I actually discussed replacing caliper and pads with the dealer’s service manager who also has a new MME. He said “I don’t think that will fix the problem. If it did, it won’t last and the problem will come back.” This implies something else is at play.

I respect your knowledge of the car. But a fully pressed brake pedal should hold the car with imperceptible movement. The fact that the movement can be observed standing 3 feet away means the brake is not holding as it should. I don’t believe dealer would go through the trouble of removing...

Yes, pad material does makes the difference in noise level. The issue is not noise. The issue is rotors spin and rub against pads. The rear wheels actually lift / tilt. Suspension role is to balance weight shifts to ensure proper tire contact with the road. Not having proper tire contact allows...

Some brake pad noise is normal on older cars with worn out pads or warp rotors. But continuous clunking noise is not normal - especially on new car. I’ve road tested 2 new vehicles with mechanics and mine is new. Test drove other new EVs (Tesla, Hyundai, & VW) - no issue. The noise from stop...

The turning of steering wheel creates weight shifts. Suspension role is to balance the weight shift to ensure proper tire contact with road. The turning is causing the rear wheels to lift/tilt, allowing wheels to move and cheap brake calipers can barely squeeze the pads hard enough against...

I’ve believe the noise you heard is part of a big problem Ford can’t fix. Mine has been to 3 dealers and 4 repair attempts. Stop at a 5 to 10 degree slope. While stopped, in drive gear, parking brake disengaged, turn steering wheel all the left then to the right, you will hear clunking noise...

Hi, The noise is more noticeable on slopes 10degree. Test your car on steering and noise on the slope. In California 2 failed attempts for problems regarding safety otherwise 4 failed attempts. There were 3 occasions where it pull to one side while driving straight. The problem started on day...

Hi Joeync2018, My 24 MME is at the dealer shop for 2nd times now. On mine the clunking is when turning steering wheel and the rear wheels trying to lift up or tilt. The movements can be felt and clunk can be heard right above the wheels. I also stopped the car with regeneration brake (no brake...

You’re 100% right. Reviewing the video carefully shows that the clunking is caused by steering wheel being turned and car is completely stopped. Checked and confirmed it on my driveway. Could be ball joint or suspension issue. Taking it back to dealer this week.

Hi Mack, Thanks for your reply. The case is being review by Ford Motor. You could very well be right that it’s brake noise. Even then, it’s an unacceptable brake noise level. For safety reason, all car manufacturers set 70 decibels sound level as acceptable and only 1 in 10 brakings can the...

Hi John, Thank you for the reply. My neighbor right across the street from me has MME also. His does not make these clunking noise. So is my other neighbor’s MME down a few blocks. It makes the same noises on an incline of 5% incline. My dealership initially stated they were going to order the...

Thank you!

Hi Mock Lee, Thank you. Appreciate your insightful reply. My street is about 10 degree incline. The car makes the noise even on a 3-5 degrees. Does that seems normal?

Thank you for your insight. I feel more reassuring reading your reply.

Thank you
