Car had a oil change a it's first year check up at the end of August, I mention the noise in front but was told after a roast test no noise. After 2 hours of highway driving I slow down to exit highway and came to a full stop, when I turn left on the road I had a horrible loud noise on the driver side forward. After about 400 metres I made another left turn, the noise was there but less in intensity and time. On my way back I did not have the horrible noise just funny little noise like a piece of metal loose vibrating.
My second problem is the front wheels spin for a few seconds when I start after a full stop. It's getting more often.
I will go to the garage tomorrow and I want them to take me seriously this time and let them know I know a little bit about what I'm taking about. I hope you can help me !Not only I'm a woman but I'm a senior which do not help. Thank you Ginette

All you have to do is take them for a road test and show them the noise. They won't be able to diagnose anything if they can't duplicate the symptom.

They took the car twice for a road test and everything is o.K. No front noise or wheels spinning. Today the garage reprogrammed the trampnsmission, they told me the transmission is noisy on the fiesta and it's normal.I have to get use to it. The loud noise that I experience last Thursday only happen once and not since.I suppose there is nothing I can do for now?What do you suggest I do?
