olddude#1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 My edge presents me what I call a rumble through steering wheel when start to drive and will continue roughly until you get to about 60 mph and it reduces but remains. My local mechanic thought it may be the flex plate based on forum info but recommended I Take it to a transmission specialist. Took it to a transmission specialist and he was sure it was not the flex plate after lengthy road test. he said tranny change perfectly and motor performed perfectly. Took it to my Ford dealer they preformed a diagnostic and road test and concluded it was not the flex plate or torque converter and supported the finding of the tranny specialist. At 60 mph car in neutral rumble decreases but when accelerator is pressed the rumble return. At 60 mph car in neutral and the ignition turned off there is not a rumble and know steering noises or other audible sounds. Ford dealer suggest the problem could be motor mount or mounts but could or would not say that this would resolve the issue. Looking for help or recommendations before I make a large financial investment Thanks Help Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Moderators, please move to appropriate subforum How many miles on your Edge? Have you pulled codes in the computer (or had a service shop/auto parts store do it)? I assume you have had wheel alignment and tires checked? Those are the most common reasons why you would hear noises generated by the vehicle. If the motor mounts were at fault, I'd expect to hear/feel a clunk of some sort as the engine/transmission flexes back & forth (on acceleration/deceleration). Next, are all the fluids in good condition and at the full mark (engine, transmission, power steering, brakes etc)? When was the last service date/what is the service history? Finally, it's possible you are feeling misfires happening in the engine. Which most likely would be worn out spark plugs. Have these been replaced at all? It's possible the coils are also at fault (one or more). An infrequent, but possible issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 On an off chance you could rotate the front tires to the rear and vice versa. Then see if the rumble changes. If so you could have a set of tires that are bad. Also check the tires for cupping. If they are worn poorly then your front struts may be worn out or your rear shocks depending on the tire wear. I have had multiple tire wear and noise issues due to shocks and struts. Also the type of tire will also make a difference with rumbling noise for example snow tires in the summer. Snow tires make a terrible rumble noise so check the type of tire on your Edge. Basically if it is not an engine or transmission issue then you have a suspension issue. A lot of parts are moving around trying to work together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
