Consumer Description

THE WHEELS DEVELOPED STRESS CRACKS WITHIN FIVE MONTHS OF MY OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND A FORD REPRESENTATIVE EACH "LOOKED" AT THE WHEELS WITHOUT REMOVING THEM FROM THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE STRESS CRAKING WAS CAUSED BY AN "OVER TORQUING" OF THE LUG NUTS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR SIX MONTHS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THE FRONT WHEELS REMOVED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CRACKS ARE A RESULT OF "OVER-TORQUING" AND I AM SEEKING ANY ADDITIONAL FAILURE INFORMATION OF MY DESCRIPTION. I ALSO BELIEVE THE STRESS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO WORSEN AND EVENTUALLY FAIL.*AK
