NHTSA Complaint #754243 — 1997 FORD EXPEDITION

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE EXPEDITION SINCE WE STARTED LEASING IT ON 3/30/00. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN NUMEROUS TIMES LETTNG THEM KNOW THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I EITHER WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS FOUND. WELL, EVENTUALLY THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG WITH IT. BALL JOINT, BLOW OUT TIRE AND EXT. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO CANDY FORD OVER THIS ISSUE OVER 6 TIMES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO GOODYEAR TO CHECK THE TIRES ON IT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ITH AND THEY SAID THE RIGHT REAR AXLE WAS BENT. SO I HAVE CONTACTED CANDY FORD AGAIN AND THEY HAVE THE TRUCK KNOW LOOKING AT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THESE DEALERS CAN SELL YOU OR LEASE YOU SOMETHING WITH IT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED WITHOUT INFORMING YOU OF THIS BEFORE SALE IS COMPLETE. I FELL THIS DEALER SHIP HAS PUT MY FAMILY IN SEVER DANGER BY ALLOWING ME AND MY FAMILY TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS VECHILE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I'M SAFE DRIVING THIS VECHILE NO MATTER THE WORK THEY MIGHT DO TO IT. THERE HAVE BEEN TO MANY THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG WITH IT AND STILL GOING WRONG WITH IT.
