Consumer Description

CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2008 FROM LOCAL FORD/LINCOLN DEALER, DEMPEWOLF FORD, HENDERSON, KY, AND ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND DEALER SERVICED. TIRES BEGAIN TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. WHEN EXAMINED BY PURCELL TIRE, HENDERSON, KY, THEY SAID THAT CHROME WAS FLAKING OFF LEAVING A PITTED SURFACE AND THAT BEAD WOULD NOT SEAL AGAINST PITTED SURFACE. CAR IS EQUIPT WITH OPTIONAL CHROME PLATED 17" WHEELS. TIRES BECOME SERIOUSLY UNDERINFLATED WEEKLY. I HAVE JUST HAD PURCELL APPLY BEAD SEALER BUT THEY SAY IT IS PROBABLY NOT A LONG TERM FIX. THEY SAY THAT ONLY SOLUTION IS NEW WHEELS. *TR
