New Sound - bubbling / gurgling sound from the dash

[DanCoon]

Just noticed a new sound today. I'm not sure it's normal... When turning off the Mach E I hear a bubbling / gurgling sound from the dash. I assume it's the A/C system or maybe the coolant changing phase but I don't recall hearing this on my old ICE vehicles.

Where's @Gimme_my_MME on this one? Is he ghosting us?

Does it sound like it’s coming from the bottom left of the drivers display? I have that too, though I previous described it as a sort of like clicking or small motor turning sound.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the buzzing display?

Hey there, Dan! Go ahead and send us a message with your VIN and mileage. I'd be happy to see what I can do to assist in getting to the bottom of this bubbling noise you are experiencing with your Mach E.

It actually sounds exactly like this parrot at the 7 second and 20 second mark. Sorry I couldn't find a less cute / annoying video. And it sounds like its coming from behind the instrument cluster.

Obviously you got a MME with the rare gurgling parrot mod to the interior performance sound package. Congrats!

Seriously, I hope you follow through on the offer of help from the Ford rep.

I did indeed send them a message and will let you guys know what I find out.

If the sound is from behind the instrument cluster, it's not from the a/c system. The a/c system evaporator can make noises, when a/c first starts up, but it is located behind the center screen. M guess is you're hearing something from one of the coolant loops.

I did a little bit of research online and tend to agree. I'm thinking that there's air trapped in the system somehow. Anyways, I received a call from Ford this evening. They will be in touch with me and my local dealer to make sure it gets handled.

Just got my car back from the dealer. The said it was a normal sound and compared it to a few other Mach-E's on the lot which exibited the same sound.

Just seen this - I have the exact same thing on mine.

I put it down to battery coolant settling after shutdown - but it does sound like big bubbles surfacing from a deep tank of water.

I noticed this sound today after my 2.7.2/2.7.3 updates over the last couple days. Kinda weird I haven't noticed it in 9 months, apparently it's normal?

Yes, mine has always done it.

Mine does it too! Just noticed it! Thanks for the thread to put my mind at ease!
