So, i bought a 2014 FX4 Ecoboost back in December. A few days later i notice some sort of noise coming from the engine, and or something under the hood. It sounds like a loud humming/ squelching noise. It sometimes affects performance, and will vibrate the shift stick and pedals. The loss of power is something worrying me too. Plus it acts like it's not getting gas at times.

Has anyone had this problem before? I took it into the dealer 2 times and they cannot duplicate the problem. Yet it does this all the time now. It won't go away.

 

Record a video/audio sample of the issue and post it here. Maybe someone can help. This of course you would want to take to the dealer as well so they can hear it in hopes of getting something going with regards to repair.

 

I need a gopro camera to place under the hood. It's the only way to get it because i have tried to record it when i am driving, but you cannot hear it in the video. Anyone here in houston that i can borrow one for a few days?

 

As advised by TJPlatinumEB (thanks!), I definitely suggest getting a recording of this, if possible. Additionally, I'll get a case started and escalated to the regional customer service manager for further assistance. Please send a private message my way with your full name, current mileage, VIN, servicing dealership, and best daytime contact number.

Ok sent you the PM with the info requested. I also went and purchased a GoPro and will be installed it today and recording hopefully by tonight.

Thanks for the help with this. Kinda bummed having all these issues with a brand new truck.

 

why didn't you just bring it in to the dealer, its a 2014, and its most likely under warranty

doh, I just meant since it's now constant, they won't be able to say they can't reproduce the problem. Or try another dealer

 

You're welcome, ElGordoTejano; I understand where you're coming from. Thanks for sending the information my way; I'll check it out and get back to you as soon as I can.

Once it's warmed up enough it goes away, or it's very low. Today it once i got going on the highway and punched it, it felt like it was literally going to shut down.

Now, let me tell you something, i did get the GoPro, installed it under the hood. BAD IDEA!!!! There is so much noise going on in there that even though i could hear that humming/squealing sound from inside the cabin, that you could not distinguish it in the video. Next step is to mount it in a wheel well and see what that does. If not then on top of the hood next.
