NHTSA Complaint #11079912 — 2014 FORD EDGE

I HAD BEEN DRIVING (TRAVELING NURSE) BACK AND FORTH 3 X WEEKLY TO A NURSING JOB. THE LOW TIRE LIGHT. I AIRED THE TIRE FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL I COULD CARRY IT TO A TIRE SHOP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE RIM. THE RIM WAS REPAIRED. SIX MONTHS LATER THE LOW TIRE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. I CARRY IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE RIM IS CRACKED AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN IT IS SENT OFF FOR REPAIR. FEBRUARY THE LOW TIRE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN WITH THE AIR LOSING 3 - 15 POUNDS OF AIR A DAY (I'M A TRAVELING NURSE) AND MY CAR GOES BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE GUY TELLS ME IT IS A FRACTURE IN THE VERY SAME RIM. HE TELLS ME THAT THE ONLY WAY IT IS FRACTURED IS IF I HIT SOMETHING BUT I HAVEN'T HIT SOMETHING. HE TELLS ME THAT THE BACK TIRE IS PRONE TO BEING FRACTURED AND I TELL HIM I ONLY HAD THE TIRES ROTATED 4 DAYS EARLIER. HE TELLS ME IT WILL COST ME $1400.00 PLUS A NEW TIRE AND I TELL HIM I DON'T HAVE THAT. I'VE SEEN THEM ON AMAZON FOR $400. HE TELLS ME HE WILL HAVE TO CHARGE ME FOR A NEW TIRE. I TELL HIM MY TIRES HAVE ROAD HAZARD SOMEWHERE ELSE. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BEEN ON MY CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. THIS RIM HAS NOW BEEN FRACTURED TWICE AND FORD WILL NOT HONOR IT'S OWN WARRANTY. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A NEARLY 60 YEAR OLD NURSE DRIVING 100 MILES TO CARE FOR SOMEONE DYING WALKING OUT TO A FLAT TIRE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
