Helpful Websites About 2008 Ford Focus rear end noise and abnormal wear on tires

I bought the 2008 Ford Focus and just like others have already stated the tires wore abnormal. I carried it back and they put a bar on the rear end and aligned the car and stated that would take care of the problem. It had ruined my two back tires and I had to replace them at my cost even though it was the car that caused the problem. Then my tires have worn abnormal again. Plus the cluster (whatever that is went bad) another story. Today they told me that it was only slightly out of allign and that could have caused the problem (bullcrap) they are going to put it back up on the rack and look at the rear end again after I told them that one set of tires were worn out and now this is the second. I do not thing that Ford focus owners should have to buy a new set of tires every six months because they have a flaw in their car the Ford company needs to find out the problem and fix it and replace our tires if it is a design flaw they can't fix they need to make things right. I will see what they say at the dealership. Anyone else out there had any luck getting this problem fixed?

Front tires wearing on the inside.rear tires abnormal wear..took vehicle to tire dealer to have tires replaced.. stated we needed all four tires, alignment and to our shock new struts. The very reputable tire dealer stated to call Ford reference our extended warranty... also stated there have been known problems with the rear suspension in this model... we are off to the Ford dealer to see what they will suggest.. as I can see from other posts I can guarantee they will recommend service only and not replacing the struts...will update later !

Abnormal tire wear in the rear wheels. at 36,000 miles i had already bought 3 sets of tires. whenever it rains, squeeking noise in the right rear suspension. took it to the dealership and they checked it out and they said that it just needed some grease. squeeking was fixed but then it rained again. after it stoped raining, squeeking noise came back. took it again to the dealership, now they said that it was a problem with the suspension. i had all the rear suspension replaced(covered under warranty) but noise still continues. i used to be a Ford fan but not anymore. until this day no one can tell me what is wrong with my suspension
