Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A FORD FOCUS 2009 A YR AGO FROM THE KIA DEALER SHIP IN RAPID CITY SD. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 18,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR JUST OVER A YR AND IT HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TRAVELING TO ABERDEEN SD , GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE WORE OUT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS USUAL FOR THE FORD FOCUS AND THEY HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO ALIGN THE CAR MORE OFTEN TO AVOID THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. TIRES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THIS. I WAS TRAVELING AND COULD HAVE WRECKED MY CAR AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED UNTIL AROUND 60,000 MILES. I AM LUCKY I DID NOT CRASH WHEN I WAS TRAVELING. I DID PURCHASE TIRES FOR 600.00 AND WOULD LIKE FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
