| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILING. CALLED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. BEARINGS SHOULD LAST OVER 100,000 MILES. MINE STARTED TO GO BAD AT 58,000 (APPROX) MILES. WHEN BEARINGS FAIL DRIVER COULD LOSE FRONT BRAKES AND/OR FRONT WHEELS LEADING TO A CRASH. I HAVE OVER 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH AUTOMOBILES AND KNOW WHAT A FAILING WHEEL BEARING SOUNDS LIKE. *TR |
