2001 Ford Focus 127,000 miles Seems to have this noise in reverse especially when the engine is cold. When I step on the brake to put the car in reverse the car kind of groans and has a slight vibration. When I take the foot off the brake and start rolling it seems to lessen some. When it starts to warm up it is not nearly as apparent. I did have codes read and nothing electronic was indicated. I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks!

As goiserclause just said check exhaust. I'll add that in reverse engine is torqueing the opposite way and exhaust does move and needs to tolerate that to a point in either direction. Heat shields, flex pipes and even motor mounts can make it worse if weak or failing, T
