| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My front driver side wheel was making a clunking noise. thought it was something inside. i took it to a les swabb tire dealer to have it looked at. the reason for the noise was a cracked rim, about 6 inches long. they said this is not supposed to happen, very dangerous. it costed me $45.00 to replace the rim. they suggested to look into other reports. on your web site i found several reports of others having the same problem, some had to replace all 4 rims. they said if this cracked all around my tire would of fell off. scary thought for my family and other drivers on the highways,etc. i called ford to report this and requested them to replace all 4 rims. they refused to take responcibility for this. tried to blame it on my tires and my driving. tires are all new and driving shouldn't crack the rim like it did. i think it is sad they are not concerned nor care this could cause a fatal crash. i am going to call king 5 news. i am not comfortable driving my van now. this should be a recall, dangerous. please make ford take responcibility for this, before a fatal crash if has not happened already. |
