“The brake dust from the stock oem brakes bites into the rims of the stock wheels and cant get it polished out , even the dealer in labelle Ford fl agrees but Ford will not warrant these under my 12000 mile bumper to bumper . They declined because I dont wash it often enough (I wash it weekly , did I ever get a washing schedule from them?) two weeks ago I met a young man with a new f250 and had the exact same wheels and and guess what, he had the exact same problem. He stated that he washes his truck almost daily.”
NHTSA complaint #10950302, filed 2017-02, 10,000 miles“Ford does not allow the TPMS alert threshold to be reduced to reflect aftermarket tire pressure needs. I have owned three superduties to date, a 2011, at 2013 and now a 2016. On each vehicle I have been running toyo opencountry a/t tires on them, and the proper tire inflation value on these is way below what the oem michelin tires come from the factory. The oem tires are suppose to be inflated to 65 PSI in the front and 80 PSI in the rear. The TPMS alert will kick on at a small percentage below these values. …”
