I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH WHILE FORD GAVE US THE RUNAROUND ON WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD BE COVERED SINCE WE WERE ALMOST 200 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT THEIR FACILITY. WHEN DRIVING IT THERE GOING ABOUT 40MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ENTIRELY AND THREW THE CAR CLEAR ACROSS THE ROAD. THANKFULLY IT WENT TO THE RIGHT AND INTO THE DITCH, BECAUSE HAD IT JERKED TO THE LEFT, WE'D PROBABLY BE DEAD. IT JERKED ALL OVER THE ROAD THE WHOLE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE TECHNICIAN WHO COMPLETED THE SERVICES TOLD ME THAT I NEED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE THE TIRES ONLY HAD 28,222 MILES ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES THAT FORD PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME (HANKOOK) WERE WEARING OUT BEFORE THEY NORMALLY WOULD. (MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TIRES HAVE A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM.) I ASKED WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES AT FORD BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING HUNG UP ON DURING THE CONVERSATION. ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD PAY 30% OF THE COST OF NEW TIRES. WE EVENTUALLY WERE ABLE TO GET A CASE OPEN ON THE ISSUE (CASE #CAS-21837229). FORD CONTACTED THE DEALER TO WORK ON A SOLUTION. ON 6/26/19, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. THE SERVICE MANAGER INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FORD BACK. I CALLED FORD, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME BUT THAT I SHOULD SAVE MY RECEIPT WHEN I GET NEW TIRES IN CASE A SERVICE ACTION/RECALL WAS ISSUED IN THE FUTURE.

I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES AT FORD BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING HUNG UP ON DURING THE CONVERSATION. ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD PAY 30% OF THE COST OF NEW TIRES. WE EVENTUALLY WERE ABLE TO GET A CASE OPEN ON THE ISSUE (CASE #CAS-21837229). FORD CONTACTED THE DEALER TO WORK ON A SOLUTION. ON 6/26/19, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. THE SERVICE MANAGER INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FORD BACK. I CALLED FORD, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME BUT THAT I SHOULD SAVE MY RECEIPT WHEN I GET NEW TIRES IN CASE A SERVICE ACTION/RECALL WAS ISSUED IN THE FUTURE.
Additional Notes:
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT LANDERS FORD IN COLLIERVILLE, TN ON 6/11/2019 BECAUSE I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN ONE OF MY TIRES AND NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN WHO COMPLETED THE SERVICES TOLD ME THAT I NEED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE THE TIRES ONLY HAD 28,222 MILES ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES THAT FORD PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME (HANKOOK) WERE WEARING OUT BEFORE THEY NORMALLY WOULD. (MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TIRES HAVE A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM.) I ASKED WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES.
