The flex plate cracked and sounded like a piston was coming through the block. One shop told me I needed a new motor. I took it to the dealer and it was a cracked flex plate. If the car was made at a certain factory it was fully covered. Of course my car was not built in that certain factory so ford did absolutely nothing for me.
After they fixed it, it happened again about a year later. The original cost for the 1st go around was $4,000. the second round it was only $2000 because the flex plate had cracked again within the year they fixed it. Never in my life have I heard of a flex plate cracking! I believe it was from the auto start and cut off when you stop the car at a light but who knows. The only way I knew what it was, from a video on youtube showing the same sound my car was making.
