    Goodwill refund from dealer?

    I have 2014 XLT with 2.0 Ecoboost that has 5000 miles on it. Sometimes if I step on the gas pretty good for a few seconds and then let up quickly there is a 1 to 2 second rattle from the engine compartment. Anyone else heard this noise and is this possibly a "normal" noise from the turbo...
