#1 of 4 09 Ford Edge Front end Creaking noises by banjoplayer Aug 12, 2009 (3:10 pm)
Bought my 09 Ford Edge 2 months ago. After just 1000 miles, the front end started making clunking and creaking noises (like an old bedspring) when going over uneven surfaces or turning a hard left or right especially into a driving into a curve. Took the car back to dealership and they removed the struts and replaced both the left and right side bearing plates (brackets). The clunking noise quit but the creaking noises are as bad as ever. Anyone else have this problem? Car is going back into shop next week and am hoping someone else can help out with this complaint. Replies to this message: dc2ny (Aug 31, 2009 7:49 am)
#2 of 4 Frotn-end clunks by cmarcus Aug 12, 2009 (8:07 pm)
I have an '07 Edge. Front end clunks. So did many of the other '07's and '08's the dealer drove over the same pothole in his driveway. Ford HQ dealer rep drove my car. Gave me the "it's normal...we don't have a fix" story. Left front strut replaced, link to stabilizer bar...way back. Still clunked. Recently, dealer though he had isolated it to steering rack. Replaced. Sounded like a Lexus until the right front, then the left front hit the right kind of depression and rise (e.g. for a manhole cover). I don't think there is a fix. Just keep the paper trail running at your dealer's in case it ever affects steering and handling. Cubby Replies to this message: banjoplayer (Aug 13, 2009 11:02 am)

Replying to: cmarcus (Aug 12, 2009 8:07 pm) I paid $30,000 for a car that sounds like a 15 year old junker and there is no solution??? I owned Nissan and Toyota for years but thought that I would do the American thing this time and I am regretting it very much at the moment. Love the car otherwise, just hate all the creaking and clunking noises.

Replying to: banjoplayer (Aug 12, 2009 3:10 pm) I had a similar sound to what you are speaking of. I have a 2007 Edge SEL and after purchasing mine after about 2 to 3 weeks I started hearing squeaking noises. I didn't know if it was coming from the front or the back. It would make that sound after I would come to a stop, pull off, turn left or turn right. It sounded really bad when my music was off and I was driving quiet. I took it immediately to the dealer to give them this car back and they took it for a couple of days and drove it and couldn't hear or find anything. I went back to get it and started to push the car back and forth while the Rep was sitting inside and then he heard it for himself. They kept it for a few more days and realized that it was the mechanism inside the gas tank that keeps us from hearing the gasoline swish back and forth while we're driving. That mechanism was loose and was causing the noise I was hearing. They replaced my gas tank and I have had no issues since. Hope this can help!
