Consumer Description

MY 2000 FORD FOCUS BEGAN MAKING A VERY LOUD RUMBLING NOISE ALONG WITH A GRINDING NOISE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS WERE TOTALLY SHOT AND THE REAR WHEELS OF THE CAR WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WERE WILLING TO DO. THIS WAS IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SAFETY DEFECT. *JB
