Consumer Description

I DRIVE MY CAR LIKE A NORMAL MAN WOULD. I DON'T TAKE IT OFF ROAD AND DON'T ABUSE IT IN ANY WAY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED BEFORE NOW THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN. FORD EXPLORERS SEEM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM OFTEN AND I AM AFRAID TAKING THIS CAR ON THE ROAD THAT THE WHEELS ARE JUST GOING TO COME RIGHT OFF WITH ME DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE BEARINGS AND HUBS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MINE GO OUT AGAIN WITH ME IN IT DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND BEING KILLED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM!! FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
