POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THREE TIMES THE LEFT FRONT INNER WHEEL BEARING HAS DISINTEGRATED ALLOWING ROTOR TO FALL DOWN ON SPINDLE, WITH NO INDICATION OF BEARING FAILURE, NO NOISE WHATSOEVER.THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT TIRE WHEEL ROTOR CAME COMPLETELY OFF SPINDLE AT 70 M.P.H. THE OUTER BEARING STILL FULL OF GREASE . INDICATION THAT THERE IS INSTANTANIOUS DISCENERGRATION OF INSIDE BEARING. I BELIEVE SPINDLE WAS TURNED TO SMALL BY A FEW THOUSANDS ALLOWING RACE TO BREAK LOOSE. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS ENGNEERING DIASTER CALLED FORD ECONOLINE. I AM 53 YEARS OLD @ HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN THAN ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED.*AK

TIRES
TIRE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP VEHICLE. FIRESTONE DEALER IN AURORA COLORADO, STORE # 028924 TOLD ME THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED AT THE DECATOR PLANT. THEY TREATED THIS LIKE A RECALL AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT NO COST WITH GENERAL TIRES. THE FIRST TIRE TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING UNDER IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES LOST ITS TREAD ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, PRIOR TO PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AT DECATOR PLANT. SECOND TIRE CAME APART IN WYOMING. I MADE THIS REPORT THINKING THAT THE PROBLEMS AT DECATOR MIGHT EXTEND BEYOND THE TIRES CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED, AS THE AFFINITY TIRES ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THANKS.
