| Tl- the contact owns a 2010 ford focus. the contact stated that she had to change all four tires in under 20,000 miles. based on her research she found that the vehicle was manufactured with a two degree negative camber and this caused the tires to wear very fast. the manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was 16,811 and the current mileage 26,000. dt | |||

| Both tires on back cupped and i was told by dealer that it was because i did not rotate them. i had to buy tires and also pay for alignment. now at 56251 miles it did it again. took it to dealer again and now they day it needs a rear adjustment kit that cost $240.00 dollars and i have to pay for it. the service consultant said it was a factory defect but ford says it isn't and they will not pay for it. also i took it in because it makes a loud thump when i hit a bump. i told them it sounds like shocks are bad but they said nothing is wrong with car. | |||

| 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! | |||
