I haven't had any sticking just the slip twice and the code going off twice. I hope my new damper doesn't stick! Truck seems to be working fine now so I almost don't want them to replace it but not sure it's good to not follow their recommendation.
There is definitely a design issue. Not sure why Ford doesn't reengineer this. If it is rattling that's not a good sign. Maybe get it checked while under warranty.

Took the Maverick on a long distance drive and while trying to accelerate fast while passing a car, noticed that the check engine light came on accompanied by some power loss. It was almost as if the engine wouldn't downshift to gain speed. Almost caused...
