Whenever truck is driven there is a tapping noise coming from the engine. The Explorer was taken to the dealership 3 times for this problem. The first time dealer stated that the condition was a normal condtion. Second time the exhaust bolts were replaced. The third time the egr valve was replaced. The truck is still being serviced for the condition. Windshield wipers come on by themselves due to electrical short in the multi-function switch.
