Reported to Nexen by making an account and filing a warranty request which they denied. They keep saying we are lying to deflect blame. We have the tire, it could be inspected by their preferred tire shop but they would rather be mad and yell at us.…
2007 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS
Filed Dec 27, 2025
Called Walker Ford in Clearwater, FL on 12/27/2025 at 09:35 am.

They informed me it was repaired, but it has failed again. According to my research, regardless if its been performed or not, Ford is still liable to fix it again. A possible loss of steering could result in death or injury if not addressed. My contact info is [XXX] Thanks!…
