Yeah, I'm going to have to do the relocation mod. I use the heck out of my carplay and have the cubby open with a white Apple cord coiled around the shifter.

NOOO, my ocd cant handle loose cords dangling. lol. It is a great little mod, My old cord was getting pinched and kinked from the sliding tray door, as well as the braided cord was rubbing the finish off the sliding door in the corner. Cant have that!

Dude, why you gotta rub my face in it!?
Recalls are a no biggie, but I dont wish the decel/accel rattle on you. Your truck will be that Unicorn that is absolutely perfect. lol
Ha ha! I hope it is a Unicorn... I'll take the Factory Freak 5.0L while we are at it. That one motor that seems to have that extra handful of horsepower for no apparent reason...
At least you have your truck! I have been out of a truck for 3 years now... I am really itching to get back in a truck!

I leased a Fusion that I am waiting to turn in. I also had a 2005 Mustang GT for about 8 months that I drove around. I move cars around way too often... I am really hoping this truck stays for a long long time.
Just got off the phone with the dealer service rep. I've been informed that the truck is done and does not have the issue anymore. She mentioned that they had done roughly 15 hours of warranty labor and needed other parts to remedy (rep didn't know exactly what). Asked them to park it outside for now to let it cool down completely and retest in a few hours. Ill ask to speak to the rep if I can when I get there this evening and update following.
I will try and word this as best as I can.
When I dropped the truck off 2 weeks ago I had a list of issues I wanted to be addressed. Recalls, Sound when letting off gas (TSB 18-2354), Dash installed incorrectly, Chirping sound at idle, and my Panoramic roof rattling.
The recalls were done, the dash was fixed and my Pano roof was fixed. They had to order parts for the truck for the rattle and noted that the engine *chirping* was attributed to the problem causing the decel rattle.
Fast forward two weeks, my dealership jumped through hoops and went right down the rabbit hole to fix the engine chirp.
Let me say that when I dropped off the truck 2 weeks ago I only mentioned it, to mention it. That was last on my list of things I needed done. My priority was the decel rattle.
After driving to the dealership ship to pick up the truck, drove out of the lot and heard the rattle. On the plus side the engine chirp is 100% gone (another thing I didn’t think was possible). Drove the truck back to the dealership and took the tech out for a ride to show him exactly what I needed. He acknowledged the sound. We went back in and he ordered parts for the rattle, which he said he has encountered before and can fix.
So so that’s where I am at. Truck is back at the shop for another night, but one more thing has been checked off the list.
list of work completed and parts needed to end the dreaded “engine chirp on 18 5.0

Wow, that really is a bummer. At least they are taking care if you. When I bought my 17 5.0, I had secretly wished I had waited for the 18 5.0, due to the extra HP. After all these threads about rattles with them, I am glad I got the 17 5.0 with the 6 speed.

It’s mainly the accel/decel rattle that’s frustrating. If we can get that fixed, truck would be amazing. Everything else on my list is/was superficial. Now that that’s been said, seems like an obvious time to point out how amazing the extra 10Hp, 13 ft lbs, and 4 extra gears feel when I hit the go pedal.
Just got off the phone with the dealership again.
Service rep mentioned that they were not happy to do only the TSB-18-2354, continued to change the driver's hub actuator. Told the rep again to let the truck sit out in the cold for some time and re-test in a few hours. Im not thrilled with the fact that they keep changing parts on my truck as it sits just over 10K km, but trust the hands working on my truck **at this dealership**. They've had our business for dozens of trucks and always treated me well. Hoping for the best when I go in later today to pick up, and return this horrible, horrible Edge.
