Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear of the car jerks/pulls around. It is very hard to keep control of the vehicle when this happens. Thought it was an alignment problem. After having four wheel alignments done, the problem still existed. Several mechanics tried diagnosing the problem with no luck. Finally one mechanics was able to pinpoint the problem. Seems the rear lower arm assemblies are failing (defective or weak parts). My wife was in an accident a few weeks ago which i believe may have been due to not being able to control the car (back end basically does what it wants to do) this is not an isolated problem. I know of three other people within a ten mile radius who are also having the same problem with there ford focus. This is definitely a safety issue when it take every little bit of effort to keep your car in control especially on snow covered roads.
