WHEELS
I AM TIRED OF REPLACING WHEEL BEARINGS. NOW FORD IS SAYING THAT MY SPINDLE IS MESSED UP AND THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. MY SPINDLE IS ONLY MESSED UP BECAUSE OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS. IT IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE. I AM TIRED OF CONSTANTLY REPAIRING THIS CAR. IF FORD WOULD FIX IT RIGHT I WOULD NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. ALL I REALLY WANT IS TO GET RID OF THIS THING THAT VAGUELY PASSES FOR A CAR AND TO GET SOMETHING RELIABLE, BUT FORD ONLY WANTS TO OFFER ME HALF OF WHAT I OWE ON THIS LEMON. I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT IT BACK. DT
