2003 Ford Cvpi Wheels Problems

“Ford recall regarding crown victoria police cars because of cracks that can develop in police cruiser wheels. I'm a pa state constable (law enforcement officer) and upon purchasing a retired pa state police vehicle the wheels on my vehicle are cracking and Ford motor co. Employee kevin employee #61151 advised there is nothing they can do at this time.”

“I just read about the steering column recall on the crown vic, CVPI, and grand marquis 2005-2011 and I am not sure why the 2003-2004 models are not included. They have the same issues described in this recall. I had my 2003 CVPI in the shop less than a month ago due to some steering issues I'm having (a lot of noise during driving and while turning) and the outcome was that my car needs a steering column flex coupler (shaft, lower) and the lower ball joint (control arm) also needs replaced due to excessive corrosion. So again, I'm asking why it's not part of the recall? …”

“I own a 2003 Ford crown victoria police interceptor which falls into the extended warranty coverage for manufacturer date time frame listed in recall 03v279000. Despite the fact that three of the four rims on my car have developed the cracks and air loss listed in the recall, Ford claims my vehicle is not covered. Ford agrees my vehicle was manufactured in the time frame that should be covered by the extended warranty, but claims my VIN number is not included in the coverage. I have had to replace the three defectively manufactured rims at my cost just to be able to drive the car. …”

Manufacture will fix as need basic, but will not change the other wheels. Did his own inspection on this tire, and found a crack in the steel wheel about one to two inches. Where the wheel meets the rim.”
