Consumer Description

2008 FORD F 350 FX4 EQUIPPED WITH FORD'S PREMIUM WHEELS, THE PLASTIC FULL SIZE WHEEL COVERS ARE FALLING OFF OF THE WHEELS THAT THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. THE TAPE THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC WHEEL COVERTO THE STEEL WHEEL IS FAILING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEEL COVERS WILL FLY OFF AND HIT SOMEONE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THESE WHEEL COVERS. 1 COVER HAS ALREADY FALLEN OFF AND THE OTHER 3 ARE BECOMING LOOSE LIKE THE FIRST. I CALLED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER AND HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER. BOTH FORD & THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF IT'S WARRANTY PERIOD (I PURCHASED FORD'S BEST EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED; SAME ANSWER) AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY DID EVEN LOOK AT THE WHEELS. *TR
