Why does my Ford Focus make a rattling sound when I accelerate?

I recently noticed a rattling sound coming from my Ford Focus whenever I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the engine area. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It could be due to a loose heat shield or exhaust component. You should have a mechanic check it as soon as possible.

This could be a sign of a failing transmission. It's important to take care of it before it gets worse.

Make sure to check your oil levels and listen for any unusual engine noises. If the problem persists, make a visit to your local Ford dealership.
