| Description of the problem | I have a king ranch 2006 f-250 sd with 20" alum rim's and this is the second time in 8 months a major crack between the spokes was discovered. The tire was almost completely flat was cause the vehicle to pull hard to the right and when pulled over, i discovered a 6" long crack about 1/16" wide. Went back to dealer again and he said the same thing, "i cannot help and ford does not think this is a problem. Your agency needs to start an investigation before someone dies due to ford not wanting to admit they have a major problem. |
