While cruising in your 2017 Ford Escape on the highway, you suddenly hear a loud clunking or grinding noise coming from either the engine compartment or the underside of your vehicle. The most likely culprit for this issue is a faulty differential. This component in your car is responsible for detecting any imbalance in the vehicle, causing the wheels to spin at different speeds. As a result, the car may start to rock and produce knocking sounds. If the differential is malfunctioning, it will have to be swapped out, with the cost ranging from $198 to $584 for a replacement unit.
