2005 HD stock rim cracked.

[cwch-d]

I currently have a 2005 Harley-Davidson F 250 with approximately 98K miles. I recently had a wheel crack and break. I have been fighting with Ford and the local dealer to replace the wheel and so far the best that I have been offered is a $500.00 credit toward the purchase of a new wheel. The catch is that I have to pay full retail for the wheel. ($1295.00). Yesterday a good friend of mine that has the same truck but in a 2006 model had the same thing happen in the same spot. We are going to have an attorney write a letter to ford requesting four new wheels. I don't feel that the wheels are safe. Obviously this has happened before with other people. If you would like to be included in our letter I would be more than happy to add your vehicle to our list. You can e-mail me at cwch-d@comcast.net. We want as many vins as possible to add to the letter. We feel that this is a well know problem with Ford and that they are trying to sweep it under the carpet.

Our wheels cracked in the same spot as yours. Mine actually broke apart while driving.
