Consumer Description

BOTH OF THE FRONT RIMS DEVELOPED CRACKS. THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN AN INSPECTION TO FIND A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM TIRE AREA. FORD WAS CONTACTED(LOCAL DEALER AND NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICES) THEY DO NOT SEEM CONCERNED AND WERE UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE RIMS. I FEEL THAT 2 (TWO) RIMS CRACKING ON ONE VECHICLE WITHOUT ANY APPARENT CAUSE MAY BE A SIGN OF FAULTY RIMS AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO ALL OWNERS OF LIKE RIMS.*AK
