TIRES
THIS IS THE 8TH SEPARATION OUT OF 11 TIRES THEY HAVE ALL HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING THIS ONE BLOW AND CAUSED ABOUT 2300 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK NOT INCLUDING THE TIRE 3 MILES SOUTH OF IOLA KANSAS COMING FROM INDEPENDENCE MISSOURI IT GAVE ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS OF BOBBLE AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO PULL OVER IT BLEW. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD.BF GOODICH CLAIM THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED WHY THEY SAY THAT. THIS SIZE OF TIRE USUALLY IS PURCHASED FOR JEEPS AND SMALL PICKUP WEIGHING 3000 TO 4000 POUNDS BUT IS RATED FOR E LOAD WHEN YOU USED THE TIRE ON A LIGHTER VEHICLE IT DOES NOT HEAT UP BUT MY PICKUP IS 9000 LBS. BEFORE THIS LAST TRIP I HAD COSTCO CHECK THE TIRES AND AIR PRESSURE THE DAY BEFORE THE TRIP AND I CHECKED THEM ON THE DAY OF THE TRIP. SO I KNOW THEY WERE AIR TO THE REQUIRED PRESSURE. I BELIEVE THE TIRE MUST BE RECALLED AND LOAD RATED NO HIGH THAN C

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY , COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT A LOW AMPERAGE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. HAD TO WAIT A WHILE IT WOULD START AND LIMPED IT HOME. NO PROBLEMS FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A COUPLE TIMES IT WOULD START, BUT AT A LOW IDLE WITH NO RESPONSE OF THE GAS PEDDLE. THE FINAL STRAW WAS LAST WEEK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK. EACH TIME I CAME TO A STOP, IT WOULD LOSE THROTTLE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO GET GOING. THEN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION OF HWY 41 AND 145, IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WOULD TURN BUT NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC ON SATURDAY AND MONDAY WHEN THEY GOT TO IT, AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERIES, IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO FAIL...WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE ON THE GAUGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OR DEADLY. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED IF I HAD BEEN HIT.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 80 EAST OF IMLAY, NV AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN LANE #2, THE LEFT REAR TIRE LOST ABOUT 80-85% OF IT'S TREAD IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, EXTENSIVELY DAMAGING THE UNDERSIDE WHEEL WELL AREA NEAR THE TIRE AND THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER LOST, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS VEERING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND VIOLENT LOUD BANGING AS THE TREAD PIECES WERE HITTING THE VEHICLE. THE REMAINING TIRE CARCASS DID NOT LOSE AIR PRESSURE, AND WE MANAGED TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT HIGHWAY SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING AND DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT FLAT, WE SLOWLY DROVE ABOUT ONE MILE TO THE NEXT EXIT, LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THE 4 TIRES HAD ALL BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED AND HAD ABOUT 11,045 MILES ON THEM SINCE ALL FOUR WERE PURCHASED IN 2012. THE TIRES ARE B F GOODRICH, LT265 / 75R16, "RUGGED TERRAIN T/A". THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F-250 SUPER CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK STARTED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY, I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS PERFORMED. I SAW NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V270000 WHICH REFERENCES FORD RECALL NO. 05S34. I CALLED TO INQUIRE AT WEST BROTHERS FORD IN SULLIVAN MO. AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK HAS NO RECALLS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE FIRST PERSON SAID THE RECALL EXPIRED AND MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND PERSON SAID MY TRUCK WASN'T AFFECTED BECAUSE THE RECALL SAID "CERTAIN" VEHICLES. MY TRUCK FALLS IN THE MANUFACTURE DATES LISTED ON THE RECALL, HAS THE 6.0 ENGINE AND IS STALLING NOW. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NOT HAD THIS WORK PERFORMED ON IT. I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT "CERTAIN" VEHICLES APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND WHY MINE DOESN'T. I WOULD ALSO LIKE MY TRUCK FIXED OR REIMBURSED BY FORD, UNLESS THEY CAN SHOW WHY MY TRUCK DOESN'T NEED THE WORK DONE. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER. THANK YOU. ## VIN PASSED ## FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 2004 ## *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DRIVING THE VEHICLE 20MPH LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE, LEFT WITHOUT POWER STEERING, BRAKES OR CONTROL OF VEHICLE. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START VEHICLE, IT DID NOT START, BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN FEBRUARY 2015. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. SHE CHECKED ON NHTSA RECALL 05V270000. SHE STATED THAT THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AND THAT I WAS NOW ON MY OWN IN REGARDS TO REPAIRS. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING SOME PROBLEMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. FORD SEEMS TO HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS ISSUE OF RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS WHY I AM FILING A CASE. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STALL. FUEL LIGHT ENGINE PREHEAT WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND/OR TOW HAUL ARE IN USE AT THE TIME OF THE STALL, THEY ARE SHUT OFF AT THE SAME TIME. ENGINE CAN USUALLY BE RESTARTED; ON A FEW OCCASIONS IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NO LOAD AND ALSO WHEN PULLING A LIGHT WEIGHT FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS, THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL, & A "FUEL MANAGEMENT MODULE) BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND CLAIM TO BE UNAWARE OF ANY HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR
