“Rivertown Ford has claimed to inspect the rear toelink and could not have considering I've felt the rear end trailing from time to time and noticed upon inspection deployed by myself visually that the driver side toelink had been cracking. When I notified Ford by phone the dealership at that time brushed me off when I finally talked them into at least doing a multi point inspection that I paid for they claimed they hadn't noticed anything. They then and since then refuse to even look at the suspension without a 300$ fee. …”
NHTSA complaint #11398663, filed 2021-03, 90,000 miles“Vehicle keeps slipping and making clunking noises when going down the highway. I didn't have this issue until a month ago and it seems to be getting worse. The guy at belle tire said the rack is a common issue with Ford Taurus'. Trying to keep away from bump and turns but I have a lot when driving in grand rapids. I've almost hit cars because it randomly pulls me in one direction. Vehicle is only moving when it happens and happens both on the highway and when I'm going in reverse with the wheel turned all the way in one direction.”
