Has anyone else heard and/or know what might cause this 1 second creaking sound right at acceleration? Sorry for the poor video but this is me feathering the accelerator a few times in a row at a crawl speed almost letting it come to a stop. I can hear it in both forward and reverse.

Hi there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.

Looking forward to what the service department finds.
I’m probably going to wait until after New Year’s to bring it in. Don’t want to spoil my Christmas cheer with having to drive a gas loaner while it’s at the dealer for the Holidays.

I don't recall a report from Christopher on this, but possibly one of his YouTube videos will cover it.

IIRC, he returned the 2022 for issues (buy-back / Lemon) not sure, then got into a 2025.

So looking back at my buyback video I had my accelerator pedal, front driver side shock absorber and front wheel assembly hardware replaced but I didn’t note exactly what hardware it was. I am almost positive it was the shock absorber however that was making that sound.
