POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR SNAPPED IN NASHVILLE, TN ON CROSSCOUNTRY TRIP FROM ARIZONA TO MARYLAND, STRANDING US 36 HOURS IN NASHVILLE. GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. CABLE FIXED, BUT IT MUST HAVE TAKEN OUT OUR ALARM SYSTEM AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKING MECHANISM. STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK UNLESS YOU YANK IT 900 TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. KOONS FORD IN ANNAPOLIS, MD, TOLD US THIS WAS "NORMAL" ON THE LOCKING PROBLEM, AND THAT FOUR OTHER VEHICLES ON THEIR LOT DO THE SAME THING. '!@#$%. WE NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON SEPT 1 FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE LOCKING MECHANISM AFTER MY DAUGHTER CALLED THEM THIS PAST WHEEL COMPLETELY UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN.

TIRES
ONE TIRE DELAMINATED AT HIGH SPEED. FILED CLAIM WITH FIRESRTONE FOR REPLACING TIRE & REPAIR OF TRCK DAMAGE. THEY DID SO UNDER FIRESTONE INCIDENT #018399. WHILE CLAIM BENG PROCESSED, ABOUT A WEEK LATER WE NOTICED TWO MORE TIRES WITH METAL WIRES POKING THRU SIDES OF TREAD. TOK TRUCK TO IRESTONE STORE TUCSON, AZ. EMPLYEE AWARE OF MY PRIOR CLAIM, AND AT THAT POINT HE RELACED 3 MORE TIRES (THE 2 WITH METAL SHOWING + OTHER ONE THEN IN USE. WE HAD NO INJURY, I GOT NO HASSLE FROM FIRESTONE. ONLY RECENTLY WAS I AWARE OF EXTENT OF FIRESTONE TIRE PROBLEMS. THE POINT OF MY REPORT IS TO ALERT YOU THAT SIXTEEN " TIRES, (WE HAD P235/70RX16SL TIRES) ARE ALSO A PROBLEM. I RECETLY REPORTED THIS TO FORD MOTORS. REPLY FROM THEM WAS GENERAL IN NATURE, BUT THEY TOLD ME TO BE SURE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. I MAINTAIN THESE TIRES AS I HAVE OTHER IN THE 50 YEARS I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES AND NEVER BEFORE HAVE I EXPERIENCED A TIRE DELAIMNATION AS WE DID WITH THESE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. A CONCERN WE NOW HAVE IS THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH OTHER WLDERNESS "HT" TIRES.EE.( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN MARCH 1999. MY TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES. I HAVE NOT OVERLOADED MY TRUCK OR HAULED ANYTHING HEAVY. MY TIRES ARE WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 2/32" WEAR INDICATORS AND ARE VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WOBBLING AT LOW SPEEDS. FIRESTONE DOES NOT WANT TO PRO-RATE THE TIRES UNLESS I CAN PROVE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF THERE IS NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEN I HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR NEW TIRES. I HAVE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I AM HAVING WITH THESE TIRES. THE TIRES ARE SOLD WITH A 60,000 MILE TREADWEAR WARRANTY.( DOT NUMBER: UNSURE TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
