#1 of 6 Whining noise? by bvilleteg62 Jan 29, 2008 (5:34 pm)
Every once in awhile my 1996 Explorer will make a whining noise on acceleration.. Just wondering if anyone has an idea on what it could be... Thank you Replies to this message: sborowka (Mar 17, 2008 4:34 pm) rconley2 (Apr 03, 2008 7:28 am) jilltentinger (Apr 17, 2008 3:47 pm) scootter1 (Dec 28, 2008 8:47 pm)
#2 of 6 2001 Highlander whining noise by hammer12 Mar 03, 2008 (6:19 am)
Recently, my 2001 Toyota Highlander has a whining noise from underneath when it is cold. This comes when you accelerate, especially around the 45-60 mph range. Once it is warmed up, about 15-20 minutes it goes away. Any suggestions??

Replying to: bvilleteg62 (Jan 29, 2008 5:34 pm) Hi there:   I saw you note to the bulletin board at Edmunds about your explorer with the whining noise during accelleration. I have an 03 explorer and I have the same problem. I was told that I may need a new transmission although I have not yet confirmed that with another shop. What did you figure out? I'd really appreciate it if you'd share with me what you learned about the problem. Thanks.   Steve sborowkaoptonline.net Replies to this message: rconley2 (Apr 03, 2008 7:28 am) jilltentinger (Apr 17, 2008 3:47 pm)

They replaced the alternator (it was under warranty) and it was fine for a couple of years. But now it does it again (and it's out of warranty). I talked to a mechanic yesterday about it and he said that Ford has always had a problem with this alternator and it's bad again.

Replying to: bvilleteg62 (Jan 29, 2008 5:34 pm) The 03 I bought my daughter is doing the same thing when you start it when its cold. Once it warms up it goes away almost all the way. It is coming from around the transmission. The mechanic at work said it could be the flex plate cracked.   Has anyone else found the cause of their noise?   Scott
