Just left Tasca Ford Seekonk ma , my 2016 F150 20” chrome wheels are peeling on edge of wheels next to tire bead. I presently have 56K miles on truck. I was at Tasca Ford last August and had a tire dismounted and repaired as well as purchasing 2 New tires . At that time I had 41K miles on truck .
I explained my situation and dealership person told me “Nothing they could do” call Ford customer care and provided #.
person on phone said they are covered under 36K,36 month warranty, they are classified as PAINT ?.....

Has anyone had luck opening a case with Ford ? What should I Do ? Other then NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN !,,
window sticker of 51K and I’m supposed to just accept poor quality over and over again ????

Here's a thread on this issue https://www.f150forum.com/f118/my-ch...wheels-442938/

Here'a another. You may find some ideas there that could help. Obviously being over the 36k mark is killing you here. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/oem-p...eeling-342617/

Yea... As Rey said... The wheels are ONLY covered under the 36k miles.

I think some people got the wheels replaced with the Ford Official Extended Plus Warranty.

and - the chrome process in PVD Wheels is a paint process.

You can try to argue with Ford Customer Services, but I don't think it will go anywhere... Ford has a LOT of these wheels out there, and the majority of them will flake - - Ford will want to avoid replacing as many of them as it can.

3 years 36k mile warranty only on the wheels. no extended coverage

Not even with tire and wheel warranty purchased at the time of buying truck?

I received a call today from Tasca ford. I was told FORD was willing to cover $1300 of wheel repairs.BADNEWS the total bill for wheels was $4200!!!!!!!! They would cover 30% of repairs
it was insulting to say the least , I will be appealing and want a FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE to view wheels and dicuss matter
if they just gave me $1300 i can buy 4 new ones for $257 each online
FIRST AND LAST FORD !

Perhaps, you could consider buying 4 wheels from these guys, and accepting Fords Offer to cover $1300... On this site, the wheels are 259.25 each... for a total of $1,037 for the wheels. then add the cost of mounting.

$4200 for four wheels is outrageous. I see you live in MA like me. Do you have winter tires? Maybe just take the loss, grab for new wheels and use the flaking ones for strictly the winter?

$4200... I'm glad I got my covered under warranty!

This company does not have good reviews. Just saying, was looking myself for new wheels. My 17s are peeling as well. And I don't use them in the winter.
