ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FORD TRUCKS 2008-10 ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TURBO, EMISSION AND RADIATOR PROBLEMS. CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO STOP RUNNING. THEY HAVE A PIPE BEFORE TURBOS THAT BURNS ON THE INSIDE CAUSING IT NOT TO CLEAN OUT. WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES, WE DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 4000 MILES, WE CHANGE TIRES AND KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN AND UP TO DATE. WE DID NOT RUN THIS VEHICLE HARD. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TROUBLE. IN 2013 THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AT 28,000 MILES AND QUIT. IT WAS SUGGESTED BY FORD TO CLEAR EMISSION. TURBOS WENT OUT TOTALLY AT 53,000 MILES COST OF $6700. THEN AT ANOTHER 900 MILES AT 53900 IT STOPPED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE SPENT 2 AND A HALF MONTHS IN THE SHOP BEFORE IT WOULD RUN AGAIN. THEY SAID THE PIPE BEFORE TURBOS BURNT FROM INSIDE MAKING TURBOS QUIT. WE GOT IT OUT OUR COST $2300. THEY WROTE OFF $2500 THEY SAID. NEXT DAY THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED ON THE SEAM. OF COURSE IT WASN'T THE SHOPS FAULT. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER $2000. THE FORD COMPANY THAT FIXED IT SAID WE SHOULD HAVE RAN IT HARD THAT THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD AS MANY PROBLEMS. IT HAS 54000 AND NO FORD DEALER EVEN WANTS A TRUCK MADE ON THEIR LOT BEFORE 2010. SO YOU KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME RECALLS. THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND ANYTHING!!

THIS IS A 2009 PLEASURE WAY EXCEL TS MOTOR HOME, BUILT BY PLEASURE WAY INDUSTRIES IN CANADA. THIS MOTOR HOME CAME WITH HANKOOK, DYNAPRO AS TIRES , SO FAR I HAVE HAD 3 OF THESE TIRES BLOW UP ON ME TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MPH, AND 2 MORE BUBBLING UP ON THE SIDE AND INSIDE, BUT THEY DID NOT BLOW SINCE I NOTICED IT AND INSTALL THE SPARE, ONE OF THIS LAST TWO THE BUBBLING WAS FOUND WHEN I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH NEW MICHELIN. THE 1ST 3 TIRES WERE REPLACED ON A PRORATED ORDER, I HAVING TO PAY FOR BALANCING AND MOUNTING. THE FIRST 3 TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH DYNAPRO HT TIRES WHICH 2 OF THEM FAILED THE SAME WAY. (THE SIDE WALL BUBBLES INSIDE AND OUT UNTIL IT BLOWS UP. THE LAST TWO TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED FOR REPLACEMENT BY HANKOOK BECAUSE THEY WANT TO VISUALLY INSPECT THEM SO THE TIRES ARE HAVING TO BE SENT TO THEM BY THE SEARS AUTO CENTER IN CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA. IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE INSTALLED MICHELIN TIRES, DO NOT TRUST HANKOOK WHAT SO EVER. I HAVE PHOTOS, INVOICES, MILEAGE WHEN ALL THESE TIRES FAILED, WHICH DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS COMPLAIN I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU SINCE YOU A LIMIT TO UPLOAD THESE ITEMS. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRE AS TO BE OVERRATED OR SOMETHING, EVEN THOUGH ONE OF THE TIRES WAS ON THE FRONT ON THE VEHICLE, AND NOT SUBJECT TO WEIGHT OR PRESSURE SINCE IT HAD 55 LBS OF AIR PRESSURE AND THEY ARE RATED TO 80 LBS. IN MY SAFETY CONCERN HAD ANY ON THIS TIRES WOULD OF HAVE BLOWN ON THE FRONT, I WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE WRITING THIS COMPLAIN, AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT ELSE COULD OF HAPPENED. ALL THESE TIRES HAVE FAILED FROM 05/23/2012 TO 04/19/2016 AND MILEAGE FROM 9690 TO 17323 MILES. PICTURED INCLUDED ARE ONLY FOR THE 09/16/2015 INCIDENT ONLY, I HAVE OTHERS IF NEEDED INCLUDING INVOICES.

THERE IS A LOUD "POPPING" NOISE WHEN THE BRAKING OF THE VAN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES I AM AFRAID THE VAN IS NOT GOING TO STOP ALL THE WAY. FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE, IT MAY BE UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING RECALL INFORMATION, ETC. TO HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JS

TIRES
THE CAR WAS VIBRATING INCESSANTLY. A LOUD BANG, THUD HEARD FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. PULL OFF THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY 220, SOUTHBOUND, ABOUT 10 MILES NORTH OF HICO, TX. THE ENTIRE RUBBER AROUND THE STEEL BELT WAS STRIPPED OFF. THE BLOW OUT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BOARD AND TIRE WHEEL AREA. I PURCHASED THESE 4 TIRES ON 7/21/11 SO THERE ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD WITH ABOUT 20-25 MILES ON THEM. BEFORE THIS BLOW OUT, I ACTUALLY REPLACED TWO OF THE OTHER TIRES REPLACED WEEKS BEFORE. ONE ON OF THEM, THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE TIRE HAD A GIANT BULGE. 3000 MILES LATER, ALMOST 2 WEEKS, THE SECOND TIRE STARTED STRIPPING OFF THE RUBBER AND TEARING APART. CAR SHOOK THEN TOO. THE THIRD TIRE (STORY IN FIRST PARAGRAPH) COMPLETELY TORE APART BEFORE WE COULD GET TO A SAFE SPOT TO CHECK IT OUT. WHEN EACH TIRE HAD A NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, I DID THE FOLLOWING: 1. FIRST TIRE: IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY FOR REPAIR 2. SECOND TIRE: PUT ON SPARE (IT WAS JULY 4TH) 3. THIRD TIRE: PUT ON SPARE BECAUSE TREAD HAD SEPARATED. ONE TIME IS FLUKE, TWO TIMES IS A COINCIDENCE, THREE TIRES FAILING WITHIN 5 WEEKS IS A DEFINITE PATTERN. PLEASE REVIEW THESE TIRES. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON I215 IN SALT LAKE CITY UTAH AT 65MPH WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE IT RAN ME OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH NARROWLY MISSING A CONCRETE BARRIER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE HOW I KEPT IT FROM ROLLING THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THREE OTHER FORD TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2006 TO 2008 THAT I USED TO DRIVE AT WORK. AND NOW MY PERSONAL 2008 F350. I HEAR THAT THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. *TR
