TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. WE WERE ON VACATION LAST APRIL WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTERING. I STOPPED AND COULD SEE THE TIRES MISSHAPED: THE BELTS HAD COME APART ON TWO OF THE 4 TIRES. I HAD THEM REPLACED ON THE NEXT EXIT (WALMART) AND BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH I HAD TO REPLACE A THIRD. LAST WEEK I REPLACED THE LAST ONE, WHICH I STILL HAVE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES, SUSPENSION
BOTH INCIDENTS, INVOLVED THE REAR RIGHT HAND TIRE POSITION LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE EXHAUST PIPE EXIT. IN BOTH CASES 90% OF THE TIRE SHREDDED BY ITSELF DOWN TO THE STEEL BELTS. TIRES REMAINED INFLATED IN BOTH CASES. BOTH TIRES HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. (ONE TIRE WAS A NEW REPLACEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, THE 2ND WAS THE ORIGINAL SPARE). THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER 20 MILES HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT 70MPH, HOWEVER THE PREVIOUS DAY THE TRUCK HAD COMPLETED 800 MILES CONTINUOUS HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER 6 HOURS CONTINOUS HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 70MPH. IN BOTH CASES THE INCIDENT BEGAN WITH SEVERE "FELT-LIKE" WHEEL WOBBLE, THEN IMMEDIATE SEVERE JOLTING AND LURCHING OF THE TRUCK ACROSS THE HIGHWAY LANES OUT OF CONTROL. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURED AND I STOPPED SAFELY. IN THE 2ND INCIDENT THE SHREDDING OF THE TIRE ALSO RIPPED OUT THE EXHAUST BARCKETS, BENT THE EXHAUST PIPE DOWNWARDS (REQUIRED RE-BENDING TO OBTAIN DECENT ROAD CLEARANCE). I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I REPLACED BOTH REAR TIRES WITH NEW FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES AT FORD. I AM NOW DEEPLY WORRIED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN, AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY I HEAR THERE ARE NOW REPORTS OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES SHEDDING. IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN GENERAL TIRES AND FIRESTONE, BOTH SUPPLIED BY FORD? IS THERE A CONECTION WITH THE EXHAUST EXHITING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE TIRE CAUSING SEVERE OVER HEATING OF THE TIRE? I SHAL BE REPLACING THE EXHAUST WITH A REAR EXIT EXHAUST AT MULLINAX..*AK( DOT NUMBER: A308443276 TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I TRAVELED TO HOUSTON FRON NORTH CAROLINA. ON MY WAY BACK MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE FELL APART ON I-610. LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS JUST GETTING ON I-610 FROM AN ON RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT . I FOUND THAT MY TIRE HAD JUST TORN APART ON ME. I CALLED FORD EXTENDED SERVICE AND THEY HAD A TOW TRUCK COME IN AND REPLACE THE TIRE WITH MY SPARE. ONCE IN NC, I REPACED ALL MY TIRES FOR FEAR OF A REOCCURANCE OF THE PROBLEM IN MY OTHER TIRES. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH THE SAME NAME BRAND AND TYPE. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE TIRES WERE UNDER INVESTIGATION OR I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BRAND. I ESTIMATED THE $300.00 DAMAGE ON THE LOST TIRE, THE QUESTIONABLE CONDITION OF THE MAG RIM, AND THE LOST RIM COVER. I THINK THAT IT IS CRIMINAL THAT FORD AND FIRESTONE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND NOT INFORMED THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HOPE NHTSA DOES EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO CORRECT THIS. I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS WITH BOTH FIRESTONE AND FORD. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
