“Squeaking noise coming from front axle (mostly on driver side) while driving and turning; sounds the most when outside temperature is higher (not so loud on cool days). Took it to dealer that sold the car (today 04/25/2016) to have suspension and power steering checked. I see online there are recalls on some Ford Fusion power steering? My VIN is not listed.”

NHTSA complaint #11111512, filed 2018-07, 136,546 miles“When I turn or go over bumps the car makes a loud squeeking/grinding noise. This started to occur after my power steering assist was replaced a month ago. Several reviews also state this is a very expensive fix. My car only has 60k miles on it for a 2011. This is completely unacceptable!”

So I had it inspected and was told that the lower control arms on my passenger side where both damaged and in need of replacement but that my vehicle was much to new for these parts to have worn out . It will cost me $645 to repair!”
