| Description of the problem | The transmission will twist the driveshaft at startup, stationary, and cause the rear end to pop very loudly. I've shown ford engineering a video of it, i was told that it was normal. I've never heard of a vehicle doing this before. There is a rattling sound on deceleration, loudest when the engine is cold and lessons or maybe even goes away after warmed up. The engine was replaced earlier this year because of an oil consumption issue. The truck has memory power driver's seat and power mirrors that should go into place depending on the key fob that it detects. Randomly both side mirrors will start moving and popping before going back into position. This always occurs before the vehicle is started. I've noticed that it is usually when it detects the key fob or when i use the fob for some function. The seat randomly doesn't go into the memory position at startup. |
