The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made unusual noises. The noises increased at approximately 45 mph without warning. The vehicle was taken to East Tennessee Ford (crossville, tn, 931-240-4121) where it was diagnosed that the front passenger wheel bearing was faulty and about to fall out. The technician replaced the wheel bearing assembly. Approximately two years later, the front driver's wheel bearing also failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the wheel bearing assembly was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that there was no recall. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
Had to replace front wheel bearings 1000+ after only 80,000 miles. Additionally, had to replace a speaker for the back up system. What kind of idiots are they. Safety issue: I also to have throttle body work done 2 years ago and the last 10 days, 31 July to 9 Aug, have had 6 episodes of the wrench light coming on with two of them resulting in sudden deceleration on the freeway.
Driving on I-93N and started to hear a vibrating and humming from the front end. It got worse and worse and pulled into rest area to discover that 3 of 5 lug nuts on the drivers side front were loose to the point that they were only a few turns from completely being removed. Tightened lugs manually and went on my way but that was an eye opener!
