1 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2018

Vehicle stalls when accelerating from a stopped position. Several time, while stopped at an intersection with crossing traffic, I attempted to drive through the intersection but the car failed to accelerate. I tried shifting from auto to manual but the car still failed to accelerate for at least 5 seconds at which time it jolted forward. The issue started at around the 50k mile mark 3 years ago and continues still today (~90k miles). I am not seeing my vehicle listed under recalls related to loss of electrical power/stalling from 2/7/2013 and have not had any recall notifications related to my car since 2017. I have been attempting to resolve a constant problem with cracking sounds from front suspension when turning. To date, I have had the entire front suspension rebuilt including; control arm assy, sway bar assy, bearing, struts, and u-joints. I am still experiencing this problem, especially during colder weather days. Now I am learning that there is a recall from 8/1/2020 related to my car model but my VIN is not included. Nhtsa id number: 10179812 manufacturer communication number: b310112. Summary cracking noises from the frontaxle area while turning the wheels, when station: cracking noises are heard from the front axle area while maneuvering at low speeds (e. G. , parking lot maneuvers) or when turning the steering wheel while stationary.
