2 Sway Bar problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2012

I purchased this 2010 Ford Focus sel brand new on 12/31/09. Sometime in 2012 (I estimate around 12/13/12), I purchased a new set of tires (approximately $600) as I noticed the car sliding at stops and skipping on acceleration. I had the car in a Ford dealership (jim keim Ford, hilliard, OH) and was shown the undercarriage of the car and how the tires were wearing unevenly, wearing on the inside. Into the next year, I again started noticing the unusual wear pattern and had to purchase another set of tires on 6/27/14 at 56,000 miles, $625. On 6/24/14 I also had to have the sway bar links replaced, $271. I cannot find the receipt for the first tire purchase, but bob sumerel tires (614)237-6325 would have purchase record of both tire sets. My car only has 58,000 miles on it now and for it to be on its third set of tires definitely says excessive tire wear. This is also very dangerous driving with these tires wearing and is a constant worry with all the checking I do to make sure the tires are ok to drive on. I would like this money refunded (approximately $1500). I have receipts for the second set of tires and the sway bar links if you need to see them. Thank you.
