TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAVE HAD "BULGES AND CRACKS ON SIDEWALL OF MOST TIRES I HAVE HAD ON THIS TRUCK, ORIGINAL OR REP[LACEMENT ONES. USUALLY A OIL CHANGE GUY WILL SHOW ME THE PROBLEM, AS USUALLY ON INSIDE DRIVERS REAR. NOTE I PULL 5TH WHEEL RV'S OCCASIONALLY AND DID NOT CHOOSE TO COMPLAIN UNTIL NOW. MY COMPLAINT IS ON JULY 2, 2000 ON A DESERET HIGHWAY ABOUT 11 AM I HAD TREAD SEPARATION ON DRIVERS REAT TIRE. I DID NOT SAVE ANY INFO FROM ANY OF THESE TIRES THAT I HAD REPLACED, BUT I HAD A CA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER HEAR THE BLOW OUT AND SEE ME PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. HE CALLED HIS DISPATCH WHO SENT A TOW TRUCK TO CHANGE TIRES. I SAVED THE SEPARATED TREAD BUT DISPOSED OF IT UPON GETTING A REPLACEMENT TIRE. BUT THEY LOOKED JUST LIKE THE TV PHOYTOS OF THE RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRES. THE TOW TRUCK COST ME $165.00 CASH TO DRIVE TO DESERT AND PUT ON MY SPARE. INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WERE THE TIRE BASHING THE SIDE OF MY PICK UP BED AND BENDING THE ROD THAT KEEPS BED FROM RATTLING WHICH IS IN VICINITY OF FENDER WELL. THIS ROD WAS BENT UPWARDS AND PULLED FENDER INWARDS .( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT235/85R1 )

#713874October 26, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
WHILE TOWING OUR 5TH. WHEEL TRAILER IN THE CURB LANE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT WHICH ACTUATED THE EMERGENCY FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE. THE RIGHT, FRONT TRUCK TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE ASSOCIATED BUMPY/SHUDDERING APPARENTLY CAUSED THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE TO CLOSE. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY. WHEN THE FUEL STARVED MOTOR SHUT DOWN WE LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHICH ADDED TO THE DIFFICULTY CONTROLING THE RIG. NOBODY WAS INJURED AND WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE SPARE TIRE AND RE-SET THE FUEL VALVE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE MAY HAVE ACTUATED TOO EASILY. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING IN THE CENTER LANE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH THE SAFETY OF THE MEDIAN OR SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED, THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE 1994 POWER STROKE TRUCKS. IN FACT THE DEALER IN THE AREA STATED ON 10-23-99 THIS IS THE WEAK LEAK OF THE 94'S. BY ALL INFO THAT I HAVE GATHERED FORD KNOWS THIS AND MADE A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE 95 MODEL YEAR. AND THE RESONS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL IS BECAUSE IT IS ISOLATED TO JUST THE 94'S. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, POWERING UP TO MERGE IN WHEN THE CLUTCH UNLOADED. ANY ASSSITANCE OR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED. THANK YOU COLIN FARRELL
