So can you explain why my car still running, even my Honda with 160k+ miles? Can you provide some example/proof any MODERN car doing this?

The video I posted is not my video, but I'm experiencing the same exact noise and problem. By the way... the noise CAME BACK. If I have time I want to bring the car in again to the same local car shop. I wonder what he'll do this time. I just can't believe it is so **** hard to fix a squeak. As of now no local car shop can fix it, no Ford dealer can fix it, no one on any mustang forum can fix it.

My dad used to tell me for almost a decade now to never go below 1/4 tank because of this. I'm surprised it's still an issue.

Man, I am sorry that it came down to you putting &450.00 dollars into your "new" Mustang because of dealers who wont stand behind their products. Try calling Ford Motor corporate?

My car was delivered less than 2 weeks ago, and I have the front end creaking from day one! I find it amusing and disappointing Ford has this defect going on for years now.

Yeah me too. But I only have issues when I go over speed bumps too fast. Other than that, I have very minor noise.

Same issue here. Control arm replaced, lube applied, issue resolved. Few weeks later or after rain, issue returns. I also have a high pitched squealing noise coming from my rear axle that Ford has yet to fix. Issues started happening two months into ownership, eleven repairs and a year later issues still not resolved. In a lawsuit with Ford at the moment.

I've re-escalated your case, Will3212.

Guys, please make an appointment with your dealers and PM me with your Full name, best daytime number, dealer, VIN, and mileage so I can forward this to the Customer Service Manager for your area.

I brought my car to the dealer again this morning for the squeak. I test drove with the technician and he heard the squeak when we went over a speed bump. The manager told me the control arms changed parts number again and I'd have to wait for them to be released at the end of this month. This will be the 4th repair attempt within a year for this issue.

Please stay in contact with your CSM, Will3212. He’s more than willing to help in any way he can.

My 2012 is getting the control arms replaced today. I am hoping this will fix my suspension issues.

My car was brought in for repair today. Unfortunately they did a half a$$ job, only driver side lower control arm was replaced. I still have creaking from the passenger side.
