Wheel Problems of Lincoln Mkz Hybrid

Aluminum hood and wheels are corroding and mileage is beyond original factory warranty and not covered under the certified pre-owned warranty. On the hood there are several spots where the paint is bubbling. This is a well-document issue with Ford products since they started putting aluminum parts on their vehicles. On the wheels, corrosion is appearing under the top coat. The vehicle has less than 66,000 miles on it. These many not be safety issues, but it is a big problem that Ford/Lincoln should be helping their customers with.

The 2016 Mkz Hybrid does not come with a spare tire. This was not told to me when the car was purchased. The absence of a spare tire puts one in danger. This should be well documented at time of purchase. They provide a spray can of junk that is useless unless you have a pin in your tire. Any damage to the tire and you are stranded until you can get to a tire outlet that has the tire you need. It is a disgrace that on a luxury vehicle this absence puts you at risk. Can you imagine being stranded on open highway at 2 in the morning. If triple aaa comes you need to be put on a flatbed because they do not have a tire to change. This is a dangerous and serious matter that needs to be addressed by Lincoln motor company.

At 10,740 miles, we replaced two tires already due to bulges in the tire sidewall. Lincoln is not addressing this serious defect of low tire pressure and air leaks in the tires. This is an elevated safety risk as vehicle becomes unstable and hard to control at low air pressure. A new car should not have this problem, but several similar complaints were noted online. Please investigate this safety hazard as michelin says it is not their problem and Lincoln blames the customer hitting potholes which we don't even recall happening. A video online illustrates how tire sidewall bulges can occur easily with under inflated tires if the car runs over a curb or hits a pothole. We are senior citizens, 72 and 67, and drive carefully, typically below the speed limit. We have never had this experience with any cars during our lifetime. Please perform an investigation to halt this serious defect that the manufacturer will not acknowledge. Lives are in danger due to difficulty in control and an unstable vehicle with under inflated tires. A blowout could be fatal.

Today was the 7th tire that needed to be replaced since leasing this car since January 2014. These low profile tires are terrible. I feel this is unacceptable. I was offered a tire warranty which I regret I did not purchase. Regardless, this is a safety issue. The car does not come with a spare. I feel someone could end up stranded somewhere. Each time was either a small pothole, rock, minor bump in the road, or it just went flat!.

On November 25, 2014 , a right rear tire was repaired by the local Lincoln dealership. On January 8, 2015 a second tire blew out causing a near fatal accident. It blew in 20 degree weather with such force as to lift the vehicle off the ground and spin it in the air.

I have a 2013 Lincoln Mkz Hybrid with 27,400 miles. It has michelin primacy mxm4 245/45r18 tires. One is completely worn out (bald) and 3 are worn and unsafe. I am having to replace all four tires due to them being unsafe and worn.
