Reported on Nov 21, 2012
| AFTER DRIVING FOR A TOTAL OF 6 HOURS WITH 1 STOP AT A REST AREA AFTER THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF DRIVING, I MADE ANOTHER STOP TO REFUEL. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND MADE THE FIRST TURN AT 5-10 MPH, MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD METALLIC CRANKING NOISE FOLLOWED WITH STRONG VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT MY CAR. AFTER REFUELING, I RETURNED TO THE FREEWAY. IT SEEMED THAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION ONLY APPEARS WHEN MAKING LEFT/RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED (5-10 MPH) AFTER A CONTINUOUS NON-STOP DRIVING OF AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (JIM WILSON MOTORS) AND THEIR TECHNICIANS ISOLATED THE NOISE AND VIBRATION TO THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. | |
