2019 Ford F-150 Wheels Problems

“High amplitude vibration at various speeds. Most noticeable between 50 and 70mph. I complained about it to the dealership and they determined the ring and pinion gears needed replacing at 4200 miles. Vibration persisted, so I took it back and they tried roadforce balancing the wheels/tires and checking for runout. This did not fix the problem either. Then they tried replacing wheels and tires all together, still with no success.”

“My vehicle went in for oil change, tire rotation and tailgate recall. Now I was told by the dealer that lug nuts had swelled because manufacturer put caps on the nuts which causes overheating. According to my dealership I have 12 lug nuts to replace. Is this reasonable to replace these items on a 4 year old vehicle? My dealership told me they don't make vehicles like they used to.”

“There is a bad viberation at 60/70 MPH. This is a $74.000 f150 limited. They put two new tires on and still bad. Now they are checking all drivetrain still nothing. This truck only has 700 miles on it. Its a 2019. Do not want this truck now. Ford knows they have a problem. This is a lot of money for me to spend . I think they need to buy this truck back, to big a problem to put up with.”

“Tire/wheel was losing air, upon investigation I discovered a cracked rim, which is my second in 8 months. Upon looking online, I see that ford is attributing this issue to aggressive stiff-wall offroad tires. I have the fx4 offload package with the factory wheels and BF GOODRICH KO2 all-terrain tires, which are the most common all-terrain tire in the US. I am using the same size tires as came from the factory. The change in tire is the only modification I have done from factory. I have followed the factory rotation guide. …”

“The driver front wheel developed a crack in it on the inside of the wheel. It was detected due to the tire leaking air. It was not immediately detected in the dunk tank at discount tire and I continued to fill air and drive on the rim until the leak accelerated, and discount tire was finally able to detect the leak. With the wheel compromised, if I hit something wrong, or even just driving, the crack was expanding, and could catastrophically fail while driving, resulting in a loss of control as well as a risk of debris for myself and other drivers to hit. …”
