This is one of my few complaints about my '09, a loud engine. It's **** near deafening when the outside temp approaches zero.

Thank you!

 

Wow, this is a great discussion and may explain the difference between our two '09's. My wifes is super smooth and quiet, but mine has more noise and vibration on acceleration. I'm going to check it out further and see if it's specifically in that RPM range, hadn't correlated it before, just chocked it up to vehicle variations. But if they can fix it...RayP

 

Update,
This is yet another repair not covered by warranty on our 2009 feh (the vibration fix). The truck now has 44000 owner miserable miles.

The repair is over 300 dollars, and will not be getting done, let it vibrate apart.

This has to be the most problematic vehicle I've ever owned. Ford's assistance has been less than helpful in the many many times we have had to bring the truck in for repairs.

Thanks again for the three page list of tsb's on a vehicle that is one year old. Go fomoco.

 

 

You are obviously unhappy with your FEH. We get it. BUT, those TSB's were for every FE/FEH ever manufactured--not just for the year you own.

 

Those TSBs are what's listed for '08 and '09, although a certain one may cover several MY.

 

Thanks for clarifying that Bill.
And yes, just read some of my posts to find that we went from being incredibly impressed by our 2008 to extremely disappointed with our 2009.
We thought we were getting many upgrades and improvements with the new model year, but from the first day we got it, we were disappointed with mileage, reliability and function.

Maybe we got a lemon, but I think it's more that then people on this site are the happy ones, with fewer disappointed ones posting.

I'm well used to being the unpopular poster for typing a little non hyper miler reality, but hey the site isn't followalonglikesheep.net!

I'm the average middle class owner who's wife drives the feh 95% of the time. We drive it like every other car we have ever driven. Turn the key (when we can get it to turn) and put the truck in drive and go....

I'll just take my 08 back thanks!!

 

I am also hearing this noise in my 2009 FEH. Again, the dealer says the noise is normal. Nothing to be concern about. That is why I'm looking some posts on hoe to change the Tranny fluid, but I cannot seem to find the exact location of the Tranny Fill plug.

 

I would not change the fluid because if you do have a problem, you may be voiding your warranty on the eCVT.
