“We purchased a 2010 Lincoln MKZ last year for my wife. As soon as I drove it off the lot I realized there was a drift to the right. We do not drive the car often and we decided to let it go until the first recommended checkup. It was checked and the alignment was found to be in specs as per ford.

I have contacted ford ever since the service and they will do nothing to repair it. …”
