2006 Ford Freestyle suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rear brakes failed (pad remaining is 2/32) at 30,000 miles. I had the vehicle in to have a wheel alignment and the tires replaced. The service center advised me to have the rear brakes replaced asap.
Since we first purchased the car, we have been complaining that our tires have been wearing out too quickly, show unusual signs of wear. After the third visit to the dealers, I contacted ford to express my frustration regarding the tires and that fact that I had to continually replace these tires at my cost ? It was unusual that tires were wearing out with less than 20,000 miles on the vehicle. Ford motor company denied any responsibility for the tire, suggesting that the unusual wear was a factor that was being caused roads within new hampshire and improper maintenance and our failure to keep our tire aligned and balanced. On august 26th, 2007 - my car began to experience some a wobbling in the car as if the car was out of alignment - with a five minute period, it started to feel like we had a flat tire. I pulled to the side of the road and inspected the tires on the vehicle, which did not appear to be flat. Again I proceeded down the road and within the next 500 my car began to experience some a sever wobbling, violently shaking the car. Again, I got out of the car to inspect the tires assuming that this was being caused being caused by a flat tire. Again, all of the tires appeared to be fine, who ever I did notice that left rear passenger tire appeared to wobble when I pushed on it with my foot. Assuming that the tire might be lose, I proceed to jack up the vehicle in an effort to determine if the tire was potentially loose what I discover, was that the tire was fine, instead, the entire left assemble (tire, disk brake assembly and the rotor) were coming off the car?
Car was parked in the drive way when my husband noticed both rear tires had 10-12 inch slits with metal exposed..took to a ford dealership with our extended warranty and ford takes not liability..the damage is as follows: front end alignment, 2 tires and 2 control arms bent when vehicle was delivered by carrier...ford admitted that, they even changed the control arms because they are not strong enough for the 2007 year model but we have to pay anyway..fords quote was over $750.00. The arms are factory faulted but we have to pay...why get extended warranty then or worse we have less than 20,000 miles on car...
