TIRES
MY QUESTION IS ABOUT SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND ANY PERSON WITH ME IN REGARDS TO THESE TIRES, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE NOT FAILED AS SOME HAVE HOLDING TIRE PRESSURE AND HAVING TO SWITCH THEM MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIRE I HAVE OWNED TO AVOID THUMPING AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR . IT COMES BACK TO THIS , UNCERTAIN ABOUT SAFETY AND WHAT POSSIBLY COULD HAPPEN HAS PROMPTED THIS QUERY. THE LATEST REPORT FROM NHTSA IS TO REPLACE THEM AND WAIT FOR A DECISION , I DON'T HAVE THE MONEYTO DO THIS , YOUR ANSWER WILL BE APPRECIATED .

TIRES
I DID NOT KNOW WHO ELSE TO REPORT MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK SO I AM HOPING I AM NOT WASTING YOUR TIME BY FILLING THIS OUT. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCH IN TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES INSPECTED THEY SAID THEY PASSED INSPECTION, OR IN THEIR WORDS "THEY COULD VISIBLY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM" BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME IN WRITING. AFTER I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE FORM THEY HAD FILLED OUT, IT STATED THAT I HAD "REQUESTED NO INSPECTION - MISCELLANEOUS CHECK". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AFTER SEEING A CLOSEUP OF A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE FROM A WRECK ON THE CBS NEWS I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE LOOKED WORN JUST LIKE MY TIRES ARE WEARING. MY TIRES ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD, I REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TIRES WITH THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT IN JULY 1998. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A BIG COVERUP WITH THESE TIRES AND THAT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL1PY038 TIRE SIZE: 235/75 R15 )

TIRES
I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO 287 BUSINESS NORTH, WHEN I HEARD THE TIRE RIP AND A SUBSEQUENT BLOW OUT. I MEASURE THE TIRE PRESSURE OF THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND THE PRESSURE READ GOOD. THE TIRE DEPTH WAS JUST OVER 4MM, BUT THE STORE MANAGER WHO PUT NEW TIRES ON MY VEHICLE SAID THAT THE TIRE WEAR WAS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. I KNOW THE TIRES WERE APPROACHING REPLACEMENT TIME, BUT I DONT THINK THE TIRE SHOULD HAVE FAILED.( DOT NUMBER: W208IRC039 TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )

TIRES
THE TIRE HAS APPROXIMATLY 10 INCHES OF VISABLE TREAD SEPERATION, THIS WAS NOTICED WHEN I REPLACED THE WHEELS AND TIRES WITH NEW ONES. THE TIRE IN QUESTION IS NO WHERE NEAR THE WEAR BARS BUILT INTO THE TIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES BECAUSE I REPLACED THE OLD TIRES WITH THE SAME BRAND AND MAKE OF TIRE. ARE YOU WONDERING WHY I REPLACED TIRES I THOUGHT WERE GOOD? I ORDERED WHEELS FROM TIRERACK.COM AND THEY HAD THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT 235/70R 16 ON SALE FOR $60.00 A TIRE WITH FREE MOUNTING AND BALANCING ON THE WHEELS I BOUGHT FROM THEM. THE BAD TIRES ARE STILL ON THE STOCK RIMS, IF YOU WANT PICTURES, ETC. LET ME KNOW.( DOT NUMBER: W2081PT136 TIRE SIZE: 235/70R 16 )

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
FIRST NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS HESITATING AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE EASILY. TOOK TO A FRIEND OF OURS WHO OPENED UP A NEW AUTO SHOP AND HE CHANGED THE OIL AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT. HE THEN PULLED UP TSB FROM THE INTERNET REGARDING ENGINE CONTAMINATION, ARTICLE NO. 99-20-7. HE ENCOURAGED US TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY COULD FURTHER DIAGNOSE AND HOOK UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINES, AS OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE WASN'T SET UP TO READ THE COMPUTER. WE DROVE THE TRUCK, WITH BRAND NEW OIL, 4 MILES TO OUR HOUSE, PARKED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE HAD PURCHED THE VEHICLE. WE ALSO SAVED A SAMPLE OF THE CONTAMINATED OIL IN AN OLD WINDEX BOTTLE AND SENT IT TO THE DEALER. IT SAT FOR THREE DAYS WITH NO ONE LOOKING AT IT UNTIL I FINALLY DROVE THERE MYSELF AND ASKED WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PERSON THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THE CAR DID NOT COME INTO WORK AND HE HAD SOMEONE ELSE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. I THEN HAD TO CALL BACK WHEN I GOT HOME, 5 HOURS LATER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED OR TAKEN APART TO SEE JUST HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE. THEY SAID IT WAS EXCESSIVELY DRIVEN WITH THE CONTAMINATED OIL. WE NEVER EVEN KNEW THAT THE OIL WAS CONTAMINATED, NOR WERE WE EVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL NOTICE. WE HAVE THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES, ALWAYS! THEN HE PROCEEDS TO TELL ME THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THAT IS ALL WE KNOW FOR NOW AND AM WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER AFTER HE TALKS WITH HIS MANAGER AND FORD. HOPING FOR THE BEST.
