Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN RECALL 98S14 AND DEALER DID NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT LUG NUTS, SO THEY TIGHTENED THE DEFECTIVE ONES. WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE WHEEL SHEERED OFF AT THE LUG NUTS ROLLING OUR VEHICLE OVER 4-5 TIMES. I SUFFERED A BROKEN NECK IN TWO PLACES AND A CRUSHED DISC WHICH HAD TO BE REMOVED AN THE VERTIBRAE FUSED. I FEEL FORD WAS NEGLIGENT AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT. WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING LEGAL ADVISE.
