| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had this vibration as far back as the original tires. i paid for a balance and alignment due to unusual tire wear. the ford dealership charged me $87 for the service. i was informed in writing that i had defective tires and would not be able to fix the vibration until i replaced the tire. once i replaced the tires $339.96. i still had the vibration. i took the vehicle to the ford dealer and i was informed in writing that i had 2 defective tires. i took it back to the store that i purchased the tires from and ended up upgrading to a more expensive tire since the could not remedy the problem. (cost $67.52)i went back to the ford dealer and they rolled up 517 miles on my vehicle and informed me that i had a defect that could not be fixed. they showed me a service bulleting from ford that stated a procedure to follow and then stop even if the vibration was not eliminated. i contacted ford customer service and they asked me to return to the dealership for another try. another 400-500 miles were rolled up on my car and the problem still exists. i contacted ford service again and they are sending me back to the dealership. what the hell is going on? if my tires fail or i have another failure, who is going to cover my costs and be liable. who is going to cover the expenses have already incurred?*ak (tiresize: 205/60r15)( dot number: tire size: 205/60r15 ) |
