4236 mi | hard to control front end especially over bumps. Went to dealer and found front stabilzer bar and links failed (I think the bushings they were rotted) and replaced under warranty |
81299 mi | Wheel bearing needed to be replaced as it was making a very loud howling noise at almost all speeds over 25. Not sure if bearing failed due to age or because of driving on pothole NYC roads most of the cars life. Clunking noise over bumps in rear and seemed like when hitting bumps at highway speed car would take longer to rock back and forth longer than normal. Tech found leaky rear shock. Replaced and corrected issue. Creaking noise in front end. Tech said front lower control arms were issue. Replaced and corrected issue. Ford had several newer versions of the control arms since 2011 original ones since this apparently is a common issue. Mine really didn't start making noise until recently around 80k miles luckily. |
