TIRES
EXCESSIVE OUT-OF-BALANCE VIBRATION WITH 20"PIRELLI SCORPION ATR TIRES ON 2007 F-150. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. MY SERVICE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS A TSB THAT EXPLAINS THAT THIS CONDITION FOR THE "FIRST 20 MILES FROM REST" IS NORMAL. THAT'S HARDLY ACCEPTABLE. MY MILEAGE IS JUST UNDER 12,000 AND MY TIRE WARRANTY IS SOON EXPIRED. THEY HAVE REBALANCED THE TIRES 4-5 TIMES DURING THIS PERIOD. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
2007 FORD F-150 SUPER CAB BUILT IN DEARBORN. PASSENGER SIDE/RIGHT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER COWL RUBBING ON HOOD AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE/RIGHT SIDE OF FRONT BUMPER FORWARD 1/2 INCH WHEN COMPARED TO LEFT. THE AREA WHERE THE HOOD AND PASSENGER FENDER JOIN THE CAB HAS BEEN MIS-WELDED 1/4" AT THE FACTORY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL AND 2007-2008 YEARS BOTH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE, THOUGHT NOT AS NOTICEABLE AS MY VEHICLE. SOME ARE IN TOLERANCE AND MAY BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, SOME ARE OUT OF TOLERANCE (AS IN MY CASE) AND SINCE CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED WILL BE PURCHASED BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

TIRES
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD F-150 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE VEHICLE HAD P275/65R18 TIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW DOT CAN ALLOW A P TIRE, DOT APU9AU612407, TO BE INSTALLED ON A 7700 GVW VEHICLE THAT WILL BE USED OFF ROAD UNDER MAX LOAD. THE P TIRES ARE FOR PASSENGER CARS AND WILL NOT STAND UP UNDER HEAVY OFF ROAD USE. THE TIRES SHOULD BE LT RATED. MY PREVIOUS TWO NEW F-150 4 WHEEL DRIVES HAD LT TIRES FROM THE FACTORY. I AM TOLD THAT NOW THEY ARE ONLY INSTALLED ON F-250 TRUCKS. I BELIEVE THE P TIRES CONSTITUTE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F150. ON MY KEY RING, I ALSO HAVE A GM KEY. ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHEN I HAVE INSERTED MY F150 KEY, THE GM KEY HAS WEDGED ITSELF BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING COLUMN.
