Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, IT APPEARED THAT THE BOLT SHEARED, DISLOCATING THE WHEEL FROM THE DRIVETRAIN. THIS WAS LATER CONFIRMED AT THE REPAIR CENTER--THE BOLT HAD SHEARED AND HAD TO BE DRILLED OUT. THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLTS (FORWARD BOLT) REMOVED AND THREADS HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6.5 YEARS OLD, AND IS NOT DRIVEN OFF ROAD. FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS AN ISSUE. AS NOTED ELSEWHERE ON THIS SITE, WE ALSO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BRAKE SQUEALING, AS WELL AS THE WATER PUMP ISSUE. *TR
