Hey! I've had my MME/Venus since April & no problems until yesterday & today.
1. The drive modes were very slow to change yesterday &/or wouldn't engage but Venus drove fine.
2. As I drove down the driveway today, there was a clunking sound. I believe it was on the front passenger side. There was a crazy amount of rain yesterday but Venus was fine. Yes, it has been very humid. There was "rust" on the calipers/behind the wheel covers. I drove a little down the street but the clunk kept going. I took it out of one pedal drive - which I normally use - & applied the brakes many times & the "rust" looks less but the clunk is still there. Freaked out, I turned around & went back to the house.
3. When I took Venus out of reverse, the backup camera had to be stopped manually as I got a freaky look from the rear while driving forward.
Any thoughts as I don't think I should drive Venus & the dealer has a 2 week wait to get in? Is this a tow situation?
I really appreciate the efforts of all the MME people with their suggestions & sense of humor! Thank you in advance :)

UPDATE!
Ford roadside sent a flatbed & Venus was taken to the dealer.
The dealer said there was an ”unidentifiable object” caught in the brake pad on the front driver side. Once it was removed, the drive modes & screen were back to normal!
