I recently ran into a major issue with my 2007 Ford Five hundred which really scared me. I was rotating the tires on the car and when I was removing the wheel from the drivers side of the car I noticed that the wheel wobbled back and forth. At first I thought this was just a bad ball joint and purchased a new one to replace it. When I started to remove the factory installed ball joint I noticed that the nut that holds the ball joint to the lower connection joint was on the verge of coming off. I find this very disturbing as I live in a very mountainous state with many curvy roads and steep drop offs. Had this nut finished coming off while on one of these roads I may not be writing this letter. I will also contact nafta about this situation as it may be occurring on more vehicles than just mine. I would also like to be reimbursed for the part I had installed as it in itself was not defective. I have bought many Ford vehicles and will probably continue to as I think overall Ford makes a high quality car. I have since checked the other side and found no problems on the passenger side of the vehicle. Thanks for looking into this matter and I hope to hear from you soon!

2007 Ford Five hundred tires are cracking, local tire dealer says it shouldn't be a problem....safety is not their first concern I guess. He says the pirelli P6 tires that are oem only have 50,000 mile rating to them, I have 37,000 miles and they are rotting. Tires keep going low.

Have 2007 Ford 500 had a flat tire on rt. Rear. Took car to dealer to fix. They said it was caused by a cracked wheel. Possibly hitting bump in road. It has 18444 miles rarely driven and has never hit a bump very hard or at all. Bumper to bumper will not cover the cost, and we believe this is a faulty wheel from factory. Please help.
