2010 Ford Focus wheels problems

Filed May 25, 2022 · Wheels · CA

Today, I took my Ford Focus in for service(05/25/2022). I had the oil changed and my vehicle tires rotated.While the service was being performed,I was informed my tire lug nuts were loose and defective in most cases.My advisor told me I should replaced all the lug nuts for safety as she knew of a Ford recall involving the lug nuts. I discovered there was no recall,but there was a class- action lawsuit that was dismissed in 2019.I looked at the old lugs and decided to not keep them on the vehicle and had new ones installed.I have the old lugs nuts for inspection if needed.I do not want to take a chance on my vehicle safety,so that is why I had them replaced.

I purchased goodyear assurance 215/45r17 tires 03/19/2013 dot m763 julr 3412 for my 2010 ford focus VIN# [xxx] at 32,436 miles on the vehicle. At 69,914 miles on 9/29/15, the left rear tire went flat. Inspection of the tire reveled side wall separation from the carcass which appears due to dry rot. Inspection of the other tires also had signs dry rot. I have retained 2 of the 4 tires for analysis and inspection should your engineering department want for further analysis. I will keep them on hand for 2 months from date of this letter. I filed this complaint due to safety concerns of the tire. Side wall separation should not occur with 37,478 miles or within 36 months of purchase. I have 2 of the 4 tires for analysis if required that I will keep on hand for analysis. I will dispose of them after 60 days. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving down the street I was a slight curve turning to the right and the car drifts while turn. It feels like the car is losing control. I keep replacing the tires but every few months I have this issue.

Left front tires continue to wear excessively on the inside of the tread. I have had the alignment checked, and everything is within specifications. I rotated tires as shown in owner's manual. Tires rotated front to back, back to front. The left front wears the inside of the tread; the tire on the left rear stops wearing, once placed on the back. Also, upon movement, tire noise inside the vehicle is unacceptable, and this noise sounds loudest from the inside, front left of the vehicle (driver's side). At 25 MPH, inside tire noise is 45 db. At 55 MPH, inside tire noise is 85 db. Radio is off: windows are closed. This is unacceptable. Dealer says that it is not a warranty issue, and that I should align the car with every oil change, at 3000 miles: this is not what the owner's manual recommends. Alignment shop says that alignment is within specifications, and provides a print-out showing the readings. Vehicle tracks straight and turns appropriately. I will wear out the two left tires before 30,000 miles, while the right side tires show little wear for the mileage.

Hankook premature tire wear. Tires only last 17k. Ford and hankook will not honor warranty. Vehicle makes loud noise driving down the road and vehicle is more susceptible to hydroplanning. Tires are worn on the inner side. Ford customer service refuse to acknowledge a problem buy has several tsb covering the premature tire failure/wear.
