my 2010 gt clunks in the front over almost any bump, took it to ford and the jackasses said its because you have an aftermarket exhaust all the sounds resonate to the front of the car when you hit a bump......needless to say the car still clunks and they didn't fix anything..

Ford is the worst with service they will feed you any kind of lie they can to avoid fixing a car, never had a problem with gm or jeep with warranty repairs

In my experience those noises have always been loose connecting, under lubricated, faulty bushing Front sway bar, loose connection or failing end links(real common) or front arm bushings. Erik

The dealer who wouldn't fix the car is in Woodbury ace ford the one who replaced the LCa is Holman in turnersville, tho I can say winner ford in cherry hill is the worst dealer of any I have ever been too.

I have had my 2012 since August 25th. The car only has 1,300 easy miles on it and already it has a clunking sound on the left front end.

[QUOTE=Norm Peterson;7729874]Guess you've never owned a Nissan Maxima .

Honda gives you hell to if you take your car in for repair under warranty. Turns out the manufactures of almost all brands warn the dealerships that if they do to much warranty work, they will be penalized. Got this info. from a friend who is a service manager at a Honda dealership.

I read in this forum that there is a TSB from Ford regarding this issue. The front anti-sway bar and the bushings need to be replaced.
