I was driving my 2007 Ford Focus, and I heard a loud noise, so I got out and looked and the driver's tire was off the car. I got it towed in and the mechanic said the lower control arm and the cv axle had broke off from rust, then he looked more and he told me I was so lucky to even be alive because the engine cradle is so rusted, the engine is ready to fall out of the car. This is all Ford's fault for using crappy steel to make a car, it could have been my life. The car body and engine were in perfect condition but we had to junk the car and now are carless. It only had 117,000 miles on it, and I won't be getting another Ford which sucks because all we have ever owned is Fords
Update from Dec 20, 2019: i want to find out if Ford is responsible for this problem.
