I will preface this by saying I am a 50 year old mom. I got my car 9/19/23. My husband drove it on a trip to his hometown for Founder's day and to visit family. 700 miles. I then drove it on a trip with the kids to the mountains to see the trees and to some other sites. Another 700 miles. The owners manual said 1000 miles for break in. Since I was now at 1400, I took it for an oil change for after break in and they told me I needed 2 new tires. I hadn't even gotten to redline yet, definitely not spinning them. Sure enough, the rears were wore except for the inside edges. So I took it back to them again and asked to check the alignment. They said they couldn't get it on their rack. They hooked it to a quick check that showed it was out. Then told me it wasn't even a street legal car and the alignment was set up for drifting and it would just wear tires. I am now about to show cords, so I can't drive it. Haven't even made a payment and I am needing $1300 in tires. These should have lasted at least 5k miles. I took it to a tire store, they hooked it to an actual alignment rack and it is nearly a degree and a half toed in in the rear. I found another dealer that can fix the alignment tomorrow, but it still has no tires now because someone screwed it up at factory or shipping. I want to find a regional rep to show, and at this point, I think I need to tow it to be safe. @Ford Motor Company any suggestions?
