  1. I have a 2013 SEL Edge with 5,000 miles on it. The vehicle made a clunk noise when braking at low speeds. You could feel the clunk in the armrest between the driver and passenger seat. I took the vehicle back to ford dealer and they said they found a loose bolt somewhere on the rear motor mount. I took the vehicle, and the noise is still there. It doesn't sound serious but it makes me wonder if it is a safety issue or if the car will eventually breakdown on the highway. I'm taking the car back to the dealer tomorrow to see if they can find out what the heck it is. I think it may be the driveshaft dampener mount or what ever you want to call it. That is the only mechanical part in the area that the noise and the fell of the noise is coming from. I think that when I brake the car downshifts causing the driveshaft to bump this mount and then sends the vibration up into the car. The bump and clunk happen intermittantly and only when I am braking at low speeds i.e. 20 - 10 mph. The dampener has a rubber mount in it to absorb vibrations, but I think it may be defective and that is why I get these thumps, clunks, bumps.

     

    Any thoughts?

    Mine clunked like that the day I bought it. Ended up being the spare tire not being secured tight enough.

  2. I would add that I got an 8 year extended warranty from ford. It is a 4 year extended and talked them into 1/2 the price for 8 years. Cool thing is that if I don't use it, they pay me back in 8 years. Yeah right! Anyway, I would get something if I were you after seeing this: http://autos.yahoo.com/news/the-10-least-reliable-cars-181031192.html

    5/10 of these vehicles were Fords...no edge, but who knows if the Edge didn't come in 11th place.
