“Hearing a coins in a can sound coming from the car as you are driving it. Found out it to be the power transfer unit. In doing some research on this, it looks like there are thousands of people who have complained and reported this same issue. I would like to know why there wasn't a recall created for this issue and replacement as this is a costly $2000 part. Not cost effective for our cars that are older and aren't worth but $5000 maybe.”

NHTSA complaint #11090250, filed 2018-04, 197,000 miles“I was driving up hill at 40mph, I first noticed my rpms dropping, then my speed. Came home and called dealership, as my vehicle is under warranty, car was towed to fairfield Ford. They called later to tell me it was the throttle body assembly and he took it apart and cleaned it.
