| Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford focus. while driving approximately 5 mph, the contact noticed a clunking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technician advised that all four tires would have to be replaced. after the replacement of the tires the failure continued. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. the technician then advised that the front and rear tires would have to be replaced a second time because an alignment was not performed in time. additionally, whenever the vehicle was driven over an uneven road surface, there was a loud bang coming from the front end of the vehicle. the contact stated that the tire wear was not because of the alignment but because of a safety defect within the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 16,754. | |||

| Mom and i was driving a rental. 2010 ford focus. earlier that day she was driving the car an complained it was wobbling when the steering wheel still. for me, at first when i was driving i thougt it was the wind maken the car wobble, but as i was driving down the highway and notice my back right tire rotation was very unusual (it just didnt feel right) so i slow down to feel the same reaction. when i did my car fishtailed into the median wall of the highway (smashing in the right side or driver side of the car) (when hitting the wall , the breaks and steering wheel locked up) and bounced me across to the left side of the highway hitting the metal rail that help me stop rolling, ended up with minor injuries, serious headaches, and a so called ticket of $130 failure to control my vehical i don't know if ford focus function that way, but i will never advise anyone to ever get a ford! | |||
