TIRES
TIRES ON MY F150 SHOW ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. FORD SAYS THIS IS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I CLAIM THAT THIS IS A SUSPENSION ISSUE, NOT A TIRE ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A NEW CHECROLET TAHOE. COULD THIS ISSUE BE RELATED TO THE TIRE ISSUES ON CURRENT FORD SUV'S? I THINK THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM RATHER FORD SUPSPENSION IS THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND HEATING OF THE TIRES, ESP. IN TEXAS. THIS WEARS THE OUTER EDGES OF THE TIRES, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE OUTER TREAD TO FAIL OR SEPERATE FROM THE TIRE. THIS IS A DEFINATE PROBLEM ON THE FORD F150 TRUCKS, AND I THINK IT APPLIES TO THE EXPLORER.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R15 )

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WITH MY FORD F-150 INVOLVING THE FUEL LINE/GAS TANK SURFACED ON 4/27/01 IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE GARAGE, SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WERE FOUND TO BE EXITING ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK CAPS ON TO THE FLOOR. TOMBALL FORD REPLACED THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN JAN 1996 UNDER FORD RECALL 93S68. IT IS OBVIOUS THE RECALL DID NOT WORK.!! THESE FACTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED BY CILLIS CAR CARE, 13650 SCHROEDER RD, HOUSTON, TX 77070. ACCORDING TO TOMBALL FORD, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ONCE AGAIN REPAIR THE COMPONENTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I DEMAND THAT THE D.O.T. ACT ON THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. MY TRUCK SHOULD BE REPAIRED CORRECTLY AT NO COST TO ME. FURTHER, FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC, FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT ANOTHER RECALL AND PERFORM RECALL 93S68 PROPERLY!!!!!*AK
