| My 2000 lincoln ls has allready bad front wheel bearings at 42000 miles. the left set has been replaced a month ago (seems that the bearings were not properly greased at assembly plant) at a cost of over $200.00 and now the right hand bearing is failing.this failure could cause the wheel to come off at great peril to the persons in the vehicle (interstate at 70 mph) | |||

| My wife reported this incident yesterday, but without the v.i.n. motor trend's car of the year had a major failure while i was driving, fortunately in a parking lot, at a very low speed. there was a spontaneous loss of control (there was no contact with anything else), followed by partial detachment of the front left wheel from the vehicle. this occurred as a result of fracture of a bolt securing the lower contol arm. the vehicle was rendered undriveable, as the wheel was turned 90 degrees. obviously, a similar incident at a higher rate of speed would likely have resulted in major injury. i thought it was important to report this to you because, incredibly, it is ford motor co.'s policy not to do so automatically! | |||
