Hey all,
I'm gonna try and make a long story short. I've taken my car to the dealership a few times because the suspension has kept making noise different times. Relevant facts:
2012 Mustang GT
18,000 miles
3.73 gears, brembo, 6MT
700ish miles, drunk driver hit me on fwy, front right, authorized ford dealer repaired/replaced almost everything, $5,8xx worth of damage.
2,600ish miles, noticed suspension making noise upon acceleration, took it in, front suspension lubed. Kept making noise, took it in again, they replaced right front control arm.
5,800ish miles, took it in for oil change and complained about suspension and transmission, they replaced both front control arms and 2nd gear on trans and supporting syncros.
Just took it again (18,000ish) because when I go over speed bumps the suspension sounds like it's creaking. Also, if I have the A/C on and windows up, I can hear something from the front of the car creaking, as if you're walking on old wooden boards. Also, when I try to do a 3 point U turn, if I turn the steering wheel all the way and reverse the car, it sounds like a goddamn mating call of a whale.
What the hell is going on? This last time the dealership told me the noise was coming from the back not from the front, and said the reason was because my tire repair kit wasn't fastened down properly. I'm guessing they documented this because they didn't want me to open a lemon law case.
I'm planning on calling corporate tomorrow and giving them a fair share of how retarded this entire thing is. I buy a new car to avoid all problems and I've taken this car more to the dealership in 18,000 miles than I did my last car for the 90,000 miles I drove it.
What should I do? Could you guys recommend what the problem could be?
Thanks for the long read...
