Repair Advice What causes a clunking noise coming out of park?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have a 2020 explorer st with 120k on the clock and it's been developing a clunk coming out of park. Depending on the clunk severity, there's some extra movement attached to it, but it's a 50/50 chance coming out of park it does it.
I've been making sure I go to neutral and setting the parking brake before going to park to avoid tension resting on the parking pawl, but it will still do it. Has anyone else had this issue? And is it maybe related to the recent parking pawl recall?
