TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON SUNDAY AUG 6, 2000, I STARTED HEARING A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK AND IT START SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INVESTIGATED. I FOUND THAT MOST OF THE TREAD HAD SEPARTED FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ONLY LEAVING A PORTION FLAPING. AIR WAS STILL IN THE TIRE AND I MANAGE TO DRIVE TO MY MOTHER HOUSE THAT WAS NOT FAR AWAY. THERE WAS SIGNICANT DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK, THE TWO TAILPIPES WAS BENT UPWARD, THE BED OF THE TRUCK HAD A HUMP FROM THE IMPACT AND THE REAR FENDER WAS COMPLETELY TORN AND CRUSHED FROM THE IMPACT. I CALLED FIRESTONE ABOUT THEIR TIRE AND TALKED TO SOMEONE FROM PRODUCT LIABILITY. THEY SENT OUT ANDY CORNEIL FROM CUSTARD INSURANCE ADJUSTERS P.O. BOX 531288 BIRMINGHAM AL. (205)871-1023, FAX (205) 870-4019 TO INVESTIGATE MY CLAIM. I HAVE TAKEN THE REMAINING FIREHAWK TIRES OFF MY TRUCK AND REPLACE THEM WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. I ALSO REPLACED THE EXHAUST PIPES. I HAVE PICTURES THAT ANDY CORNEIL TOOK AND HE GAVE ME A RECEIPT FOR MY TIRES AND RIM, SO HE CAN SEND IT BACK TO FIRESTONE FOR THEM TO PERFORM SOME KIND OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF FAILURE. AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT MR. CORNEIL TO ME. AS OF THE SUBMITTING OF THIS REPORT, I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM FIRSTONE. APPRECIATE ANY HELP, SINCERELY, JOSHUA HOLDERFIELD( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31X1050R15 )

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE CRACKS IN MY DOORS, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY ARE ABOUT A 1/4 INCH ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW OPENING, AND THEY ARE ALMOST A HALF AN INCH LONG, AND THEY ARE CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE DOORS. I WAS ADVISED TO REPORT THIS TO THE NTSA, BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT IS NOT A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THESE CRACKS, BECAUSE IT IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG F150S, ALMOST 70% SINCE 1997 HAVE THEM, AND WE WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET THESE FIXED IF WE HAVE NO WARRANTY LEFT OR IF WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED. THANK YOU.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND THIS LAST TIME THEIR ENGINEER THAT CAME IN HAS NOTED THE PROBLEM I HAVE. THEY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE AS IT IS. FOR BEING A NEW TRUCK IT SHOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE SHOP FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS IT'S HAD. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE REPORTS IF NEEDED. I PRAY THAT THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE RESOLVED. YOU MAY CONTACT ME AT HOME IF ANY QUESTIONS (505-875-1288) THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

TIRES
2 OF 4 TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED CONSIDERABLE CRACKS AROUND THE TREAD LINE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO 2 DIFFERENT FIRESTONE DEALERS AND GET VARIED INSPECTION REPORTS. AT ONE OF THE SERVICE CENTERS, A SERVICE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE "WOULDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICHLE ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE STATE THAT THEY (TIRES) ARE IN" WHILE HIS MANAGER TELLS ME THAT "THE CRACKS ARE PROBABLY CAUSED BY ARMOR ALL". THE OTHER SERVICE CENTER MANAGER I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TELLS ME THAT HE HAS PLACED A CALL IN TO FIRESTONE TO SEE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT SINCE THE TIRES ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT ARE QUESTIONABLE. HE WAS TO GET BACK TO ME BUT HAS NOT TO DATE. MY INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS INTERMITTANT SHUTTER IN THE FRONT END WHEN BRAKING HARD FROM HIGH SPEED. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SEEM TO BE BRAKE RELATED BUT MIGHT BE TIRE RELATED GIVEN THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME AND THAT THE CRACKING TIRES ARE ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. THEY WERE PURCHASED FROM A LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER AS REPLACEMENTS FOR THE OEM WILDERNESS HT TIRES SOLD ON THE TRUCK WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW AND HAVE ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON THEM. FIRESTONE WILL NOT TELL ME THAT THEY ARE SAFE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ON "NOT ON THE LIST". ONE MANAGER DID TELL ME THAT FIRESTONE WOULD PROBABLY END UP REPLACING ADDITIONAL TIRE SIZES IN THE FUTURE. I AM NO TIRE EXPERT BUT GIVEN THE CRACKS DEVELOPING WHICH ARE MORE THAN "COSMETIC" IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE ARE MORE ISSUES WITH OTHER SIZES OF THIS LINE OF TIRE FROM FIRESTONE. ANY ASSISTANCE OR ADVISE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, STEVEN D. TERRELL( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255-70R16 )
