“These low profile tires and rims are terrible. I barely have 35,000 miles on this vehicle and I've had to replace 3 tires due to hitting a pothole or roadwork. It can't withstand regular ware and tear! This vehicle has cost me more money and time wasted from all the recalls, the lifting of the windshield and paint lifting off the front hood.”

“The car's chrome lug nuts are actually chrome caps over the steel lug nuts and they were all swollen up to the point two tire shops could not take them off without damaging them in autumn of 2017. On january 29, 2018 I bought 20 one piece chrome lug nuts from the auto zone store for $60.90 as dewey Ford said Ford does not have one piece available, then wrote Ford motor co. A letter asking for reimbursement.I also told them I had already replaced eight capped nuts on 7/29/2016. Ford denied payment claiming it to be a maintenance item. …”

“Driving on concrete highway at 72 MPH. Heard a rumbling sound like a nearby motorcycle coming from the right rear. Car is front wheel drive. Disengaged the cruise control, slowed and pulled to the shoulder. Discovered that the entire tire carcass had come off. Only the sidewalls were still attached to the wheel. Tire had about 10,000 miles on it and was probably at 32 PSI cold. Goodyear eagle ls2, 235/45r18 94v.”
