Damn bk4293!! "ford focus" he said!! "buy a ford focus" I took my ford focus to firestone today cause I started hearing a grinding noise they called me like 2 seconds later to tell me that I should park the car & have it towed cause the rear wheel is about to fall off!!!! 34k miles & the wheel bearings are bad!! upon investigation I find that my car has at least 7 recalls!!! of course rear wheel bearings are one of them!
not to mention the letter ford just sent me to let me know the springs are no good but they will not fix them till they break Bk4293 I think we are even now!!!

It is most likely a wheel bearing. Will it fall off....probably not. There is only one instance I have ever heard of a wheel falling off because of a wheel bearing (and it was a Dodge).

34k has little to do with wheel bearings going bad. They tend to go bad faster with the type of roads you drive....plus you have no idea where the previous owner had driven.

there's part of the problem. they just screwed up a friend of mine's car.
a few years back a friend of mine worked there....let's just say they dont have good hiring practices...

the focus is a great car. its had its share of kinks to be worked out but its still a great car for the money. what are your alternatives for the same price? some crappy korean car or a suzuki?

i was very impressed driving around in my buddy's ZX3 which over-turned my ruling that Ford cars suck. it led me into checking out the CSVT which i then bought. if i had money to buy a toy, id love to buy a FSVT and mod it like crazy!
be glad they're fixing it. it sucks when they dont anymore.
