1 Front Suspension Upper Arm problem of the 2002 Ford Explorer Sport

Failure Date: 04/07/2004

While turning vehicle, heard a popping noise & front left tire suddenly collapsed inward. Left front upper control arm, lower ball joint, shock & cam bolts & washers were replaced. Vehicle was under warranty, however Ford dealership refused to cover stating this was the result of vandalism. No proof of this was ever submitted to me despite certified letter sent to them requesting. Vehicle was kept in locked garage at night & parked in secure, gated lot at work during the day. The same thing happened to the right front tire on 5/21/04, but was being driven straight. Ins refused to cover as no proof of vandalism.
