Description of the problem | Went to get tires rotated. I was called to my vehicle to show excessive tire wear on rear tires. Especially right rear . I went to ford dealer as this vehicle still under warranty. They checked and said it was witiin limits. I was to rotate more often. I rotate on a regular schedule and also run nitrogen in my tires for safety and extended tire life. I took a trip and was due for oil change and tire rotation.. The wear bars were showing and the mechanic would not rotate or attempt to align. His comment was all the ford focus vehicles are like this and no matter how good a tire you put on; they wear out right around 30,000 miles. Is this another denied defect by ford motor company like my transmission was at first??? This is a safety hazard and investigating with other focus owners found the above to be true with their vehicles. I amm sure i didn't have a blow out due to using nitrogen in my tires. |
