So the dealer just called me and said the reason my truck is still having the rattle at cold start is because it's a quart low on oil... WTF... that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. First, my truck burns zero oil between changes. I'm pretty sure it was full when I checked it after the last oil change done by dealer at the same time they replaced the timing chain......now they want to do a oil consumption test... I'm done!!!!! Going to trade it in on a Toyota Friday afternoon. I'm sick of this. I willnever buy a ford product again. Neither will any family member of mine.

Thats a joke. Ford really needs to figure it out. my dealership know better then to call me with that crap!

So - what was the final resolution? I haven't seen an update. I too get the occasional "rattle" noise on startup like in the videos.

I have an appointment for a pinion seal leak in a couple weeks, but I'm also going to ask that this be checked into along with:

1. A quick "sqeak" / "squeal" that occurs when driving up a steep hill when letting off the gas.

2. The stupid horse manure smell from the vents

3. The click / pop noise that happens every time I reverse

37k miles and I just "purchased" the leased truck...hope these are warrantied items that are fixed right the first time, although based on threads I've seen for most of these issues, it's not looking good...

Please keep us up dated on the squeal noise you have been getting. I have one that happens when i really get on it hard. It comes from front passenger side,

Started my truck this afternoon to go to work tonight and guess what??? Still rattled on startup...

Well after a week getting my truck back they diagnosed the same rattling noise as the turbo. Apparently they ran all sorts of tests and it took the shop foreman to figure it out. Its all warranty work as of now but I have 99000kms 1000kms more and I am done. Going to try and get the extended warranty, they already rebuilt the transmission don't want to be stuck with a massive bill. Not so sure about ford anymore.

Has anyone actually had this problem corrected?? I just see people saying what they believe is the problem.

You've done the right thing by looking first to your dealer, dios. I'll look into available options. Please send me a private message with your full name, VIN, dealership information, and best daytime contact number so I can hit the books.

I have 5 video recordings of mine. I took it in wed. They couldn't make it do it so I'm on my way to pick it up. The truck might not make it home.

The video that trippen1999 showed of the clatter on start up is identical to what my bosses 2011 f150 ecoboost would do almost every morning on cold start ups starting at around 70,000 miles and he just traded it in with 150,000 miles still running strong. Other than the annoying noise on cold start up it caused no other affects to the engine for 80,000 miles, at least noticable any way.
