I HAVE HAD THIS VIBRATION AS FAR BACK AS THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I PAID FOR A BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT DUE TO UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $87 FOR THE SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED IN WRITING THAT I HAD DEFECTIVE TIRES AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE VIBRATION UNTIL I REPLACED THE TIRE. ONCE I REPLACED THE TIRES $339.96. I STILL HAD THE VIBRATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED IN WRITING THAT I HAD 2 DEFECTIVE TIRES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE STORE THAT I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM AND ENDED UP UPGRADING TO A MORE EXPENSIVE TIRE SINCE THE COULD NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. (COST $67.52)I WENT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY ROLLED UP 517 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A DEFECT THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THEY SHOWED ME A SERVICE BULLETING FROM FORD THAT STATED A PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW AND THEN STOP EVEN IF THE VIBRATION WAS NOT ELIMINATED. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ASKED ME TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER TRY. ANOTHER 400-500 MILES WERE ROLLED UP ON MY CAR AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AGAIN AND THEY ARE SENDING ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? IF MY TIRES FAIL OR I HAVE ANOTHER FAILURE, WHO IS GOING TO COVER MY COSTS AND BE LIABLE. WHO IS GOING TO COVER THE EXPENSES HAVE ALREADY INCURRED?*AK (TIRESIZE: 205/60R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/60R15 )
