While driving westbound on I-90 the front right tire on my 07 Ford Focus came off with its struts still attached to the tire; resulting in the car spinning out of control and flipping over a few times before landing driver side down in the curb. The car was totaled to say the least.
2007 Focus 3 door ses purchased new in 11-06. Began noticing minor steering wheel vibrations after 6 months and dealer had rotated tires at 8k miles. At 14 months and 17k miles the steering wheel vibration became unacceptable. Dealer did a front alignment after telling me the wheels were way out of spec. The pirelli p6 original tires are now severely worn in misalignment patterns and must be replaced. Very disappointed. If you own a Focus and have any unusual feel in the steering and handling, get it checked ASAP.
