Saturday, July 7th - had to have front wheel bearings replaced.

The car hardly seems old enough to have wheel bearing problems

WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY FAILURE. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES. WHY CAN''T FORD ADD A LUBE FITTING? IF THEY DID IT WOULD MAKE LIFE A LOT EASIER. I AM SURE IT WAS ENGINEERED WITHOUT ONE SO THEY COULD MAKE MORE MONEY. BUT I WILL NEVER GO TO A DEALER OR BUY AN OEM PART FROM ANY CAR MANUFACTURER UNLESS NO ONE ELSE MAKES AN EQUAL. YOU JUST CAN'T REPLACE THE THINGS ON THE FRONT WHEELS, MUST HAVE A FRONT END ALIGNMENT DONE ALSO. AT 50K MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!
