2017 FORD EXPLORER Wheels Problems

Rear toe links, rear alignment is off. Dealership said they can’t fix it. My tires are wearing incredibly fast.

Rear toe joint arm used to replace recalled rear toe joint arm is causing the tires in the back to tilt leaving vehicle at risk of roll over accident from tire, axel, or suspention failure. The suv becomes increasingly unstable and difficult to control. The mechanic said it was a miracle that my suv had not flipped. When I took this issue to the dealership, the service manager was aware of the issue and had a "high percentage" of cars that had the recall service done returning with the same problem. Despite this information being passed on to ford by its dealership service departments, Ford is continuing to place drivers at risk by using the toe joint arm that is too small. Pictures: rear vs front tires purchased same time, allign.before new toe joint placed with report, then after, recall work done and , allign report, toe joint arms used...

Thr manufacturer did not put rear tire links on my vehicle. I purchased brand new tires 3 months ago and my two rear tires are already showing sings of wear and tear. I went to a mechanic to see if I could get a full alignment on my vehicle. When they started on thr alignment, they informed me that they could not proceed because the vehicle was missing the manufacturer rear toe links. If I decided to let them order rear toe links and do the alignment, it would cost me almost $600. This is completely unacceptable for ford to drop the ball again and we the consumer are stuck paying for something that they should.

I bought the SUV Used in January/2023 from a Ford dealer. It had brand new tires on it. 6 months later and the outer tread of the tires are bald, that’s when I realized the toe angle was pointed in. I went to Discount Tire to get new tires and an alignment. They put new tires on and then they told me they couldn’t do the alignment on my truck because it has a recalled part on the rear suspension. The toe angle rods are not adjustable. He showed me what they are supposed to look like on his computer for him to do the alignment. He then proceeded to tell me how dangerous it was because if the rod cracks, my wheel will fall off. I called ford, but they are claiming there is no recall for that part, but that can’t be true.

Tow links from my vehicle is going bad. Vehicle fish tails a little on the highway when traveling on uneven surface. Knuckles have been replaced and Link-Stabilizer on both side by my mechanic. Ford STATED they replaced in May 2022 (never did) I had the original parts that came with vehicle. Ford refuses to reimburse. I'm concern now that the tow links are going bad and vehicle will soon be unsafe to drive.

Need a new transmission when I need to press the gas it won’t go it like I’m just pushing the gas in park

When I had to drive with 1 inch of snow on the road it felt like my rear end was going to come out of my car. My rear end was all over the place and has been getting worse when driving in snow and rain. This is putting my children life at risk especially since there's a recall on my vehicle and there's still no parts to fix it. I want a rental car until someone gets this issues fixed! Someone is seriously going to be injured or this problem and the recall that can't be fixed. I'm scared for my safety to even drive it in the snow or rain but I have to work. This is a huge issue and I'm not sure why this is still an ongoing issue

The right front passenger tire fell off while driving.

While driving on the freeway, I heard a clunking noise from the rear of my vehicle and immediately started to fishtail violently back and forth across all 3 lanes of the highway narrowly avoiding crashing into other cars on the highway while avoiding spinning or flipping the vehicle. I was able to gain control of the vehicle while it whipsawed back and forth with all four tires screeching and smoking slowing down to navigate to the shoulder out of harms way. It was one of if not the most frightening experiences I ever had as a motor vehicle operator. On inspection, I observed the rear left wheel was loosely connected to the drive train and severly out of alignment by ~30% which was what caused the vehicle to begin to fishtail and whipsaw so violently at freeway speed which at the time of mechanical failure was approximately 70 miles per...

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STREET 25-35 MPH JULY 30, 2020, ON A SUNNY DAY,MY CAR RIGHT PASSENGER TIRE CAME OFF. ON A CITY STREET. CAUSING MY CAR TO HIT THE CURB. THERE WAS NO BODY DAMAGE EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR TIRE.

REAR BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED AND WORE BRAKE PADS ALL THE WAY DOWN. SLIGHT INTERMITTENT SOUND WAS NOTICED WHEN CAR WAS IN MOTION BUT THOUGHT IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE ROOF RACK DETACHMENT THAT WAS PENDING REPAIR. SQUEALING BECAME PERSISTENT AND STOPPED UPON BREAKING, AND STARTED AGAIN AFTER BRAKE RELEASED. UPON IDENTIFYING THIS CORRELATION TOOK THE EXPLORER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS ISSUE IDENTIFIED WAS SEIZED CALIPERS.

LAST NIGHT ONE OF MY HANKOOK S1 NOBLE ON MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE 405 FREEWAY AND REQUIRED ME TO PULL OVER AND CHANGE THE TIRE. AT 21,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE/ TIRES THE MECHANIC SHOP TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE BASICALLY BALD AND HAD RUBBER EVENLY ERODING (WHICH INDICATES NOT AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE). THE TIRES WERE ALSO ROTATED AND SUPPOSED TO LAST 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER COMPLAINS ON THESE TIRES THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET BUT NOT RECALL HAS BEEN INITIATED BY HANKOOK. THEY HAVE ADVISED THEY WILL GIVE A PRO-RATED DISCOUNT ON NEW TIRES, WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE AND NEGLIGENT..

MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. IT WAS OUTFITTED WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLES 255/50R20 TIRES WHEN WE PURCHASED IT NEW IN DEC 2017. THE TREAD HAS WORN DOWN TO 4/32NDS AND IS DISINTEGRATING-YOU CAN PEEL LITTLE BITS OF RUBBER OFF OF THEM. THEY ARE ALL WEARING EVENLY SO IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH LACK OF ROTATION/ALIGNMENT THERE ARE MOVIES ON YOUTUBE AND OTHER REVIEWS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HANKOOK IS ALSO AWARE THIS IS AN ISSUE AND IS DOING A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM WHERE THEY WILL GIVE YOU A PRORATED DEAL ON NEW HANKOOK TIRES. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE FULLY RECALLED AND HANKOOK NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO GIVE PEOPLE A PRORATED REFUND TO PURCHASE OTHER BRANDS OF TIRES NOT NEW VERSIONS OF THEIR PIECE OF CRAP PRODUCT. WE ARE NEEDING TO SPEND $1000 ON NEW TIRES FOR...

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR TIRE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED ALL TIRES REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 27000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50000 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR. SHE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT AT ALL. THE TIRES SPIN IN WET CONDITIONS DUE TO THE ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE TIRES. SHE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR SLIDE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. SHE SAID SHE WAS WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE CAR INFRONT OF HER. THESE ARE THE HANKOOK NOBLE 2 TIRES. HANKOOK SAID THEY WOULD PRO RATE THE COST OF NEW TIRES. HANKOOK KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND LET FORD KNOW THIS IS WHAT THEY WOULD DO. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY LEASE IS DUE IN 7 MONTHS. THE TIRES SHOULD AT LEAST LAST 3 YEARS. I AM AT THE POINT OF TELLING MY WIFE TO...

I RECENTLY FAILED NY STATE INSPECTION DUE TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON MY FORD EXPLORER 2017 WITH 24,500 MILES. THE HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE HAVE A SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PREMATURE WEAR, HOWEVER NO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL SERVICE MY VEHICLE EVEN AFTER CONTACTING HANKOOK AND PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW KNOWN POORLY MANUFACTURED TIRES ON OUR ROADS.

2017 FORD EXPLORER: ALL 4 ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES (HANKOOK 255/50 R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2) EXPERIENCED ACCELERATED TREAD WEAR. TREAD DEPTH IS DOWN TO 4/32 AT 30,000 MILES.

PURCHASED 2017 FORD EXPLORER DECEMBER 2017 WITH ORIGINAL HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 255/50R20 105H TIRES. HAVE 17,000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED AT EACH OIL CHANGE; BEEN HAVING EXTREME TREADWEAR AND WAS TOLD BY THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THAT ITHE TIRES ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACED. DEALER SUGGESTED TO CONTACT HANKOOK DIRECTLY BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES. I CONTACTED HANKOOK CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES ARE BAD BUT THEY HAVE TO BE 4/32 TO GET A PRO RATED DISCOUNT, AT THIS TIME I HAVE 1-3/32, 2- 4/32 AND 1- 5/32, THE FORD DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE NEW CAR WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE AND HANKOOK NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF IT. MEANWHILE, NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE BAD TIRES AT ONLY 17000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE EXPLORER IS RATED ON TOP FOR ROLLOVERS WITH A BLOWOUT... THIS IS...

I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED SUV AT THE WINNIPEG,CANADA FORD 4S (MID-TOWN FORD SALES LIMITED ) IN JULY 2017. TIRE MODEL: 255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FOUR TIRES ABRASION MORE SERIOUS THAN OTHER VEHICLES UNDER NORMAL USE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FOUR TIRES OF THE CAR HAD DIFFERENT PEELING SKIN PHENOMENA, AND THE TIRES HAD A SLOW LEAKING AIR PHENOMENON IN JULY 2019. AFTER THAT, I NEED TO REPLENISH THE AIR OF TIRES 2-3 DAYS REGULARLY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE MID-TOWN FORD SALES WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER DISCOVERING THIS PROBLEM, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIRE, AND LET ME CONTACT HANKOOK TIRE MANUFACTURERS TO FEEDBACK THE PROBLEM BY MYSELF. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL THE HANKOOK CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FROM JULY, BUT THERE IS NOBODY ANSWERS. I...

TIRES ARE DEEMED WORN OUT AT 16000 MILES.

I TOOK MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT WITH 23,800 MILES TO BE INSPECTED TODAY AND IT FAILED INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES ARE SEVERELY WORN. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE PLACE AND THEY CONCURRED. THE TIRES ARE HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2. THERE IS ALMOST NO TREAD LEFT AND THE THEY ARE SCALLOPING AND FLAKING PIECES OF RUBBER.

HANKOOK BRAND TIRES ON FORD EXPLORER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 SETS OF HANOOK TIRES ON MY FORD EXPLORER AT 25,00 AND 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES FOR LOW TRED ON TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE A 70,000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE WAS NO CAUSE FOR TIRE WEAR, I.E. OUT OF ALIGNMENT.

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2017 FORD EXPLORER WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1NOBLE2 FRONT TIRES THAT ARE SHREDDING BOTH ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PARAMETER OF THE TIRES. THE DELAMINATION IS MIGRATING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE TIRE AS WELL WITH FLAPS AND CHUNKS OF RUBBER SOME OVER 10MM ARE SEPARATING FROM THE SUBSTRATE. THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 27,000 MILES ON THEM AND LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE 50,000+. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VULCANIZATION PROBLEM LIKE THIS IN MY CAREER. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS RUBBER COMPOUND REMINISCENT OF THE FORD FIRESTONE DEBACLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THE DEALER SEAMS TO BE INEFFECTIVE IN GETTING A CORRECTIVE ACTION IN PLACE. THE DEALER IS SKALNEK FORD IN LAKE ORION, MI AND WAS NOTIFIED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 17TH WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING MY CAR BACK ON MONDAY AUGUST 19TH AT WHICH TIME...

HANCOOK 255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES WORN TO POINT OF STEEL BELT SHOWING WITH UNDER 20K MILES. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT LANDERS FORD IN COLLIERVILLE, TN ON 6/11/2019 BECAUSE I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN ONE OF MY TIRES AND NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN WHO COMPLETED THE SERVICES TOLD ME THAT I NEED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE THE TIRES ONLY HAD 28,222 MILES ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES THAT FORD PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME (HANKOOK) WERE WEARING OUT BEFORE THEY NORMALLY WOULD. (MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TIRES HAVE A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM.) I ASKED WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES AT FORD BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING HUNG UP ON DURING THE CONVERSATION. ONE OF...

WE NOTICED SEVERE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON THE FACTORY TIRES ON OUR 2017 FORD EXPLORER. THE SUV CAME WITH HANKOOK 255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES WHICH STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF PREMATURE WEAR WITHIN 15,000 MILES. NOW ONE IS COMPLETELY BALD AT 33,042 MILES AND THE OTHERS ARE PEELING/CRACKING. WE MADE SURE THE TIRES HAD SUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE, AND ROTATED THEM AT EVERY OIL CHANGE, YET THEY STILL KEPT WEARING. THAT ONE TIRE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY BALD SINCE 30,000 MILES (ZERO TREAD AND WEAR INDICATOR BAND SHOWING). WE SAW THE NOTICE UNDER NHTSA ID: 10137109 (MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: SSM 47195) AND MULTIPLE REPORTS OF BLOWOUTS. WE CALLED FORD ON 6-25-2019 AND FORD TOLD US THEY WOULD COVER 30% OF THE COST BUT WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME KIND OF TIRE. WE CHOSE TO GET ANOTHER BRAND OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. THESE TIRES ARE GOING TO GET...

EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 255/50R20 THAT HAVE EXCESSIVE EARLY TREAD WEAR AND SCALLOPING/FLAKING ALONG THE EDGES. CAR HAD LESS THAN 16,000 MILES WHEN WEAR NOTICED. HAD TIRES ROTATED AND ALIGNED AGAIN TO ENSURE NOT CAUSED BY THESE ISSUES. NOW WORN TO THE POINT OF UNSAFE. ONLY DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD EXPLORER XLT AND AFTER 20,000 MILES I WAS TOLD THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AGREE WITH THE SERVICE MAN AND AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THEM. I LOOKED AT THE TIRES, HANKOOK, VENOUS S1NOBLE 2, 255/50R20 105H AND SAW THE DOT DATE WAS 002881, 2012.. IF I'M READING THIS CORRECT THE TIRES WERE FIVE YEARS OLD UPON BUYING THE VEHICLE AND THEY ARE NOW SEVEN YEARS OLD WITH 20,000 MILES ON THEM. I BELIEVE THEY ARE UNSAFE AND WERE PROBABLE UNSAFE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE

ON APRIL 19, 2019 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FORD IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THEM. I'M LEASING A 2017 FORD EXPLORE WITH HANCOCK TIRES. THESE HANCOCK TIRES ARE STANDARD ON ALL THE FORD EXPLORES. AT MILE 3000 I RECEIVED A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT ON MY PASSENGER REAR TIRE. AND WHILE 20,000 I NOTICED THE TREADING ON THE TIRES WERE VERY LOW, AND AT 25,000 THE RADIOS BEGAN TO SHOW. THIS IS WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE FORD DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THIS TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL FOUR HAD A TREADING THAT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. THE PROBLEM IS FORD IS CHARGING THE CONSUMER THE COST OF LABOR THE COST OF TAXES AND 70% THE COST OF THE TIRE. I BELIEVE WHEN THERE'S A DEFECTIVE TIRE OR ANY COMPONENT IN THE CAR THE SALES VENDOR...

BEFORE LEAVING FOR FLORIDA I HAD MY 2017 EXPLORER SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS APPROX 16,000 MILES AND TIRES WERE CHECKED TO BE FINE. THESE TIRES ARE HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE TIRES. FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS LATER 18,000 MILES, TREAD IS WORN AND THEY ARE CHIPPING AND PEALING AND I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY TIRES ARE SHREDDING AND FALLING APART. THE CAR HAS 21000 MILES ONLY. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED TWO TIMES ALREADY. HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE MENAGER WAS NO HELP. WANTEDME TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES. ABSOULTELY RIDICULOUS AND HE WAS RUDE. I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD EXPLORER WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 105H TIRES IN SEPT 2017. I ONLY HAVE 14400 MILES ON THESE TIRES. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INFLATED CORRECTLY, AND MAINTAINED. TODAY, MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE TIRES ARE SHREDDING. BASICALLY THE RUBBER IS PEELING OFF THE TIRE IN CHUNKS. FORD SAYS THEY DON'T WARRANTY TIRES, AND HANKOOK HAS THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! WHAT A SAD DAY!

THE TIRES ON MY FORD EXPLORER WE'RE COMPLETELY BALD WITH LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON THEN. I DRIVE SLOW AND AM SAFE MINDED DRIVER. WHEN THE TIRES APPEARED TO BE CUT I TOOK THE EXPLORER BACK TO THE DEALER AND TWO OTHER TIRE DEALERS. ALL SAID THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD BECOME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME TIRES ON THIS SAME VEHICLE ON HERE. FORD DID NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THE TIRES.

FORD EXPLORERS, SUCH AS MINE, ARE EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES, ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER HANKOOK. THIS TYPE OF TIRE PROVIDED BY FORD AND HANKOOK HAVE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND DURABILITY WHICH NOT ONLY IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF. MOREOVER, SIGNIFICANT FISCAL CONCERNS BASED UPON REPLACEMENT OF SUCH TIRES DUE TIRES DEVELOPING CRACKS, CRACKS, AND CHIPS IN TIRE SIDEWALL WHICH RESULTS IN RAPID LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE THAT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASE LIKELY OF AN ACCIDENT AND/OR SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE PERSONALLY SENT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT DUE TO ISSUES WITH AFFECTED TIRE DAMAGE. HANKOOK MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANUFACTURING AND SELLING PRODUCTS WITH KNOWN DEFECTS. MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE...

MY 2017 EXPLORER LIMITED (11042 MILES DRIVEN SINCE NEW AS OF TODAY ) AND PURCHASED NEW DECEMBER 2017 FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES, ARE VIBRATING AT ALL SPEEDS AND WON`T HOLD AIR PRESSURE LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS. DURING INSPECTION, MINUTE HAIRLINE CRACKS WERE DETECTED ON ALL 4 TIRES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES NOT EXCEEDING 50 MILES RADIUS. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AT 5000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES ASAP. THIS TIRES SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASAP.

HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRE CHIPPING/PEELING AT 5000 MILES. FRONT TWO TIRES WORSE THAN REAR. ROTATED TIRES AND REPLACED THE TWO THAT WERE ON THE FRONT THROUGH THE DEALER. NOW THE THE TIRES HAVE FRONT TIRES HAVE 10,000 MILES AND ARE CHIPPING/PEELING.

OEM HANKOOK TIRES ON 2017 FORD EXPLORER: WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON MY 2017 EXPLORER, IT BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE AT MUCH LOWER SPEEDS THAN WHEN NEW. THE TIRES ARE OEM, HANKOOK, VENTUS S1 NOBLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO FUGATE FORD, WHO SAID THEY RECENTLY PROCESSED TWO OTHER VEHICLES WITH BAD HANKOOK TIRES. ON CLOSER INSPECTION WITH DOUG AT FUGATE, YOU COULD SEE THE TIRE TREAD WAS RIPPING AWAY FROM ITSELF ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. FUGATE TOOK PICTURES AND PHONED HANKOOK. FUGATE CALLED ME TO SAY THAT BECAUSE THE TIRES HAD 6/32 TREAD REMAINING, THEY WOULD NOT PROCESS THE CLAIM. HANKOOK NEEDED THE TREAD WEAR TO BE 4/32 OR LESS. IN MY VIEW, THAT'S RIDICULOUS... THESE HANKOOK TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE, WHETHER AT 6/32 OR 4/32. TODAY, I HAD ALL FOUR DEFECTIVE TIRES REPLACED.

2017 FORD EXPLORER EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 105H TIRES, SIZE: 255/50R20. CHUNKS AND PIECES OF THE RUBBER ARE DETACHING, PEELING, AND FLAKING FROM THE TIRE TREAD SURFACE. THE TIRES HAVE 13,100 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE OEM FROM FORD. THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FORD COMPLAINT WEB SITES. DOT DATE IS (1416) THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

I LEASE A2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 20,000 MILES. I WENT TO FLOOD FORD DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS ADVISED MY HANKOOK TIRES WERE WEARING RAPIDLY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE CERTAIN TIRES. I INQUIRED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY WOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY CONTACTED HANKOOK AND THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 500 DOLLARS TOWARDS A NEW SET. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME THE CONSUMER DUE TO THE FACT HANKOOK ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THEIR PRODUCT AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 (EXCLUDED FROM RECALL) ARE WEARING EXTRAORDINARY FAST AND THE RUBBER IS STARTING TO PULL APART, FLAKE AWAY. CHUCKS OF RUBBER ARE COMING OFF OF THE TIRE AND LEAVING HOLES THAT APPEAR TO BE ABOUT 1/4 INCH DEEP . THIS WILL BE OUR SECOND SET OF TIRES WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES.

2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. BASICALLY THE ORIGINAL HANKOOK VENTUS TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR HAVE WORN INCREDIBLY FAST. 15000 CURRENTLY AND THEY ARE ALMOST BALD ON THE EDGES. DEALER CLAIMED THAT ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. TIRES ALWAYS INFLATED AND ROTATED. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THESE TIRE ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR THIS SIZE VEHICLE. FORD HOPES THAT CONSUMERS ARE STUPID AND JUST BUY NEW TIRES. THESE TIRES WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED. FORD SHOULD NOT USE THESE TIRES. ACTUALLY COME TO THINK OF IT MY 2018 VW GTI HAS THE SAME TIRES AND I HAD A SIDEWALL FAIL WITHIN 300 MILES OF PURCHASING. HANKOOK IS GARBAGE!!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS 23,000 AND THE FRONT HANKOOK TIRES ARE BALD AND FLAKING OFF.

CALLED MALLOY FORD IN WINCHESTER VA AND SAID NEEDED TO CONTACT A HANKOOK DEALER NO ONE WILL HELP AND ACCORDING TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY THAT COMES WITH NEW CAR WOULD ONLY COVER SIXTY PERCENT OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENT AFTER 12,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE IS 21,500 WITH 6/32 THREAD. FORD HAS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND DOING NOTHING TO HELP EITHER IS HANKOOK . TIRES ARE A ROAD HAZARD AND COULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED.

HANKOOK TIRES (255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2) THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE ARE SHOWING UNUSUAL CRACKING AND CHIPPING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 11,400 MILES AND IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5 MILES PER DAY AND MOSTLY IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION AND SERVICE TECHNICIAN WARNED ME THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING AND CHIPPING. EACH TIRE HAS VISIBLE CHUNKS COMING OUT OF THE TREADS. I CALLED FORD AND HANKOOK TODAY AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT A FULL WEEK FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS INSPECTED. OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT FORD/HANKOOK HASN'T TAKEN ACTION TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE TIRES.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE LEFT REAR TIRE RAPIDLY DEFLATED. INSTALLED THE FACTORY SPARE TIRE. NOTED A 2" LONG SLICE ACROSS THE TREAD OF THE TIRE. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC FOR REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT PUNCTURED. THE TIRE FAILED. THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE IN SIMILAR CONDITION. YOU COULD PICK PIECES OF RUBBER OUT OF THE TIRE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. TIRES ARE 1 YEAR OLD AND HAD 20,000 MILES ON THEM. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES, SIZE: 255/50R20. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED A $196 CREDIT PER TIRE FOR A TIRE OF MY CHOICE. I HAD TO PAY FOR LABOR. IT THE FAILED TIRE HAD BEEN ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD EXPLORER WITH 5500 MILES AND NOTICED THE TIRES ARE HAVING UNEVEN WEAR THEY ARE HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 IN 255/50/20 5MN1AH 1316 THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THESE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY/ TIRE WARRANTY AS IT STATES FROM 1 MILE TO 12K MILES IT IS COVERED 100% IN THE MANUAL AND HANKOOK WANTS TO PRO RATE THE TIRES FOR A DEFECT THAT IS CAUSED MY THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS SHAME ON THEM

2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT WITH HANKOOK 255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES ARE CHIPPING/CUTTING AND WEARING PREMATURELY. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,500 MILES.

TIRES THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE HAVE CHUNKS OF TREAD PEELING OFF /CUTTING FROM NORMAL DRIVING OF 9100 MILES AND 11 MONTHS. THIS PRESENTS SEVERAL HAZARDS SUCH AS VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION AND POTENTIAL BLOWOUT / ROLLOVERS OTHER SIZES THESE SAME HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO SIMILAR FAILURES. THESE ARE 255/50 R 20 SIZE.

MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 19,000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE ABOUT BALD. TOOK MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER. MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HANKOOK TIRES ON FORD EXPLORERS. HANKOOK OR FORD NEED TO STEP UP BEFORE MAJOR PROBLEMS OCCCUR. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACING TIRES THAT ARE RATED FOR 50,000 MILES WHEN THEY ARE UNDER 20,000. HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY WITH CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE AND TIRE ROTATIONS. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH MY DEALER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN I NOTICED UNUSUALLY EXTENSIVE WEAR.

RE:HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 255/50R20 105H-ON 01/20/18, I WAS ADVISED BY A NEW FRIEND TO HAVE MY TIRES CHECKED OUT. HE NOTICED THE PIECES OF TIRE CHIPPING OFF AND WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I TOOK MY CAR TO OLIN MOTT, A LONGTIME & REPUTABLE AREA TIRE STORE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF "PEELING" & RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD FIRST PURCHASED IT. ON 01/26/18 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP CAME BACK & SAID THAT THEY'D HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT W/ THE TIRE MANUFACTURER & THEY'D TAKE PICTURES OF ALL 4 TIRES & WOULD LET ME KNOW WHAT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER SAID NEEDED TO BE DONE. 6 DAYS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP CALLS STATING THAT HANKOOK TIRES ADVISED THAT ALL 4 TIRES NEED...
