Default took car in for tsb

at 11900 miles i took my 2005 in for a TSB as it was making a knocking sound when you make a sharp turn. Plansation Ford of Ft. Laduderdale Fl. replaced the front end bushing,, (Oh when i changed the oil a week before that the tires were fine) now , Today i was changing the oil again and the front tires were worn out on the inside tread shot ,,gone to the cord. miles 13756 1800 miles sence the dealer changed the bushings,, I had ask if the front alinement was done after the bushings,,was nold not needed with this TSB,, and took the car in today and was told go get you car alined and rotate the tires the A---H--- has the nerve to say go get you car alined when the caused the problem.. any way if you go for this TSB make suer they do the alinement or blow their braines out. now ford will never see me again,, anyone want a 2005 6 cyl cheap i'll go buy a Honda..

That's right - Hondas never need any wheel alignments. Oh wait, they need 4-wheel alignments instead of 2.

It happens. I don't think that's a valid reason to sell a car.

Oh well. Have fun with the Honda. We'll remember you every time we see the same bland, uninspired designs over and over on the highway.

Yeah, pretty much. I'd go to a different dealer for any future service.

Seriously, though, it sucks to hear you were treated that way.

Better sell it. If that incident set you off that much, lease Toyota or Honda with maintenance included. Sometimes mechanics (humans) make mistakes and yeah, some are real "A" holes. I'd try another dealer first, but if you're that upset slap a sign on it and take the best offer.
