Grinding feel from the rear end resulted in a replaced and updated complete rear end from ford. Still have very loud whining noise when automatic transmission is in first gear. Dealer says this is normal and I have to get use to it. Also have noticable thumping from transmission and drive shaft area when between 30 and 50 MPH. Dealer has verified noise and is considering a new drive shaft. Car is new and has less than 3000 miles.

The consumer was taking off from a stop when he noticed that the vehicle wouldn't go higher than 28 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. *ak *sc
