problem #1

Sep 082009

E-500 6-cyl

  • 56,000 miles
Auto has low profile mag wheels. Two right wheels cracked when hit a curb in Sept 2009. Two wheels and 4 tires had to be replaced Sept 10, 2009. The following June one of the replaced wheels developed a crack. Not known why crack developed as I did not hit any potholes or anything else. Then just this year in October right front wheel developed a hairline crack causing the tire to slowly lose air. Wheel had to be replaced. Total: 4 wheels replaced in 2 years, including four tires.
