when turning i heard a loud pop and a spring unwinding.

Asked by hribar Feb 11, 2020 at 12:43 PM about the 2018 Ford Edge Titanium AWD

Question type: General

i was turning left when i heard a loud pop and then a sound like a spring unwinding.  it was a high pitch sound that did go away after just seconds.  i was momentarily hesitant about continuing to drive but needed to get out of the intersection.  i went directly to my ford dealership and told them what i heard.  just yesterday a man with a ford truck was at the dealership describing the same exact thing happening to him.  anyone have any thought?  the service person asked a mechanic and he thought it could be the traction device working but i was on dry roads.

after inspecting the underside of the suv and test driving it, the end result was the ford garage is ordering a new rear differential for the edge. there is a service bulletin out on the problem although they have only been seeing it in the smaller fords.

The symptoms described do NOT sound like a differential! Spring unwinding sound while turning can only be spring related. Differentials use gears and those wouldn't make a "spring like sound". I'm sure it has to do with the strut assembly.
