Wheel problem #1

I had just washed my truck the day before and when I cleaned the wheels there were no issues and then the following day after dropping my kids off at school I noticed a crack in my back driver 20" chrome oem rim that went from one spoke to the other about a inch from the valve stem there is no road rash or damage to the rim to cause it to crack and after seeing it I googled it and it seems to be a commen issues and should be felt with its a major safety issue not only for the persons in the vehicle but also for the surrounding motorists and I contacted Ford about the issues and was told that they don't care and will not do anything about it I have photos that can be sent and also have the rim that I think should be tested so that a recall can happen to get this safety issue fixed before someone is hurt or killed because of it.

Wheel problem #2

I would like to officially submit a complaint about our Ford f250 super duty truck. There is something seriously wrong with it and the Ford dealership has been unable to fix it. We have had the same issue with it for the last few years and the issue has not been resolved! we are experiencing turbulent wobbling with this truck and I can assure you this is not normal! the last incident occurred 2 days ago on may 26, 2013! I have children and feel that our lives were especially in danger when we rode in this truck as we thought this issue was resolved and no longer existed. As we were driving on the interstate highway we drove over an uneven section of the highway and our truck suddenly started shaking dangerously out of control! thankfully my husband was able to control the steering wheel and stepped on the brake to slow it down, otherwise who knows what would have happened! there was traffic everywhere and we were lucky enough not to have an accident! then it happened again a few hours later when we again drove over an uneven section of the interstate. I have experienced enough of these threatening episodes and I am very concerned as this is absolutely not normal and I can honestly say there is something very wrong with this vehicle. This is a safety issue and people can and will lose their lives over this if this is not resolved immediately! I have contacted Ford headquarters to submit a formal complaint and they merely told me to continue working with the dealership that has unresolved my issue. I trust that you will take this complaint seriously as lives are at stake because of this issue.

Wheel problem #3

Going along around 55 to 60 mph and run across very mild bump and the front wheels will begin to shimmy so bad it jerks the steering wheel back and forth. I have to hit the brakes and slow way down to get it to stop shaking. It is very dangerous feeling and is not tire pressure like Ford claims.
