    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I have not paid for anything yet. Car has been in the shop for a week now.

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    There are zero visible signs of damage to both the tire and the wheel and those are the words directly from both Ford and their wheel repair vendor. I also called my independent insurance agent who advised against filing a claim since it is considered a collision claim and my premiums would more...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Another update as of today. Ford texted me stating that the wheel repair vendor mentioned that the wheel in not repairable after the second try. He also mentioned that it is twisted and he had never seen that before without side impact, which there are no signs of and that the wheel will have to...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Agree with the redesigned Audi cockpit, it is impressive. Not too sure what the trim level is but I know it has the 3.0t. Not too sure on the sound system either.

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Might be going that route if Ford continues to give me the run around. If I would of known this would have turned into a fiasco/waiting game, I would have bought a used one by now.

    ST vs. The Competition

    I currently have a rental 2022 Q7 with the 355hp V6 while my ST is in the shop (Ford paid ;)). Options and interior quality are far superior but the performance for me is just not there. Throttle response and acceleration, even in dynamic mode, doesn't have that aggressive feel like the ST does...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I will have another update on Monday. Not too sure what's going on at this point. Initially Ford mentioned the wheel was bent after the road force balancing, sent it to the repair vendor, came back still bent, back to the repair vendor a second time. If it is not fixed come Monday, there will be...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    They were road forced. The wheel called for 8oz on one side and 6oz on another side. Tires are still the original from factory with 33k miles on them. I would hope that the service department was competent enough to check the tire as well.

    Update from dealership service advisor. Wheel still appears to be bent after getting it back from their wheel repair vendor!!!!!!!

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I would jump all over that if there weren't 1,000 miles away ;)

    WTB 21" Street Pack Wheel

    Looking for a one OEM 21" street pack wheel. Local pick up only and I reside in the Tampa, FL area.

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Yeah, that's most likely the case here. Probably hit something and didn't notice. Depending on bad it is bent (still waiting on confirmation), should I go the repair route?

    FS OEM 21" Street Pack Rims and Tires

    Would you sell one? I have a bent wheel and what the dealership is trying to charge should be considered a crime.

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Update after dropping off this morning. Service advisor informed me of a bent front passenger wheel. No idea when and where this could have happened since I put maybe 15 miles on the car after picking it up from the oil change and tire rotation until when I first noticed it (smooth back roads...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Trust me when the service advisor told me that there is a break in period, I told him that's BS. Unfortunately, the dealership cannot schedule me until 11/2 to check it out. I did take it to a local tire shop while I was out running errands who checked the lugs real quick and everything was...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I agree that the break in period is BS. I have never had an issue with any other car after rotation the 20 years I have been driving. No vibration whatsoever prior to the rotation. Nothing on the wheels/tires that would cause the vibration.
