I was wondering if there is anything official from Ford about the death rattle. I'm taking 5082 in for service on Saturday and my dealer knows nothing about the rattle. I wanted to show them something in writing other than what's here. Thanks

You fooled me...I looked.

Got my hopes up! Bastid! Ford will wait until the weather turns warm, and the cars stop making the noise, less people will Bitch, this will take the heat off of them until next winter. Lazy Bastards! They will continue to put off the fix until car runs out of warranty......it's all a money game for Ford, they could care less about the customer.

Considering going back to GM.

Didn't mean to get anyones hopes up. I think we all would like to have this issue resolved. I read that one guy got a free 75k mile warranty from Ford because of the rattle. Would love to get that! Sorry about the confusion.

That would be me.

I'm not sure of the protocol on this. you might get lucky and get one off the bat for this noise.

If you can, get the Service Manager to drive a new one off the lot to see if it will make the noise. It should erase any notions of putting a new engine in your car in their minds and it should pretty much qualify you for the ext warranty.

I'll have him do that on Saturday when I take it in. Thanks
