Consumer Description

I OWN A 1997 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN A MINI MALL WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE FELL OFF MY VEHICLE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE BALL JOINT HAD SNAPPED. HAD THIS HAPPENED 10 MINUTES EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE DOING 65 MPH. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON OTHER FORD PRODUCTS AS WELL AND AS SUCH I THINK THAT YOUR AGENCY IS RESPONSIBLE. IN ADDITION, A PREVIOUS LETTER TO THIS DEFECT WAS SUBMITTED, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPLY. *JB
