2010 Edge SEL: Had a clunking noise when turning and accelerating. My dealer changed both front struts - no success, then after I demanded a free loaner and stated that I will not take the vehicle home until resolved - the dealer discovered a "defective" engine mount (car only had 4,500 miles) New Engine mount replacement seems to be the culprit - thus far.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

I just bought a new 2010 Ford Edge a few weeks ago and have only 2,000 km on it and over the past week or so, I've been noticing that when I start to accelerate I hear a "clunk" or knocking noise. It happens right around 10 - 20 km/ph when the vehicle is shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. It doesn't happen from 3 gear on, and it doesn't seem to happen every time I'm driving the vehicle.

 

I've read a number of posting of the dreaded "PTU" and tranny seal leaks and hoping that this isn't the issue. I plan on bringing it into the dealer, but I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this type of behaviour / noise coming from their Edge and if so...what was the issue?

Any recommendAtions as to what to use as a protectant / polish for the CLAD chrome wheels on a 2010 SEL (I presume they are a thinly coated in aluminum clad - how disappointing)?

Thanks

Rob
