NHTSA Complaint #11282524 — 2011 FORD FUSION

2011 FORD FUSION OWNER: POSSIBLE WELD ISSUES ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS CAUSING THE NOISE CONCERNS AND REQUIRE REPAIR FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS FROM MANUFACTURER. IT MAY BE THE JOUNCE BUMPER RUBBING AGAINST DRY STRUT PLATE CAUSING AN ABRASION NOISE FROM THE STRUT AREA - BIG ASSUMPTION HERE. NOISE HAPPENS IN WARMER MONTHS OVER 50 DEGREES AND GETS QUIET ON COLDER DAYS. IT ALSO GET QUIETER DRIVING OVER 60 MPH. WHATEVER IT IS, THE SWOLLEN PARTS ARE EXTREMELY NOISY, EXTREMELY, AND CONCERNING. FROM RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE MAYBE HAPPENING TO 2006-2015 FORD FUSION VEHICLES. A FEW HUNDRED FUSION OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED HERE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE: HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/SQUEAKS-AND-CREAKS-OVER-BUMPS-AND-TURNING-235. IT IS COSTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR OWNERS TO ATTEMPT A FIX WITH NO RESULTS. I AM WRITING AS I WOULD LIKE RESULTS AFTER OWNING MY CAR 2 YEARS WITH THIS HORRIBLE CONDITION TAKING PLACE. THIS IS WORTH A RECALL. THANK YOU.
