Has anyone had this issue when shutting of their expedition? Sounds like the exhaust is expanding, & pebbles are bouncing around inside the exhaust. I can’t attach a video. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I haven’t had the issue.

An underbody heat-shield issue can cause the noises you are describing. Have you checked to see if any are loose or damaged, or bent against another part of the vehicle?

Any driveability issues? Any check-engine light? If one or both catalytic converters are defective and the honeycomb inside is defective, it can cause a rattling noise as you describe.

Had the local ford dealer inspect it, they claim it’s normal and just the exhaust cooling down. I believe they’re wrong, as this doesn’t happen to any others

Definitely sounds like the heat shield. Have you noticed this sound in the past or did it just start recently ?
It would also be more noticeable in cooler temperatures. Not sure if its been cooler where you live.
