Front Suspension Problems of Ford Explorer Sport Trac

I have a 2007 sport trac w/ 55k that recently developed a noise from the front engine that was noticeable at 45mph or higher. An inspection by a Ford dealership has identified the driver's side.

Vehicle has a constant "thumping" noise in front end at any speed as well as vibration. While driving at in town speeds and controlled highway speeds,the vibration tapers off but noise increases. During acceleration vibration is severe. Vehicle has been in dealership shop at least 3 times for this, each time I'm told a tire rotation will fix the problems. . . Each time it does not. Vehicle is scheduled to be brought back to shop 12/22/05 again for same problem.

This replaces file #10134158 while traveling approximately 25 mph the car suddenly swerved to the right and the passenger front wheel fell off. Shearing at the cast iron knuckle behind the wheel. There are no scuff marks of any kind on the tire indicating that it was a part failure as opposed to impact with the curb. Ford was contacted. After a meeting with the zone representative I was told it had to clear litigation prevention before engineers could look at it after 4 weeks I was told Ford has no interest in checking it out and blamed the driver not the vehicle. I am concerned we are dealing with a safety defect. Litigation over rode the safety engineers as far as inspecting the damaged parts.

While driving approximately 60 mph front of vehicle suddenly dipped. This caused vehicle to skid and crash into a ditch. Vehicle was totaled. The cause of this was undetermined.

Vehicle front suspension assembly was, according to Ford dealer, designed so poorly that excessive and unsafe tire wear patterns were to bee expected. Several other customers with same complaints were in dealer's waiting room the same day. I have exhausted all avenues to work with Ford, up to Ford detroit customer service.
