2014 Ford F-150 Wheels Problems

“My tire spec and pressure label is incorrect, cold PSI is shown at 55 PSI front and 60 PSI rear and the TPMS shows low pressure if under 55 and 60. All local Ford service advisers say it should be 35psi. I have been complaining of vibration issues since I bought the truck and feel this has put myself and my family at risk not to mention the premature wear on my tires and suspension components.”

“When we had our tires rotated all 24 lug nuts had to be replaced because they were overly tight they were chrome covered lug nuts and during removal they were damaged. This is a common issue with the newer trucks. They expand and contract which make them impossible to remove without damaging. They cost 7.59 each and all 24 had to be replaced.

“We were on our way back from vacation in south carolina doing the speed limit of 70 and all of a sudden I heard a loud bang, the front passenger side dropped down on the truck. The truck lost control and went into a guard rail, the air bags deployed, the rear end of the truck came around and the truck began to flip.

I had to pay for the new set of lug nuts. I believe this is a safety problem that could leave a driver stranded with a flat tire or use some dangerous alternative method to remove swollen lug nuts causing a safety issue. …”

“My trucks TPMS is faulty and not working as required. I have had the Ford dealership in frisco, tx look at it several times and they have not provided a repair. The system does not activate or display a trouble light until the pressure in a tire goes below 18psi. That is almost flat on a 1/2 ton pickup truck going down the road at 65mph. They tried removing the wheels and replacing them with another 2014 model F-150 and no difference. They just tell me that the system is working correctly. My understanding is that there are two different types of TPMS direct and indirect . …”
