After 5 visits and almost $1,000, marshall ford west in cleveland, oh finally realized the orignal popping noise was the recall - which I had advised them in the first place. My mechanic told me it was the recall item which was the subframe rear mount bolts. I had taken the car in at least on 5 different occasions, had to lease a car one time, they gave me a rental on the next 2 occasions only after I complained. They advised that if they had had the parts in stock, they would have installed the front mount bolts also. After 1 week, the rear mount bolts began popping again. I need someone to check to see if this work was done correctly. They blamed it on other problems, but this was the problem I originally brought it in for. Please advise what I can do at this time. I am very unhappy and the noise just keep popping.
