Turning rt after a stop, I began to accelerate. Instantly the vehicle began to lisp to the left and travel across the center lane. Applying the brakes I could not turn back into the rt lane. The left drivers mirrow was ripped off as it clipped a neighbors lawn pole. Standing I still could not turn the vehicle. It stopped. Not able to exit the drivers door, I did the passengers. Inspecting, the left front wheel was gone. Towed to beaudrt Ford the vehicle had twice the damage as at the scene. ( pictures were taken at both places). Ask if there were any recalls, I was told no, 4 times. This is untrue. I have been forced to allow beaudry to fix my vehicle as they tell me they cannot get any Ford engineers to inspect the car. This SUV fell apart. 152,000 of the same year 4X4S were recalled.
