Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON MY FOCUS. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT FIXED BUT THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THE CAR ALSO HANDLES HORRIBLY IN WET OR WINTERY WEATHER REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OR CONDITION OF THE TIRES. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR IN THESE CONDITIONS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ALARMINGLY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH FORD FOCUS OWNERS. BODY STYLE YEARS OF ROUGHLY 2007-2010. IT IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL FORD FOCUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES.(MYSELF INCLUDED.) *TT
