![]() ![]() Stopped again and put some gas in, got back in and the sound was gone. But when I came out of the grocery store and got back into the vehicle and started it up, by the time I got to the lights about a block away, I could hear the sound again (note that the AC was still completely off - wasn't used at all today). I thought to myself, well - the sound is gone. So today, I had to make a stop at the grocery store and heard no strange sounds whatsoever coming from the dashboard on the way down to the grocery store. ![]() I didn’t drive it for a couple of days thinking the sound would probably just go away. Got back into the vehicle and the sound started up again and then just went away on its own. It’s a minor annoyance but I’m wondering what it is. It’s important to note that this sound happens when the AC is completely off. Sort of like the sound you hear when a vent closes after the heat or AC has been turned off. Not a quick repeating sound but more of a tap once half every second or so. It’s very hard to describe, almost more like a very soft and quiet light tapping sound (if the radio or an MP3 was playing at a quiet volume, you'd never hear it). It’s almost like a ticking sound but not really a tick. Came out and started the vehicle up and by the time I got down to the end of the block, I could hear this strange sound coming from in behind the dashboard, almost in the center of the dashboard above the shifter/console. We went to a gardening store, parked out front. The AC worked perfectly, no strange sounds coming from under the hood, no leaks, no belt noises, no problems whatsoever. We had to run some errands a couple of days ago and it’s been brutally hot here so we got in the vehicle and turned the AC on. The heating system in the vehicle has always worked amazingly well during the colder months here in Vancouver. So obviously, we don’t use the AC that much. We really don’t drive that much, we’re so close to everything and walk everywhere. still use Mobil 1 and oil looks great.I found a similar post somewhere in this forum but the question/problem didn’t really seem to be solved. Still love the vehicle, rides like new with the repairs of the tie end links. The right rear wheel bearings went on me over the summer but that was fixed also. Had to replace the gas tank on recall and the now the airbag was recalled as part of Takata. UPDATE - had to replace both tie links in the front as they were worn and thats where the clanking was coming from. the oil still looks good after 6000 miles! the front end seems to be riding hard as of late but it may need some gas struts replaced, most of my miles are city driving and joy riding I also change the oil every 6000 miles with full synthetic mobil 1. i changed the … transmission oil at 50000 miles just to be safe. other than that its been basic maintenance on the vehicle. the rear tail lights burn out unusually fast, should have a recall on this. Knock on wood i've had very little problems with the vehicle, mechanically or electronically. Bought my Edge at the beginning of 2009, was a demo with 9000 miles, to this date i just went over 61000 miles. ![]()
