Hello Ford Edge Owners....
First, I am more or less new to the forum and am finding this column to be the most active....if I need to post this elsewhere please let me know. But I have an '07 Edge that up until now has been more or less flawless. However, within the past two days I have noticed a rattle sound coming from somewhere under the car, approximately on the passenger side, sounds like near the front right wheel though I am not sure. Could be closer to the vicinity of the engine but definitively coming from somewhere under the car. I hear the sound upon acceleration, with the car moving, and its not consistent. If you were to put some bb's in a tin can and rapidly shake it, that is what it sounds like. Or, another way to describe it...if there were a very hard steel heat shield that was rapidly vibrating and impacting an adjacent structure.
I've read on other sites on the 'net where other Ford models have had issues like this, and some folks claim it could be faulty ignition timing....or perhaps a catalytic converter that's been destroyed. However, I only hear the noise when the car is moving and upon acceleration.
Any suggestions or diagnosis help would be appreciated. It has 76,XXX miles on it.
