“My wife was returning home from the hospital where our daughter received outpatient chemo therapy . At the first light leaving the hospital the car started shaking. My daughter thought her door was open , so she opened the door and closed it to verify the door was closed. They entered the highway and went about 1/4 mile and the car made a rumbling noise and 1 or 2 minutes later the car felt like it was draging something. My wife pulled over immediately to the side of the freeway and called me. …”

They have replaced cv joint 3 times, struts, axle suspensions all on the left side. Friday, july 11th the have replaced the right side. And yesterday jyly 14th the cracking noise is back. The exact noise it has been in the shop for many times. Which I believe have caused my tires to go bald. But Ford does not believe this.”
