Could be, noise coming from front end, front wheel area.... which forum was this noted, did Ford provide fix for calipers issue...??

I have a Ford Corporate case # and will check back in the Dealer Service Mgr in a month... will post results of follow up...

Local Ford service Manager called and stated that replacing passenger front strut and bearing did not fix crackling/pop noise issue, they contacted the Ford service hotline and Ford Corporate stated this is a known reported problem/ issue and working on fix, no more parts should be installed on my vehicle until fix is found... they opened case for it and I should be contacted when fix is discovered, so that's where it stands, I have car back and noise issue persists....fyi, any further info will be posted...

Will post results of service visit concerning cracking noise from front, still in service, said they were going to replace passenger side front strut, thinking it cause of noise when starting to accelerate from stop...

I will post what I find out once they replace strut on front passenger side, see if fixes crackling noise issue, that's the only issue I have with the car so far, little annoying knowing car only has 780 miles on it... Second fusion hybrid, overall like the car..

Dealer Service Mgr. called me, , after two days of trying to trace crackling noise issue, thinks it a defective passenger side front strut, ordered one,will change out on Monday, very disappointed with only 780 miles on vehicle...

Have it in the dealer shop checking for source of cracklin noise as described when I accelerate from stop,, still checking, hopefully they can find issue... they seem to think its not normal for FFH 2013... post more tomorrow...

Have appt. this Thusday at local Ford dealer, Grapevine, Texas ,,,, to have checked, my vehicle has only 750 miles, will report back on what they say...

Have the same cracklin sound, sometimes when coasting to stop in EV but always when accelerating from stop, could it the brake system or something to do with with electric motor??? annoying...since it happens all the time when go from dead stop??????? this seemed to start when I had 500 or so mile on it, planning to call service mgr at local Ford dealer...

Really terrific vehicle, with the adaptive cruise highway driving is really enjoyable , the Active Noise Cancellation technology really helps to reduce engine and road noise, really seems to work.. with the price of gas going up my timing to upgrade and great...

Drove from Austin where I bought to Dallas, averaged 43 mpg. About 7 mpg over my previous 2011 Fusion Hybrid, much smoother ride, quiet and more responsive... Like it much better....thanks,,,,
