| Description of the problem | The wheels on my truck are cracking and breaking. They are 20x8 inch forged aluminum factory installed oem equipment. This is the second wheel i have had to replace at a very expensive cost. The first one i thought may have been a fluke as my truck has never been impacted at the tire or wheel areas. I have done a little research and i have found many complaints from many truck owners. This is a very serious and dangerous issue. I have been involved in the automotive industry for many years and i have not seen anything like this issue. This isuue can and will happen while vehicle is parked or moving, more probable while in motion. The first time this happened the truck had 80000 miles on it. |
