NHTSA Complaint #756617 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

MY 2000 FORD FOCUS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING. BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON FRIDAY JAN4 TH WHEN I GOT IT TO THE FORD MECHANIC HE SSAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING, WHICH IS THE EXACT SAME PART OTHER FOCUS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR. THE MECHAINC ALSO TOLD ME WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE TIRE COMING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CALLED FORD THEY SAID SINCE MY CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL LISTS THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EVEN THOUGH THE PART THAT BROKE IS THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER FOCUS AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 42212 MILES ON IT AND BEARINGS SHOULD NOT BREAK DOWN THAT SOON. SO I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DELT WITH *AK
