This was a police vehicle involved in a pursuit. At approximately 110 MPH, the left front wheel cracked, the tire flattened, the operator lost control and crossed the median, the opposing lanes of traffic and impacted the guide rail. Trooper was treated and released, vehicle demolished.
I own a 2003 ford crown victoria police interceptor which falls into the extended warranty coverage for manufacturer date time frame listed in recall 03v279000. Despite the fact that three of the four rims on my car have developed the cracks and air loss listed in the recall, ford claims my vehicle is not covered. Ford agrees my vehicle was manufactured in the time frame that should be covered by the extended warranty, but claims my VIN number is not included in the coverage.
