Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,500 miles
Problems with tires cupping, steering and upper control arms. The consumer was told by a mechanic at the dealership, that the control arms were too short in the back of the vehicle which caused the tires to tip in, when the tires tipped in, it caused the inner edge tire to wear and then the vehicle vibrated while the consumer was driving and the vehicle also pulled to the right. On two occasions, the consumer lost control of the vehicle, because of the severe vibration in the steering.
