Dropping a Ping Pong ball out the window.

[Moat]

I have has my FFH for 4 weeks. A few days ago I started hearing a sound that sounds exactly like dropping a ping pong ball. It happens while accelerating, braking, coasting, turning doesn't really matter.

Took it to dealer and had the maintenance manger take a ride and he heard it right away. They took it in the shop and could reproduce the sound but could not figure out where it's coming from.

They checked the Ford site but couldn't find anything. Bringing it in on Friday.

Anyone else hearing Ping pong balls?

There are several threads here about this, look for "cracking noise" and you'll find them. There's even a poll. Lots are having the same issue. Someone posted recently that they believe there may be a fix coming soon for this, but until it happens I am waiting before taking mine in.

Ford is aware of the issue as a number of us have Hotline Assistance cases open. Ford engineers are working on a permanent fix and, once released, we'll all be able to get our cars taken care of. There is a post from earlier today that someone indicates a fix is available but it is not yet confirmed by anyone at their dealer.

Fix has been found and TSB issued. See threads above for more information
