TIRES
RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD MASSIVE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. MOVED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CHANGED OUT TIRE. PRIOR TO FAILURE NOTICED THUMPING NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE THAT SHOOK VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO ROAD HAZARDS STRUCK TO CAUSE THIS INCIDENT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. I SUSPECTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG PRIOR TO THE FAILURE WHEN THE THUMPING NOISE BECAME NOTICABLE, HOWEVER I THOUGHT THE TIRES MIGHT NEED BALANCING. NOW THERE ARE MORE THUMPING NOISES SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGEOUT THE THE REMAINING THREE TIRES. I TRIED TO CONTACT FIRESTONE BUT THE WAIT TIME TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WAS TOO LONG. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRING IT IN FOR YOUR ANALYSIS SINCE I AM IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA.*AK (DOT NUMBER: V6TTBTA TIRESIZE: 245/75R16)

#730866September 9, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
THIS VEHICLE DEVELOPED CRACKS ON BOTH BRAKE ROTORS THRU TO THE FINS. I HAVE BOTH IN MY POSSESSION. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FORD MOTOR CO. AND THEY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY AS MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN MAY OF 2000. I HAD A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR SOMETIME PRIOR TO MAY OF 2000 BUT DID NOT REALIZE WHAT IT WAS. IT BECAME INCEASINGLY WORSE, WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY REFERRED ME TO AUTOMOTIVE & RV SPECIALISTS AS THE DEALER COULD NOT WORK ON A LARGE VEHICLE. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH NAPA ROTORS AS RV SPECIALISTS OWNER MR. DALLAS SHARK SAID FORD WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CASTING IN THEIR ROTORS AND IT WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO REPLACE WITH TWO MORE FORD ROTORS. FORD HAS DENIED REINBURSEMENT FOR THIS REASON. MR SHARK STATED THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ROTORS COULD HAVE EXPLODED AT ANYTIME LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKING CAPABILITY AT ALL. HE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON MY BEHALF. HE CAN BE CONTACTED AT 520-532-0086 OR 800 N. 16TH ST. SHOW LOW, AZ 85901. I HAVE DOCUMENTION FROM THE FORD MOTOR CO. AVAILABLE IF NEEDED IN THIS INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A SENSOR REPLACED, I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER MOTORHOME OWNERS OF FORDS THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS OF ABS WARNING AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEIR SENSORS REPLACED FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND HAS NOT DONE ASNYTHING ABOUT REPLACING THEM WITH A HEANY DUTY SENSOR, IT IS A SMALL COST ITEM BUT IF YOU CANNOT DO THE WORK YOURSELF IT IS VERY COSTLY AS LABOR AT $80 PER HOUR MOUNTS UP, COULD YOU PLEASE SEE IF FORD HAS A TSB COVERING THESE SENSORS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD REGULARLY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING IN A SPORADIC MANNER AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON. HOWEVER DURING BRAKE FAILURE VEHICLE WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND POOR STOPPING PERFORMANCE. THE "MEMORY MODULE" COULD POSSIBLY BE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. *YC
