I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD FOCUS AND IT IS FOUR MONTHS OLD WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE BALD WITH DIFFERENT PATTERNS. THE TIRE THAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THE ONE THAT HAS A WAVE LIKE PATTERN ON IT. THE DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALL THE PEOPLE INCLUDING MECHANICS I SHOWED IT TOO BEFORE I WENT TO FORD SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. *JB
SIDEWALL OF GOODYEAR TIRE ON DRIVER'S SIDE SEPARATED. NEWWCAR, 5100 MILES. *AK
SEVERE TIRE WOBBLE. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT NEEDED ALIGNMENT AND 2 NEW TIRES. TOOK TO A TIRE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY OF THE SAME CARS IN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S THAT THE REAR WHEELS ARE TOED-IN 50% TO MUCH FROM THE FACTORY SPECS AND IT JUST CHOPS THE TIRES UP. THE CAR NEEDS 2 NEW TIRES AND A ALIGNMENT JOB TO FIX THE PROBLEM FROM THE FACTORY. I FEEL THAT THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR IT , SINCE IT COMES OFF THE LINE LIKE THAT. *TR
