“At 50,000 miles, about one year agothere was a load screeching sound coming from the front end of my vehicle and the steering began to fail and the car began to weave. I was driving approximately 70 MPH on highway 93 30 miles north of wickenburg, az. By the time I got my car stopped the left front wheel was smoking and extremely hot. I had the vehicle towed to sanderson Ford and had to replace the axle spindle, wheel bearing, hub and wheel. Ford told me this was not under any warranty or recall. …”
