A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I received the recall letter from Ford, took it to the dealer and had it inspected. They told me everything was fine. Less than a month later I was driving and blew my drivers side rear tire. Had it towed to a shop (no longer have a spare) they in turn put a new tire on and then informed me that they could not allow me to drive it. They showed me that my rear axle had cracked and that was what caused the tire to blow.
So I called the dealer and they were very rude and said that they need to inspect the vehicle to find out what the problem was, I in turn told them what the problem was and that it had been noted from my mechanic that fixed the tire. I told them that they just had inspected it and said it was fine. No matter they want to inspect again ( mind you they didn't even have the decency to put the car in our name just the VIN.) Upon finding my car in their records they said they still need to see it and then it would cost $300 to replace. This should be free since it was their fault because they said it was fine.
