What owners wrote
Right rear rim cracked. Aluminum wheels with chrome covers 2012 lariat package. The dealer and ford determined that this rim was damaged by impact but the rim has never been impacted to my knowledge. I suspect that it was dropped at the factory when they were mounting the tires. I don't believe that I damaged the wheel because there was no damage to the tire and the rim is behind the sidewall of the tire. Also the surface area was about 3" long where the impact happened.
I purchased my vehicle used from a ford dealership in 2017. I brought it in a few months after I purchased it due to rear tires locking up and a sudden downshift. Was told no codes were found wrong and they couldn't duplicate the issue. April 30, 2019 had to have it towed back in. Was informed of a recall on lead mane frame for first time. After replacing lead frame vehicle still will not preform properly and I have now been told entire transmission needs to be replaced.
