Description of the problem | Got a flat tire. Called roadside assistance and his tools were not able to remove the bolts nor was my crowbar from ford. Stripped bolts and swelling. Took car to discount tire they said this is common with ford cars and that the materials used on the bolts were not of good quality. Recall should be looked into. I had the flat while i was at home. But if this would have happened on the highway i would have had to call a tow truck. Which is not safe. Advised to get all of the bolts replaced. |
