TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THIS TIRE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT FAILED LIKE THE RECALLS IN THAT THE TREAD SEPERATED FROM THE CAR CASING. YOU COULD PUT YOUR HAND UNDER THE TREAD AND PULL IT AWAY FROM THE CASING. I HAD ALL THE TIRES REPLACED. FIRESTONE NOR FORD WOULD HELP ME IN GETTING COMPENSATED FOR THE FAILURE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: DOTW2081PT TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)

TRAILER HITCHES
CONSUMER WAS AT A STOP LIGHT & THERE WAS A THUMP. MAKING A LEFT TURN VEHICLE WAS SWAYING LEFT & RIGHT. CONSUMER GOT OUT AND FOUND THAT TRAILER HAD HIT THE GROUND AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE ON PASSENGR'S SIDE. REAR HAD BOTH ARMS CLOSEST TO THE BUMPER COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. MANUFACTURER NEVER MEASURED THE PARTS TO FIX TRAILER. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON RECALL, AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

TIRES
AT 15,000 MILES ALL THE TIRES ARE WORN DOWN PAST 2/32TH". WARRANTY STATES THAT THERE WARRANTIED TO 6 YEARS, 60,000 BEFORE THE TREAD WOULD WEAR DOWN THAT BAD. IVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS FORD AND FIRESTONE DEALERS BUT NONE WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY. IVE ALSO LOCATED CRACKS IN THE TREADS. I STILL HAVE ALL 4 TIRES IN MY POSSESSION SINCE IVE REPLACED THE ORIGINALS. AT 15,000 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 1 YEAR AND 9 MONTHS OLD. FORD AND FIRESTONE ADMITTED THAT THERE "MIGHT" BE A PROBLEM BUT PAWNED IT OFF ON EACH OTHER. (DOT NUMBER: VN08 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TWO FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES SUFFERED TREAD SEPARATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN SUMMER DESERT CONDITIONS. ONE TIRE HAD 43,000 MILES AND THE OTHER ABOUT 45,000 MILES. SEPARATION OCCURED WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED WHEN THE SECOND EVENT OCCURED ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THE REPORTS ABOUT THE FIRESTONE TIRES. FORD WAS NOT VERY INTERESTED AND I COULD GET NO INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THIS TYPE OF TIRE. I STILL HAVE ONE TIRE. GENERAL TIRE WANTS TO GET IT BACK. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS PICKUP TRUCK DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE DEPRESSED VERY HARD AND EVEN THEN, THE BRAKING TIME AND DISTANCE IS VERY POOR. THIS PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS WHEN HAULING A BOAT OR OTHER TRAILOR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE AND HAVE RAN THROUGH STOP SIGNS BECAUSE OF THE POOR BRAKING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WORK AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, WHEN THE ROTORS ARE REPLACED THE BRAKING IS MUCH BETTER. THE SPECS. ON THE ORIGINAL ROTORS ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE REPLACEMENTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL ROTORS ARE NOT THE CORRECT THICKNESS AND THEREFORE THE BRAKING IS VERY POOR. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT FORD F150S WITH THESE BRAKING PROBLEMS ARE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS, SOME RESULTING IN INJURY AND DEATH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW. I DON'T TRUST THAT FORD WOULD VOLUNTEER THIS INFORMATION AND HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I AM REPORTING THE FAILURE OF TWO (2) TFI MODULES ON MY 1985 F-150. I STILL OWN AND USE THIS TRUCK. I HAVE SEEN THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ABOUT FOMOCO KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I WANTED TO PASS THIS INFORMATION ON. ALSO, I HAVE PETITIONED FOMOCO FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $694.74 THAT THE DEALERS CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE TFI MODULES. FOMOCO REFUSED. THANK YOU. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAD MY TIRES INSPECTECTED THE DAY THE NHTSA ISSUED A WARNING THAT INCLUDED MY TIRE MODEL. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TREAD HAD BEGUN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE; THE STEEL BELTS ARE PROTRUDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SIDEWALL. I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, BUT LATER FOUND THAT I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE NOT MANUFACTURED IN DECATUR, IL. THEY WERE MANUFACTURED IN QUEBEC. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235/70/R16) (TIRESIZE: 235/70/R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/70/R16 )
