Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2003 ford expedition. i have been having problems w/ the ride, only to be told by the dealer that the only fix is to replace all of the tires. i only have 20000 miles (almost all highway) on the tires, with good tread depth. according to the technician "they've had tons of problems" with the continental contitrac suv tires. if this is the case, why isn't there a recall? this vehicle is very hard to steer with the tire problem, and it shouldn't be the consumer that pays for these flaws.*ak
