Taurus

  • 15,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Taurus. While driving between 30-40 mph the steering column began to violently vibrate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician stated that the rear camber was misaligned; which caused unusual tread wear on the rear tires. The failure could not be remedied because it was caused by the design of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 15,000. The current mileage was 31,000. The VIN was unavailable.
