The very expensive rims have a large crack in at least one. I took it to the dealership, but of course they are no longer under warranty. I called the Ford customer care unit and they are unable to do anything. When I asked to speak to someone about investigating this as a safety issue, I was told there was no one I could talk to. Many other Ford owners are reporting the same issue and getting the response that there are no recalls and nothing pending. I really feel this is a manufacturing defect with so many occurring and feel it needs to be investigated before someone is killed. I discovered my rim failure right after I returned from a trip to Colorado, hauling my camper. If it had failed during this trip I feel certain my son and I would now be dead. Please help us in getting Ford to look into this further. Everyone who has gone to a dealer or called Ford is being told they haven't heard of an issue and this is just not true. Check the website www.ncfma.org/news/2010/03/02/safety-alert-10-Ford-vehicles-steel-rimswheels/comment-page-1 for yourself. There are several who have this issue.
