Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 FORD ESCAPE XLT . I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE RIMS, NOT THE TIRES. IT SEEMS THAT ON EVERY SINGLE RIM, THE PAINT ON THE RIM IS BUBBLING UP. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BUBBLING ALL IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS.THE PAINT BUBBLING IS FORMING IN THE CENTER OF THE RIM, RIGHT AROUND THE FORD CENTER CAP. UNDER THE BUBBLING, IT APPEARS THAT RUST IS FORMING. THIS IS A 2006 FORD ESCAPE WITH ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS DUE TO THE NY WEATHER. I HAVE CONTACTED MY FORD DEALERSHIP. MY ESCAPE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY EVEN TOOK A LOOK AT THE RIMS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE PAINT IS BUBBLING ON ALL RIMS , ALL IN THE SAME SPOT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THE RIMS. THEREFORE, I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW RIMS FOR MY 2006 FORD ESCAPE, WHICH WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR
