Grand Marquis

I believe there is a manufacturing issue with many of the Ford Mercury Grand Marquis from multiple years of models. It took only minimal effort to find that many people have the same issue as I do with cars of the same make and model regarding the front wheel assembly being hazardous and ultimately unsafe to drive the vehicle. My personal issue is a very noticeable clanking/thudding coming from mostly the driver side front tire and the assembly used to control and secure the tire. Many similar complaints appeared as results on google after attempting to search solutions and answers to what the problem is. I found more than one account of people losing front tires while driving and even coming to a stop to park. I believe there is a massive safety concern here with so many identical accounts on the same issue. I for one rely on my personal vehicle greatly and truly think the company should be forced to come up with a legitimate solution to this issue. Live are at risk here and I for one think this needs to be taken into serious consideration. I continued to search for a solution but could not find any viable considerations on the internet. All accounts lead to the front drive assembly being simply defective and can not be prevented or permanently repaired in most cases. The company must be held responsible. They should be in charge of redesigning and replacing the front steering assembly on all cars still affected by this issue and made liable for all expenses of replacement.

When driving wheel disc will cut into tire valve and cause it to have a slow leak. If valve is touched air will escape.
