| Extreme inside shoulder wear on the front tires has gone undetected until actual tire failure. alignment has been checked 3 times by different specialists and i have been told that the ford mondeo (contour) and fiesta are well known for this defect. i feel that this has very serious potential and need to get my concerns across to the ford motor company. i am currently living in europe and obviously this is a european car. the french ford dealers are not enthusiastic especially as my french is not brilliant. please help provide a contact either at ford us or possibly ford gb or some european community agency. many thanks.*ak( dot number: ) | |||
