WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE (SENTRY TRU-TRAC APT, SIZE LT235/75R15, DOT-CHHK) SUDDENLY HAD 28" OF TREAD SEPARATED FROM STEEL BELTS. TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT. THE SEPARATED TIRE TREAD DAMAGED PICK- UP TRUCK QTR PANEL, AND BENT THE WHEEL WELL SPLASH PANELS' METAL SUPPORT ARM INTO THE REAR GAS TANK FILLER TUBE, DENTING IT BUT DID NOT PUNCTURE IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PAINT ON THE FRONT HOOD HAS PEELED RIGHT DOWN TO THE METAL. THIS HAS BEEN SLOWLY OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW. FORD AND AUTO BODY SHOPS SAY IT IS DUE TO POOR OR NO UNDERCOAT, YET FORD SAYS TO BAD. APPARENTLY THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS AT ONE TIME BUT MY TRUCK WAS NO PEELING THEN IT STARTED A YEAR OR TWO AFTER THIS, WHEN REPORTED FORD SAID TO BAD AS YOU SHOULD HAVE COME IN SOONER, WHY WOULD YOU SINCE IT WAS NOT PEELING. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 80,000 KILOMETERS ON IT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE HOOD. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
ON AUGUST 24, 2001, A FIRE SPONTANEOUSLY BEGAN UNDER THE HOOD OF MY 1991 FORD F150 PICKUP TRUCK WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT. THE FIRE CAUSED EXPENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND WOULD HAVE PROBABLY CAUGHT MY HOUSE ON FIRE HAD THE TRUCK BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (CENTROPLEX FORD IN KILLEEN, TEXAS, WHICH IS NOW AUTOMAX FORD) ABOUT FORD'S LIABILITY AND THEY SAID REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAD LONG EXPIRED. I THEREFORE SOUGHT COMPENSATION THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I PAID FOR THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM REPAIRS, WHICH WERE NOT DONE SATISFACTORILY. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE THE INCIDENT IS VERY SIMILAR TO RECENT OCCURRENCES THAT HAVE CAUSED DEATHS AND RESULTED IN A MAJOR RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THEREFORE, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE RECALL BE EXTENDED TO 1991 FORD F150 PICKUPS AND THAT I RECEIVE SATISFACTORY COMPENSATION AND REPAIRS.*JB
