“Premature lower balljoint failure. Driver and passenger sides. While driving forward or reverse and turning right or left or when braking you would hear popping and tire rubbing something underneath. Vehicle had only 55,000 miles displayed on the odometer. This occurred at when van was in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #11382903, filed 2020-12, 55 miles“This vehicle, a 2011 E-150 Ford van wagon.

Any slight adjustments by driver, especially at 70 MPH, creates sway conducive to rollover. It seems as if the power assist interferes with driver's control of steering wheel. At higher speeds, over-steer is created and when the driver makes a correction, a swaying effect is created. …”
