Aaron Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oct 25 2013 4232 -2013 C-MAX / 2013-2014 Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi - Powertrain Clunk/Whine - Bonus Bolt In Engine Mount Some 2013 C-MAX and 2013-2014 Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi vehicles may exhibit a tactile vibration or clunking/thumping noise when braking or when tipping in or out of the throttle, or a powertrain/transaxle whine primarily when braking. This may be caused by a foreign object such as a nut or bolt lodged in one of the powertrain mounts causing a ground out condition to the body - either the RH engine mount or the LH transmission mount. To access the LH engine transmission mount, remove the 7B012 Secondary On Board Diagnostic Module (SOBDMC) and the upper half of the mount in order to inspect for this foreign object and possible grounding condition. The choice of words made me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I was thinking the same thing, quite a slice of sheer eloquent awesomeness. Bill Shakespeare would be proud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
