After a road trip, it became more and more apparent on the freeway. Once I took the vehicle in, the tech mentioned that Ford would be announcing a recall for this issue in the coming months because they’ve been having so many sports come in with the same issue.
Taking my FE in tomorrow for a faulty driveshaft replacement.
Apparently there is a recall coming out soon for this very issue in case anyone else is starting to experience similar symptoms. Anytime hitting the gas (most notably on an incline) the entire vehicle shakes & rattles.

VERY jealous of this setup! Curious about your typical MPG? Guessing you get a little help being at elevation in Denver.
Will be up in Lafayette & Estes Park in September, hope to see you on the trails!
My entire rear cargo area siding is scratched and ripped up from the dog, trips to Lowe’s, etc. seems like it’s just a cheap, blue styrofoam that is lining the left and right wheel wells and it rips/scratches very easily.

I have had friends, in laws, etc all sit in the back seat, all of which are over 6 foot. No issues with fitting. It’s more along the lines of what you referenced, the angle of the seats.

So I did a little test today.. I had a 4door Focus SEL hatchback prior to the Bronco Sport, which a friend still has. Absolutely no issue getting the seat in/out and there is tons of room between the back of the passenger seat and the car seat.
I guess there is a reason you never see a child...
Have a friend back in Michigan who had something similar happen (their son put some coins in there!) they took their badlands to the dealership and were in and out within an hour.
I see you’re in the Coachella Valley, taking to PS Motors or Fiesta Ford should hopefully be a “quick” fix...
Hey All!
Absolutely LOVING my FE still, received my order late December 2020.
Finally encountered our first “issue” when trying to install our Doona convertible car seat & base for our newborn in the back seat.
Installation was easy for the backseat clips, but in order to completely fit the...
Painted Canyon in Mecca, CA.
The Sand GOAT Mode was definitely required. Watched a Jeep Compass Trailhawk get stuck in the sand ruts directly behind me after I went through with no issue..
