Tpms system fault comes up shortly after key fobs stop working took vehicle to a for dealer for service all they can say is that is the rtm module but they cant be to sure on what it is seem like they dont know whats going on this has happen at two Ford dealers already, research was done and it seem that Ford had this issue with Lincoln mkx.
The car's chrome lug nuts are actually chrome caps over the steel lug nuts and they were all swollen up to the point two tire shops could not take them off without damaging them in autumn of 2017. On January 29, 2018 I bought 20 one piece chrome lug nuts from the auto zone store for $60. 90 as dewey Ford said Ford does not have one piece available, then wrote Ford motor CO. A letter asking for reimbursement. I also told them I had already replaced eight capped nuts on 7/29/2016. Ford denied payment claiming it to be a maintenance item. I paid $34. 24 for replacement capped nuts which I did not make a monetary claim in the letter but I do want them to pay me back for those also. I am claiming Ford knew the capped nuts are an ongoing problem and I need to be paid $95. 14. I do have the bad lug nuts which they or you may examine if wished to do.
Driving on concrete highway at 72 mph. Heard a rumbling sound like a nearby motorcycle coming from the right rear. Car is front wheel drive. Disengaged the cruise control, slowed and pulled to the shoulder. Discovered that the entire tire carcass had come off. Only the sidewalls were still attached to the wheel. Tire had about 10,000 miles on it and was probably at 32 psi cold. Goodyear eagle ls2, 235/45r18 94v.
These low profile tires and rims are terrible. I barely have 35,000 miles on this vehicle and I've had to replace 3 tires due to hitting a pothole or roadwork. It can't withstand regular ware and tear! this vehicle has cost me more money and time wasted from all the recalls, the lifting of the windshield and paint lifting off the front hood.
