Every now and then when I come to a stop or begin to accelerate, I will hear a "whoop" sound. Sometimes I hear a "stomach" growling sound or low moan sound. All sounds come from the back end of the car. It almost sounds like trapped air is escaping but the sound is lower in pitch (not a hissing sound.) The service rep said they drove it but did not hear anything and to bring it back when is does make the sound. Since it doesn't do it on a regular basis, it's going to be hard to diagnose. I'm glad my doctor doesn't ask me to keep coming back! I took a chance on buying a Ford given their financial problems. I hope their service comes through or they won't stand a chance. Next time, I may need to go back to my reliable Honda.

I thought I was going mad! Strange whooping noise (almost like an alarm sounding) would happen when I was driving. Nothing particular set it off or made it better/worse. Seemed to clear up on it's own, although I have had the vehicle serviced for a dozen other things and one of those repairs could have done the trick.
