Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)After purchasing brand tires from the Ford dealership, I began experiencing vibrations between 75mph-80mph. I reported this issue to the dealer, but they disregarded my concerns. Subsequently, I consulted my personal mechanic, who conducted a Road Force Balance test, indicating that tire number 4 is defective. I possess documentation supporting this claim, and the dealer manager has failed to respond to me for over a week.
Driver noticed excessive vibration when driving vehicle on June 17, 2025. The next day, the vehicle was taken to Mavis Tire & Brakes, Flagler Beach, FL, who confirmed a tread separation on the driver's side front tire. The tire is a HANKOOK Dynapro HT 205/75R16C. This tire is an original tire from when the vehicle was purchased new. The tire shop exchanged the faulty tire with the spare. If the vehicle were to continue to be driven, eventually the tread would have delaminated completely, causing a potential accident. This is the SECOND Hankook tire to fail this way on this vehicle. I did not report the first incident to NHTSA.

Tire rub
Regarding safety recall - I do not feel this has been handled in a reasonable amount of time. Today is July 10th and no remedy has been determined. I have NOT taken possession of my van that was purchased on April 3, 2024. At the time I was unaware of the safety recall, until the day of training at the upfitters. To date, I have not received any notification from Ford on this recall. I have made 3 payments, have registered, paid insurance on a van that I have never driven off the lot. This is beyond frustrating because a tire rub with tires such as the ones sold in the TRAIL package are known for rubbing if modifications are not made. Ford has been negligent in testing the Trail package that we paid approximately 10K for.
Campaign/NHTSA# 24S21/24V226 No remedy provided by Ford; Issue Date 2024-03-22 Campaign/NHTSA# 24S46/24V542 AND Campaign/NHTSA# 24S48/24V591 Ford notified me that the recall is ready for repair, however the parts are not available; my dealer has been waiting for 4 weeks now to receive the parts
I have been waiting for the Transit Trail tire rub recall fix to be announced and Ford is taking FOREVER. Pretty much all of us are building out our vans and this really throws a wrench (no pun intended) into things. Ford is effectively neutering our special off-road vans by putting stock transit tires on them. It's extremely frustrating. But I would at least prefer to have them do what they are going to do then move on. Instead I am stuck, waiting. And waiting. And waiting. The recall was submitted on MARCH 22ND. It's been 3 and a half months.
