Test drove customers vehicle and confirmed the customers concern with the brakes making a bad noise, we found the rear brakes to be at a 0mm and the rear rotors are damaged due to the metal on metal status. Also found the oil change to be due in 500 miles. Customer declined the oil change but approved the brakes at this time.

Inspected and verified transmission shudder, fluid color and level good, Scan tool monitor showed tcm commanding gear at correct times and no spec out of range, bi directional shift still shuddering under medium load, research found bulletin from ford recommending update program and retesting, then replacing tcm if needed, from our experience the program helps but transmission may already have internal mechanical damage.

Inspected and found engine slightly louder. There is a oil leak coming from valve cover gasket and vacuum pump. This is causing the burning smell when it drips on exhaust. Recommend replacing both. The lower engine strut mount is bad and can cause some extra noise when conditions are right. Usually, start up when the rpms are higher. Also found a heat shield touching the exhaust. Test drove after the mount was replaced and found there was some slight lack of power under harder acceleration. Turbo functioning correctly but either the wastegate is sticking or the regulating valve solenoid is not functioning. Performed and test and found that the wastegate is good but the solenoid will intermittently not function as it should. This is intermittent as the next drive it functioned with no problem at all. This could as cause the engine to make a louder sound when failing. Recommend regulating valve solenoid to correct concern. Notes; Engine air filter appears to be wrong. The filter cover screws are stripped/broken and this indicates the filter was forcibly installed. Also found coolant on the top right engine mount. Coolant reservoir cracked/leaking.
Replaced valve cover gasket and cleaned the area. Checked for leaks.
Replaced lower engine torque mount with new.
Replaced coolant reservoir with new. Filled with coolant and tested for leaks. None found.

Inspection found the right front wheel bearing to be bad and may have damaged the vac hub for the 4X4 once the wheel hub is replaced we will know. Found the right front brake rotors and pads are in need of replacement as well. The front struts are likely bad as well will need to checked when the wheel bearing is replaced. Also found a few oil leaks which would need to be checked out. Inspection found that both CV axles have lost their boots and the grease is gone and wearing out the axles. Also found the upper and lower ball joint boots are ripped and or missing causing the ball joints to be dry. Customer declined replacing the ball joints and tie rod ends and front brakes at this time.
Replace passenger front wheel bearing.
