Vibration in a 14 Explorer.
We just bought a 2014 Explorer and have a vibration issue. Somewhere between 30 and 42 MPH the passenger floor vibrates just enough to say hey this isn't right. Took it back to the dealer and he couldn't find anything wrong, but tightened a heat shield anyhow. Thought it might be a tire/wheel outta balance so, I took it to a tire shop, they said nope feels like a front axle or cv joint. Anybody got any ideas?

First avenue of attack is a bad tire, splitting maybe. Feel around the tread surface for a bulge. If no luck, switch tires around....left to right, or front to back....see if your vibration changes. Tires take the brunt of the road attack, they will act up. (Steve, a witness)

How did the tire rotation go? Are you still experiencing the vibration? Let us know and I'll research some ways to help. How many miles are on the Explorer currently?

I haven't found the time to get my tires rotated so here I am, at the service door waiting for Ford to open. I'll post back tonight on what was done.

Just got my Ex back, the RF tire/wheel was .250 out of balance. They rebalanced it and I'll drive it for a week and see.

Thanks Crystal, my Explore spent the day at a dealership. The mechanic agrees with me and there is a vibration, but due to some traffic issues he was not able to pinpoint the issue. It's going to spend the weekend there and they are going to jump on it Monday.
