NHTSA Complaint #10875733 — 2012 FORD FUSION

FOR ALMOST A YEAR MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A POPPING CREAKING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS (20 OR BELOW). IT STARTED VERY QUIETLY AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS STEMS FROM SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 06-24-07. THIS ADVISORY WAS ORIGINALLY JUST FOR 2006 MODELS. HOWEVER, IT IS AFFECTING MY 2012. IT HAS AFFECTED 2007, 2008, AND 2009 AS WELL. THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CONTROL ARMS COULD BREAK AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL CAR ACCIDENT THAT MAY INCLUDE DEATH. THIS ONGOING ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL SINCE FORD DOES NOT WANT TO COVER COST OF REPAIR TO THEIR ONGOING STEERING ISSUE.
