2013 Ford F-150 Tires Problems

“Purchased truck in march 2014 & since have had over 10 flat tires. Took truck to dealership & was told tires are cracking due to being driven on a gravel road. Was not aware that the vehicle we purchased was not suitable to be driven on the gravel roads we live on. Tires are a safety hazard for anyone that drives on gravel roads.”

“Since approximately 5700 miles, when I take long trips in the vehicle (30+ miles), the TPMS light will come on with a message saying ?tire pressure sensor fault.? If I continue driving the light will eventually turn off and occasionally come back on in the trip. The light has always come on at freeway speeds. The truck has been brought into the service department multiple times without any guaranteed fix. The service department did replace a faulty, non-responsive TPMS sensor, but the problem continues. The issues usually occurs at night, but has happened in the daytime.”
