This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Front ball joints are wearing excessively due to a lack of lubricant. New ball joints do not require lubrication. Mechanic refuses to replace old ball joints with newer ball joints.
Ball joints should last for 100,000 miles this along with the tires in question should make you look at Ford for the current tire failures. If I had not went to Firestone to get the tires checked I would have had a blowout on the front and blamed it on the tires. I took the car to a Ford dealer and they told me that it was not there problem that the ball joints are bad but at this time I am dealing with Ford Motor Co. To get the situation resolved.( dot number: Tire size: P235/75/15 )
