2019 Ford Edge

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SWITCH GEARS, OR EVEN GET OUT OF PARK. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRAGGED OUT OF MY GARAGE, HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND HAS BEEN TOWED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO, THERE IS A RATTLING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, CARPET COMES UP, PIECES FALL APART FROM THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO FORD AND WAS DISMISSED.

REAR DRIVE UNIT (RDU) PRODUCES A VERY LOUD AND ANNOYING METALLIC SCRAPING NOISE WHEN ANY DOOR IS OPENED. SSM 48007 - 2019 EDGE/NAUTILUS - CLICKING NOISE FROM RDU WHEN DOOR(S) OPENED, KEY ON, AND/OR ENGINE RUNNING ' BUILT ON 22-JAN-2019 AND THROUGH 03-MAR-2019 2019 EDGE AND NAUTILUS VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH AWD AND BUILT ON 22-JAN-2019 ANDTHROUGH 03-MAR- 2019, EXHIBIT A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN A DOOR IS OPENED OR AFTER KOEO/KOER. THE REAR DRIVE UNIT (RDU) IN THESE VEHICLES USES A BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR TO VARY THE AMOUNT OF TORQUE TO THE REAR AXLE, AND DURING FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION, IT PRODUCES A NOTICEABLE NOISE THAT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE RDU. IF THE NOISE APPEARS ABNORMALLY LOUD, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO COMPARE THE NOISE FROM THE CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE WITH A 2019 AWD EDGE OR NAUTILUS BUILT BEFORE 22-JAN-2019 OR AFTER 03- MAR-2019, IN A SIMILAR ENVIRONMENT (I.E. BOTH OUTSIDE). IF THE NOISE IN THE CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE IS DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER THAN A SIMILAR VEHICLE BUILT OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATES, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE RDU FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS, AN UPDATED RDU ASSEMBLY IS AVAILABLE.
