i cannot.

This is why the dealer has trouble replicating the noise.

I have attached the Video!

Because it only happens when cold and accelerating...
Seems to me that it may be turbo related. maybe wastegate noise
