Consumer Description

CAR HAS BEEN MAKING LOUD "POP" SOUNDS WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT. THE SOUND IS NOT CONTINUOUS. IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 2-3 WEEKS. CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITHIN ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO. IT CAME TO COMPLETE HALT WHILE TURNING IN MY DRIVEWAY ON MAY 10TH 2008. TOWED CAR TO FIRESTONE SUNDAY MAY 11TH AND ON MONDAY MAY 12TH WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANY SOUNDS WHEN DRIVEN AND COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG FROM INSPECTION. KNOCKING SOUNDS COULD POSSIBLY MEAN TRANSMISSION. MY CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME FROM FIRESTONE BY MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WHO ALSO DID NOT HEAR ANY SOUNDS. SOUNDS OCCUR RANDOMLY WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT. ON WEDNESDAY MAY 14TH MY BROTHER WHO WORKS AT A FORD DEALERSHIP DROVE IT TO WORK FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY TOO CAN SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM VERY FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE THIS CAR FAIRING THE WORST IS YET TO COME. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON APRIL 22ND 2008. *TR
