Rattles

[JoeH]

2025 Explorer ST: At 800 miles a rattles started in the dash behind the gauges. Ford says it’s an issue with the dash material separating.
At 1500 miles there is a loud rattle somewhere in the undercarriage. It happens when going over any uneven surfaces.
Has anyone had these issues?

Yes..... what are they going to do about it is the question.

I am still waiting on a decision from Ford. I have been waiting for 4 weeks.

You actually hear rattling? or like a piece of wood is knocking around?

Hey guys.. My experience with the rattles is the cheap clip that are literally one time use for the undercarriage. I had rattles that appeared to come from the passenger side then the driver side. I started ripping the interior apart to locate it, it drove me absolutely mad.

When I replaced my exhaust with 3" thermal with midpipes is when I found the culprit.
I went as far as purchasing these:

INSANE PRICE for plastic. PISSED me off so bad. Again, one time use or if the wind catches it right, it separates.

Finally, my solution was 3D printing washers and nuts to replace the plastic pieces. WORKED like a charm. If yall want a full set for driver and passenger side, send me $20 and I'll get yall hooked up!
That covers shipping and the part to your door.

Thanks!

I have replaced all I could find with the 3d ones. I still have some sort of rattle in front of me which seems its from in front of me and the firewall. Right side calmed down. Now the left. Its driving me nuts as well.
