| Description of the problem | My vehicle was taken to the ford collision center in durham, north carolina after i heard rubbing on the right rear tire while driving on a highway. The rust corrosion of the rear wheel wells is so severe that the ford service manager at university ford in durham, north carolina refuses to do the repair as specified by ford motor company because he believes the vehicle would still be unsafe. I have already filed a complaint with nhtsa (10913700) but i request help in compelling ford motor company to either perform a proper repair or repurchase the vehicle. |
