Squeaks and creaks heard while driving over bumps and turning can be caused be a couple common sources and should be carefully diagnosed. Possible weld issues on the lower control arms can cause the noise concerns and require repair kits for the lower control arms from Ford. A jounce bumper (bump stop) rubbing against dry strut plate can cause an abrasion noise from the strut area. In this case the strut assembly should be disassembled to lubricate the jounce bumper and then reinstalled.

I have taken it to two shops and they both say it's lower control arms. I will go to auto parts store for replacement and see if that does the trick

Creaking and squeaking at low speeds and turns. I've had this problem for the last 20k miles (1.5 years), but now it's getting worse. Driving with the noise is annoying, but now I'm embarrassed to turn into the driveway; the car sounds like it has 500k miles on it. I used to pull both wheels off and spray all the bushings with white lithium grease and that would help for about 3 months; now nothing helps except when it rains, it goes away for a few days.

I have a grinding rubbing sound coming from the rear driver's side wheel area. Can I still drive the car -- would it be safe? Should I have it towed to the dealer? I have such low mileage and take very good care of my Milan -- I can't understand what could be causing this!

Mine sounds like a creaking sound whenever I push on the gas or when I stop, and if I turn or go over bumps.

MercDriver, 2010 Mercury Milan

Rookie
Purchased a 2010 Mercury Milan Premier in November 2009. From day 1, experienced squeaks and creaks when getting in/out of the car, going over bumps, turning corners and eccelerating. Tried to document occurrences of the squeaks and creaks, but was not able to establish any consistent pattern. Sometimes the squeaks and creaks came from under the trunk area. This squeaks and creaks issue is like an electrical problem: intermittent. Took car to FORD dealerships, but squeaks and creaks did not occur for dealers or dealers could not find anything wrong. This squeaks and creaks issue remains unresolved.

Same as everyone else.Squeaks and grinding when turning. I had to have the lower control arms replaced on the right side last year and now the left is doing the same thing. I am wondering how long it will take before Ford will Do a recall.
