Praise the Lord my friend did not die in her Ford Taurus; the wheel came loose from the center of the wheel. Checking recalls tonight; we find the reason there are no wheels to fit this car!!!!
Where does she go to get Ford to make right what they designed that was not fit for use or merchantibility.... Cynthia Strobel 928 254 1127
