Popping, Grinding Sound

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Fusion builds off the 2010's reputation. That's not a good thing.

The first thing that jumps out is the ridiculous amount of power steering complaints. It grinds, it squeals, and it eventually just fails.

And if losing power steering isn’t enough for you, how about a sudden loss of engine power? That combination is enough to achieve clunker status.

This noise is heat related. The hotter it gets, the louder it gets. I have a 2006 Pontiac Vibe with 160000 miles on it and never has had any problems.

My ford 2011 Fusion makes popping noises, sometimes it makes racket and sometimes it don't. Dealer said they can find nothing wrong or messed up with the front end, everything looks good. It's on the front passenger side of vehicle. They said I could replace the lower arm (is what I think they called it), but that it may not fix the problem with the noise. That mine still looked good. The vehicle has never been dinged, dented or wrecked.
