problem #1

Aug 012005

Explorer 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles
: the contact stated the chrome on the rims is cracking. This has occurred on all four rims and is due to the aluminum underneath corroding causing the chrome to crack. The contact has alerted numerous dealerships and none of which has seen this problem. The manufacturer was alerted and explained there is nothing they can do. However, the contact requested to speak with a manager and waiting for a return call.
