I just recently purchased my 2018 Ford fusion SE and about 2 months after I purchased it I noticed clanking noise coming from the front driver side tire area. I took it to Mavis and have them look at it and they said that the bolt that held on to the steering control arm had gotten loose and they tightened it it did not make a noise for maybe a day or so and then it just started clanking and the steering and controlling is a lot looser now. I have not been in an accident I am filing this safety report and I am contacting Ford dealership to look at it to see if it could possibly be due to the recall that these cars have on them for the steering I don't know why if it is my VIN number wasn't included but I'm going to have Ford dealership check it out. There were no lights that came up flashing no warning signals but the car's steering has gotten extremely loose and I want to get the problem fixed before there is an incident

Steering wheel lose

- Noblesville, IN, USA

When the temperature outside goes over 70 degrees, there's creaking noises underneath, sometimes very loud when turning, even when parked, moving the steering wheel left or right it makes the noise. Looking online, there are several complaints that report the same problem, my car has only 72K miles and it feels like something is going to break. It has been happening all summer this year and it's getting louder. This has to be a recall.
