falciott Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hey everyone, I just got my TC about 3 weeks ago, XLT , Nokia bluetooth, remote start, back up sensors, the works...and so far I am pulling about 22 mpg mixed driving, and the car has 1600 miles . I really like this ugly little thing, but here is my question: has anyone ever heard a clunk/thump type of sound coming from the front? It has happened a few times recently, I drive the car, put it in park, hand brake engaged, shut off the engine, and when I come back after a few minutes, and I start it up, i hear a thump " almost as if someone kinda tapped the undercarriage with a baseball bat. The sound comes from the front, and only does it once, while it's still in park, no brakes applied or gas pedal. Usually it doesn't do it while cold, but after I've driven it, and parked for a few minutes. For the life of me, I can't figure out what it is, anyone out there with the perplexing issue as well?

madlock Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Nope. Not since I backed-off my mother-in-law anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceej Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Is the AC or Defrost on when it does this? I've heard a good thump when the Compressor engages on some late model Fords. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isellford Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 That is perplexing. Next time you shut vehicle off, make sure AC is off as well and see if that is the problem. Good luck with your TC and welcome tothe boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falciott Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 That's interesting, I do have the AC on, but if indeed it is the AC, that'd be the first time I heard that type of noise when the compressor engages. It's actually hard to duplicate that noise, as it only happens sporadically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
