TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS DRIVING WEST ON I-40 NEAR LUDLOW, CALIFORNIA, WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED . THE SEPARATION BROKE THE FENDER WELL BRACES AND COMPLETELY CLOSED THE EXHAUST PIPE. OTHER PIECES WERE DAMAGED INCLUDING BODY DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THE COMPLETE CLOSING OF THE EXHAUST ACTED LIKE AN ENGINE BRAKE AND AIDED ME IN BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE STOP. A CALIFORNIA HWY PATROL OFFICER HELPED ME CHANGE TO THE SPARE. THE INCIDENT SO TIRED ME I COULD NOT CONTINUR TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED.( DOT NUMBER: VNHL 1M4 TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

TIRES
I HAD THESE TIRES AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MY FORD F-150 TRUCK AND TWO YEARS AGO, BOTH OF THE BACK TIRES LITERALLY DETONATED IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS ABOUT THREE MONTHS APART. IN EACH CASE IT BEAT THE HECK OUT OF THE WHEEL-WELL AND QUARTER-PANEL AREA AND SMASHED THE TAILPIPE AND AND GAS FILLER NECKS SHUT ALONG WITH BATTERING THE BACK OF THE QUARTER-PANEL UP ABOUT 8-10 INCHES ALONG WITH TEARING OUT THE SPLASH GUARDS IN THE WHEEL WELL. THE TIRE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM THE TIRE CASING IN BOTH CASES.( DOT NUMBER: )

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
IN AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1997 I RESPONDED TO NHTSA RECALL 96V071000. THE DEALER IN PUYALLUP, WA REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. HOWEVER, EVERY SINCE THEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS DOWN BELOW 40 DEGREES THE IGNITION SWITCH SEEMS TO FREEZE UP. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE FALL OR WINTER. I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START THE TRUCK. THE SWITCH BECOMES VERY STIFF UNLESS I FIRST WARM THE STEERING COLUMN WITH A SPACE HEATER OR BLOW DRYER. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL BREAK THE SWITCH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE TRUCK. *AK
