TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
MY TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ARE 16" AND THE SPARE TIRE IS 15" THE PROBLEM IS THE SPARE TIRE BEING A SMALLER SIZE THAN THE OTHERS IS THAT IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR MAKE THE VEHICLE ROLL OVER OR DAMAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE I WANT TO STRESS THAT THIS IS NOT A "DONUT "TIRE. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A REGULAR TIRE ACCODING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL IF IT WAS A "DONUT " IT WOULD BE LABELED AS SUCH IT HAS NO SUCH MARKINGS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER FROM BOTH THAT'S THE WAY YOU BOUGHT IT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS SO I ASSUMED THAT THEY SHIPPED OUT MANY VEHICLE THAT WERE EQUIPPED THAT SAME WAY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT NOTIFY THE OWNER BUT IT WILL ALSO IN MY OPINION CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IE.ROLLOVER VEHICLE PARTS FAILURE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME PLEASE KEEP ME NOTIFIED OF YOUR FINDINGS. THANK YOU SIGNED ESTEL KEEFER. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE DRIVERS SIDE SHOULDER BELT FIRST LOCKED UP, THEN IT PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT AND WILL NOT RETRACT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE THE REAR DOOR APART TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE. MY CHILDREN RECEIVED A PHONE CALL IN EARLY JULY THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN AROUND 23 JULY. TO THIS DATE, AUG 7, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL YET. I HAVE CALLED TO LOCAL FORD DEALERS TO FIND EVEN AN OFF COLOR BELT, BUT NONE ARE TO BE HAD. I FELL UNSECURE, AND EVEN GUILTY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A SEATBELT SINCE IT IS A LAW IN THIS STATE, AND I HAVE TO DRIVE ON AN ARMY POST WHICH IS THE LAW THERE ALSO. I HAVE ALSO TRIED EVERTHING I CAN TO GET THIS FIXED. I EVEN TOOK THE DOOR APART TO SEE IF THE MECHANISM COULD BE FIXED (WHICH WAS MORE THAN WHAT THEY DID AT THE DEALER), BUT IT IS UN-REPAIRABLE. (I HAVE 20+YEARS EXPERIENCE AS AN ARMY MECHANIC) I WOULD HAVE EVEN TRIED TO SWITCH THE BELT WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT IT WILL NOT WORK (THE TRUCK IS A 4-DOOR AND WILL NOT SWAP OUT). THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
