What owners wrote
Vehicle got very loose and lost control due to rear strut mount rusting all the way apart and no control of rear suspension.
My daughter was alerted to a problem when loud banging noises started recently when driving under normal driving conditions. Upon inspection by a mechanic, he discovered that the passenger side and driver side rear wheel wells body parts and shock absorber mounts have significant rust damage. Our vehicle is well maintained according to the manufacture's schedule and as recommended by the ford dealership service department.
