Consumer Description
MY VEHICLE IS A FORD EDGE 2011. I JUST RECEIVED THIS FLEET VEHICLE IN DECEMBER. RECENTLY (FEBRUARY) NOTICED THE ALIGNMENT WAS DRASTICALLY OFF. IN ORDER TO GO STRAIGHT, THE WHEEL WAS CRANKED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK IT INTO FIRESTONE REDONDO BEACH TO GET CHECKED FOR ALIGNMENT WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO WAY A POT HOLE OR BUMP CHANGED THE ALIGNMENT BY THAT MUCH. THEY STATED THAT THE JAM NUT ON THE LEFT SIDE TIE ROD WAS LOOSE. TO FIX THIS, THIS WAS TIGHTENED AND ALIGNMENT TOE SET. HOWEVER, THIS IS ALARMING CONSIDERING THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. AS STATED BY THE TECHNICIAN, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ROD WAS SET BUT NOT ACTUALLY TIGHTENED. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT WITH LOSS OF STEERING HAD I NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED IN TIME. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A SCARY ONE FOR LACK OF QUALITY CHECKS. *TR
