Did you ever find out what the issue is? My 2013 Ford Escape Titanium (139K km, 87K miles) is doing the same thing. It makes a rumbling/rattling sound when I accelerate (idle is fine) and it doesn’t go away until I coast, brake, or stop at a red light. Ford dealer tech thought (just by listening to it) that it might be the tranny, which I had a shop rebuild in 2020 (rather than paying $6K for a new one).
