Explorer Limited V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,137 miles

The magwheel plastic insert hubcap has seperated from the wheel. Dirt has accumulated between the two and throws off the wheel balance. This provides a shake due to vibration, especially at hiway speeds. Dealership will not due anything, except suggesting to replace out of my pocket. Ford uses plastic on components to reduce weight. This is extremely cheap. I have owned 3 explorers and I have had problems with all.
