2010 Ford Focus suspension problems

Filed Jan 28, 2025 · Body, Steering · MI

Multiple mechanics working at and including but not limited to: Firestone, discount tires, Midas, Walmart, independent mechanics have informed me the rear wheels can not be realigned with the front wheels due to how it was designed. This has caused my rear wheels to become more and more out of alignment with no way to repair the misalignment. So all steering components have been more and more hard to control and are being destroyed at a faster rate. Including but not limited to: car sound deadening stuff. Bolts, nuts, screws, undercarriage, tire wear, the front alignment etc. It has not been inspected by anyone but mechanics.

2010 ford focus can't be driven if the road is wet. The backend try's to throw you to the left. It had new tires when I got it. Had it one year put anew set on and now it needs another set. My boss bought it new and had to put 3 sets on. He never found what caused it to throw the back end. I'm getting ready to take to try to find out what is causing the problem. When I bought the tires I was told my tires were wearing out from the inside out. They are going to check it out before new tires are put on.

I purchased this 2010 ford focus sel brand new on 12/31/09. Sometime in 2012 (I estimate around 12/13/12), I purchased a new set of tires (approximately $600) as I noticed the car sliding at stops and skipping on acceleration. I had the car in a ford dealership (jim keim ford, hilliard, oh) and was shown the undercarriage of the car and how the tires were wearing unevenly, wearing on the inside. Into the next year, I again started noticing the unusual wear pattern and had to purchase another set of tires on 6/27/14 at 56,000 miles, $625. On 6/24/14 I also had to have the sway bar links replaced, $271. I cannot find the receipt for the first tire purchase, but bob sumerel tires (614)237-6325 would have purchase record of both tire sets. My car only has 58,000 miles on it now and for it to be on its third set of tires definitely says excessive tire wear. This is also very dangerous driving with these tires wearing and is a constant worry with all the checking I do to make sure the tires are ok to drive on. I would like this money refunded (approximately $1500). I have receipts for the second set of tires and the sway bar links if you need to see them. Thank you.
