#749366July 28, 2001
TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT 36K MILES. THEY CAUSED AN EXTREMELY BAD VIBRATION PROBLEM AT ALL SPEEDS. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS THE START OF A TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM. I REPLACED ALL 4 ORIGINAL TIRES IN JUNE OF 2000, WITH NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SAME TYPE AND BRAND. (ONLY ONE OTHER MANUFACTURER MADE A TIRE IN THIS SIZE AND TYPE, AT THAT TIME). THE VEHICLE IS USED VERY SPARINGLY FOR SHORT WEEKEND TRIPS. WITH 2000 MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, THE VIBRATION PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN, NOT YET AS BAD AS BEFORE, BUT WITH FIRESTONE'S PRESENT TRACK RECORD I AM VERY CONCERNED. I WORRY ABOUT THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES THAT OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS SIZE AND TYPE OF TIRE, WE WILL HAVE FALLEN INTO A CRACK IN THE GOVERNMENT'S INVESTIGATION! *AK (TIRESIZE: P27560HR17)

TIRES
FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN SEPT, 1999 WHILE DRIVING WEST ON I-40 NEAR LEBANON, TN. SPEED WAS APPROX 70MPH, LOAD OF ABOUT 200 LBS IN TRUCK BED, 1 DRIVER, 1 PASSENGER. A BRIEF "VIBRATION" WAS FELT, FOLLOWED BY A LOUD, BRIEF BANGING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I SAW IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR A PIECE OF RUBBER LANDING IN THE ROAD AND CARS SWERVING BEHIND ME TO MISS IT. I DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, BUT DID IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. I OBSERVED THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND THE TREAD WAS MISSING, EXPOSING THE STEEL BELTS AND OTHER FIBERS. IT WAS STILL INFLATED. THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK'S QUARTER PANEL AND TRIM AROUND THE TIRE OPENING. I CHANGE TO THE SPARE AND CONTINUED ON. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER FR480 AT A LOCAL NASHVILLE, TN DEALER AND THE BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN OCTOBER, 2000. DRIVING WEST ON I-10 NEAR TUCSON, AZ, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 65MPH, WE FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WE SLOWED TO ABOUT 55-60MPH AND THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO GO AWAY, COMING BACK WITH MORE SPEED. WE DROVE THE REMAINING 125 MILES OF OUR TRIP AT A SLOWER SPEED AND SAFELY RETURNED HOME. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (LOU GRUBB IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ) I COULD FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL "SHIMMY" IN MY HAND, IN RESPONSE TO THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THE LEFT FRONT TO BE "SEPARATING" AND SUGGESTED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD ALL 4 FR480 TIRES ON THE ROAD REPLACED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER'S. I STILL HAVE ONE FR480 AS THE SPARE. DOT # FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS VDHL1M4808 AND THE SECOND TIRE WAS VNHL1PA413 (POSSIBLY VNHL1P4413). IT WAS HARD TO READ THE NUMBER. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDHL1M4808 TIRESIZE: P235/75/R1)

THE VEHICLE FUEL PUMP AND HARNESS WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO RECALL 00V-424, AT THE TIME OF REPAIR THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE CUSTOMER THAT THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP WAS CAUSING FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO FLOW INTO THE SECOND TANK RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING OUT THE FILLER TUBE, THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT BUT WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE REGULATOR NO OTHER PARTS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
SMELLED RAW GAS FROM THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND. JUST PURCHASED THE TUCK LAST MONTH. I FOUND THAT THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING GAS. I TRANSFED THE FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE REAR,WHICH IS ALSO HEAVY RUSTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE COST FOR A NEW TANK IS $175.00 FOR THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LESS FOR THE REAR PLUS LABOR AND ANYOTHER PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE AS THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL, WITHIN FIVE GALLONS OF FULL!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALER DOES NOR WANT TO COVER THIS COST OR EVEN PARTAKE IN IT AS SO MANY REPORTS OF LEAKING TANKS HAVE SURFACED, IN FACT THEY HAD ANOTHER CALL THE SAME MORNING FOR ANOTHER LEAKING TANK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD TO REPAIR THE TANK PROBLEMS BEFORE ANYONE IS KILLED.*AK
