Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING FRONT SUBFRAME CORROSION. BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS BEING PERFORMED FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE OF NEW FRONT TIRES. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE LOCAL BILL MCCOY FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PENDING NHSTA INQUIRE BUT DID CONFIRM PRE-MATURE REAR AXLE CORROSION PER PRESENT RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF FURTHER INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.
