Phatman Posted March 9, 2014 at 07:38 PM Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 at 07:38 PM Hey all. You have been so helpful in the past so I'm coming to you again for a question/concern. I've been noticing that my 2013 Energi is making a creaking noise on acceleration from a stop position. It sounds like the chassis or suspension. I hear it everytime on acceleration, but some time on breaking or more like releasing the brakes. I've heard this similar noise on my 8 year-old minivan. It's a little concerning hearing this noise on a less than a year old car. Any thoughts would be aprreciated. I would think this is still covered under warranty. Should I take this in to be looked at? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted March 9, 2014 at 08:43 PM Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 at 08:43 PM Is it possible that the sound is a ping or popping sound? Is your car an early production car? I had this issue too, but was solved by this TSB: http://www.fordfusionenergiforum.com/topic/1248-collection-of-tsbs-related-to-energi/?p=7081 Phatman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatman Posted March 9, 2014 at 09:48 PM Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 at 09:48 PM Yes! That is it. How do I check the built of my car? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatman Posted March 9, 2014 at 10:10 PM Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 at 10:10 PM I found the build date for my car. It is 6/14/2013. So not the answer you posted but it's the same exact symptoms described. It's more like the left backside of the car. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. It looks like I should take it in to have the dealers mechanic look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted March 9, 2014 at 11:53 PM Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 at 11:53 PM I think you are correct, they have already applied that particular fix to your car. However, the dealer will probably be able to track it down. Please let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've got an appointment set up, PM me your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and dealer info, and I'll take a look. Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
