NHTSA Complaint #10460001 — 2007 LINCOLN MKZ

WHILE LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY I NOTICED I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2010. I SPENT $800.00 PURCHASING NEW TIRES AND I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL FLAT TIRES AFTER THIS.I WAS TOLD BY THE PLACE WHO SOLD ME THE TIRES THAT MY RIMS WERE CORRODED AND THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I'VE GOTTEN 2 FLAT TIRES SINCE AND I'VE SPENT $200.00 MORE DOLLARS REPLACING TIRES. I HAVE SPENT A TOTAL OF $1000.00 ON TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LINCOLN DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT I COULD SPEND $1,500 ON A NEW SET OF RIMS WHICH IS LUDICROUS. FORD/LINCOLN SHOULD REPLACE ALL RIMS FOR FREE AS A GOODWILL CONSIDERING THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. I EVEN HAD THEM SHAVED DOWN AND CLEANED AND MY TIRES ARE STILL LOOSING AIR PRESSURE AS OF TODAY. *TR
