1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2016

Ball joint/front left lower control arm defect @ 51,000 miles caused vehicle to fail state inspection. Confirmed by independent mechanic and Ford dealer. Potentially dangerous defect in states where there is no annual inspection requirement. Replacement part is on backorder possibly indicating higher than expected failures.

2 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2014

Friday, November 14, 2014, I was going between 25 and 35 miles per hour when I side swiped a curb on the driver’s side. The control arm on the front drivers’ side broke into. There was a about a six (6) inch abrasion on the front left wheel edge and the tire at first glance appeared undamaged. My thought is that there was a flaw in the manufacture of the control arm. The car is currently at Ford of ventura, 3440 east main street, ventura, CA.
