Right-front wheel bearing was making a little noise on slow turns but was otherwise unnoticed. Replaced both tie-rod ends, + front discs and pads.Ĭracked wheel bearing made a grinding noise when making turns. This would have been very,very bad had it been 10 minutes earlier. Mechanic replaced the coil spring and both front struts. Passenger-side coil spring failed while vehicle was parked, a few minutes after I drove it home. Took to dealer they determined that both of the rear shocks were leaking. Rear suspension would 'bottom out' on almost any sized bump. The car had to be taken in several times for them to diagnose and fix the problem, also the dealership caused a problem while fixing the first issue Replaced whole strut/spring assembly for ease of repair and cost.Įlectric steering rack failed, needed replacement.īearings replaced - took to shop some months prior but mechanic didn't hear the noise so no action. Very expensive repair and known trouble by Ford but they refuse to accept responsibility.īoth sides have tie rods with excessive play in them.Ĭracked spring on left front. This time they say the rack and pinion is gone and needs replacing. Power assist steering went out again, 22 days since the same trouble was repaired. Problem detected when I saw lubrication fluid spots under car while parked in my driveway.ĭriver side front axle seal gone and leaking fluid. Would have been $2,400 if the extended warranty hadn't paid.

To replace sensor needed to replace steering gear. After upper strut mounts were replaced, the noise was still present. Submitted the information to Ford customer service and they agreed to split the cost of repairs.įront upper shut mounts were making noise when the wheel was turned in parking lot maneuvers. (bushings are press-fit into the arms, and cannot be replaced separately)ĭealer diagnosed noise as faulty steering gear, related to recall 15N01, but no DTC codes present, so not directly covered. Got car back and issue returned in a day.īoth lower control arms replaced due to worn bushings. Dealer reproduced at first but nothing found when inspecting the suspension, but later could not reproduce noise at all. Clunk from left front when hitting dip in road while turning and braking.
