The very expensive rims have a large crack in at least one. I took it to the dealership, but of course they are no longer under warranty. I called the Ford customer care unit and they are unable to do anything. When I asked to speak to someone about investigating this as a safety issue, I was told there was no one I could talk to. Many other Ford owners are reporting the same issue and getting the response that there are no recalls and nothing pending. I really feel this is a manufacturing defect with so many occurring and feel it needs to be investigated before someone is killed. I discovered my rim failure right after I returned from a trip to colorado, hauling my camper. If it had failed during this trip I feel certain my son and I would now be dead. Please help us in getting Ford to look into this further. Everyone who has gone to a dealer or called Ford is being told they haven't heard of an issue and this is just not true. . Read more...

I recently had a flat tire on my F-350 pickup. I needed a sledge hammer to remove the tire! I called the dealership where I purchased the truck, still under warranty, and asked them about the problem. They said, we normally beat it off the truck ourselves. So I contacted 2nd dealership to see how they handled it, they said they had to beat the rim off the truck as well. I contacted Ford motor company and asked them if I could bring it in and have them beat the tires and rims off and put some kind of anticease on the rims so they won't rust and freeze on the truck. I explained to her that when I was beating the rim off of my truck I had crawled out from under the truck, it fell off the jack, it cracked my driveway, and I could have been killed. I told Ford this sounded like a pretty dangerous problem, what would they do about the complaint. They referred me to the maintenance guide,to rotate the tires every 5000 miles. It doesn't mention it being dangerous if you don't rotate your tires, just to reduce tire wear rotate the tires every 5000 miles. I think this type of problem should be covered by the warranty. Not the customers expense. I was told to take the truck in and maybe I could work something out with the dealership. I shouldn't have to work it out, bumper to bumper should mean bumper to bumper. Not just what they think should be covered. Apparently a lot of people have been having this problem. If your on the road and have a flat it could cost 2-300 dollars to be towed in,have the tires removed to change the flat. Since the rim has to be beat off the truck. A wheel puller might work, something you don't carry with you when traveling. This puts the consumer in a very hazardous condition. All Ford was interested in was the tire might not wear properly if tires are not rotated. It doesn't mention the rims being froze up because I did not rotate them. There is only 29,000 miles on my vehicle. What do you think? concerned consumer.

I have a 2000 Ford F-350 . I bought it used 6 months ago. I recently had the front right tire losing air. Upon inspection by my mechanic, it was determined that the alloy rim had a stress crack in it. Upon contacting Ford, they said there was no recalls and I would have to replace it at my expense. I have the old rim and digital pictures of it also. This wheel was not damaged in any way, and the crack seems to be from a defective design. The rim did not fail, but had I not noticed the low air pressure in the tire, it may have soon failed. Thank you in advance, robert powell.
