| Description of the problem | 2007 lincoln mkz v6. The wheel/rims are garbage. They are falling apart, cracks in the metal, finish peeling, around the tire pieces of the rim has fallen off. I can't believe lincoln would use such junk. I have to keep checking the air pressure because the wheels/rims are so torn up. I just bought the car two weeks ago. Lincoln needs to have a recall on these wheels before someone gets killed because of them falling apart. The welds are breaking apart. These wheels/rims are dangerous. |
