Wonder that the root cause is? Faulty parts/manufacturing, or something done during break-in that causes it?told u guys.. its bearing related.
This knock was the biggest reason I dumped mine. The dealer refused to acknowledge that it existed.^ enough for me to dump this car. Mines not that bad but you mentioning its worse with the AC on is exactly my dilema. Too bad, car shopping next week!
Take it to the dealer and get the issue documented. That was my symptoms too. I could only hear it next to buildings and curbs. It sounded like metal going through heat cycles. It was definitely coming from the bottom of the car right around the oil pan area, however I can't rule out exhaust flex pipe fittings.I am not sure if my car is in the same situation here. I just noticed lately that there is tick (clanking) noise coming from under my car while driving. This happens when I drive with very slow speed when I press the gas pedal. There is no noise while idling. And it seems like this happens only with the cold start. I cannot hear the noise when the windows are closed. But I can hear it clearly when I drive in the garage or next to the wall/building.
I changed the oil (Mobile one extended performance 5W-20) about 4000 miles ago. The noise is similar to the ones on the videos posted in this thread, but it is not constant tick sounds. The mods I have done to my car are Magnaflow street catback and drop-in green filter. No tune.
Should I change the oil to 5W-30 and see what will happen? Or should I just take my car to a dealership?
Thanks for the reply. Were you able to fix the problem? Or you are still hearing it?Take it to the dealer and get the issue documented. That was my symptoms too.

The reason I don't think it was exhaust related is because mine started after an oil change as well. I honestly think that it was the bearings. The dealer never acknowledged that there was a problem. Only the tech who I spoke to initially said he heard it. Then later that day, they said there was no noise.
It was like a coverup or something.
I actually traded the car in after the dealership experience. Not to derail the thread, but my car was in the shop getting re-painted under warranty 4 times. They couldn't fix any of my problems and I was getting fed up with the ticking.Thanks for the reply. Were you able to fix the problem? Or you are still hearing it?
I'm sorry to hear that... I had an ecoboost Mustang before and the engine blew. Now I have GT. Hope the problem my car has is fixable...I actually traded the car in after the dealership experience.

Yea mine also sounded like that but maybe a tad less severe. It was definitely heartbreaking to have my 14k mile car sound like a clunker.My only mods are axlebacks, catch can and drop in air filter. The stake through the heart was Oscifer’s video. My sound is identical to his video.
The problem is that even if you had a mild tune on it, you've given them the absolute cause to void your warranty. Go and prove it was doing it before the tune.The fix is a new short block
