2008 Lincoln MKZ Wheels Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1027932
Internal NHTSA #	10555945
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	LINCOLN
Model	MKZ
Model Year	2008
File date	01/04/11
Component	WHEELS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	These wheels are identified as 17" 8 spoke machined & painted aluminum wheel which began to corrode and peel around 2011. They leak air around the contact of the rim and tire because of the corrosion. This condition requires having the wheel taken apart and corrosion removed then reassembling the wheel and re-balancing the tire assembly before re-installing back on to car. Depending on several conditions as climate and temperature and when tire assembly last serviced air loss varies from 10% to more than 30% from manufacturer 's suggested tire inflation pressure. I have averaged servicing these four tires at least 6 times or more a year for the last three years. I have contacted both the car dealer and ford motor co. The dealer says it is up to ford to put out a recall for replacement wheel. The dealer agrees there is a problem, but ford motor co. Does not consider this a problem. I consider this condition a safety violation not to mention the out of pocket cost to continuously have these tires repaired. It affects my gas mileage, tire longevity, and most importantly safety. Please help those of us with this situation. Thank you.

What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
