| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The wheels developed stress cracks within five months of my owning the vehicle. the dealer and a ford representative each "looked" at the wheels without removing them from the vehicle and informed me that the stress craking was caused by an "over torquing" of the lug nuts. i have only had the car six months and i have never had the front wheels removed. i do not believe the cracks are a result of "over-torquing" and i am seeking any additional failure information of my description. i also believe the stress crack will continue to worsen and eventually fail.*ak |
