| Description of the problem | The wheels on my 2008 lincoln mkz are corroding to the point that the tires are loosing air. I have had to have the tires taken off the wheels several times and cleaned the rim only to have it continue to corrode and leak air again. It is ruining my tires and it is a safety hazard not knowing how quickly the tires will go flat. My mkz has only 48,000 miles and has been properly maintained. I have tried to deal with lincoln, but they are no help. I love my mkz but am very disappointed with lincoln. |
