Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS MUCH GREATER TIRE WEAR THAN NORMAL ON REAR TIRES. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE WRONG CAMBER ON THE REAR WHEELS OF THIS CAR!! FORD MANUFACTURED IT THIS WAY!!! THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS WITH NEW CONTROL ARMS, WHICH FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE AT THEIR COST. WITH THE WRONG CAMBER, EACH REAR TIRE ACQUIRES CUPPING EITHER ON THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE TREAD ON THE TIRE. I HAVE SEVERE CUPPING ON THE INSIDE LR AND MODERATE CUPPING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TREAD ON THE RR. THIS WEAR PATTERN PRODUCES AN OUT OF BALANCE CONDITION AND AS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED, I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT !! *TT
