Consumer Description

ALLDATA.COM AND OTHER SITES SHOW A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE YEAR/MODEL FOR THE FRONT SWAY BAR. HOWEVER, UPON NUMEROUS REQUESTS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT SAID DEALER, THEY SAY IT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. BUT, OUR VEHICLE'S SWAY BAR HAS BEEN MAKING A POPPING/SQUEEKING NOISE ALMOST SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. WE WANT FORD TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT, BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. *AK
