TIRES:TREAD/BELT
A FRIEND WHO IS IN THE TIRE BUSINESS CALLED ME OUT TO LOOK AT MY TIRES ON THAT MORNING. HE SHOWED ME HOW THE TIRE WALL WAS SHREDDING AND THAT WAS NOT NORMAL AND URGED ME TO BRING MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP IMMEDIATELY, SO I DID. AT THAT TIME, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT COULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, EVEN THOUGH MY FRIEND INSISTED THAT TIRES SHOULD NOT TEAR LIKE THAT. HAVING VIEWED THE RECENT NEWS RELEASES ABOUT THIS HAPPENING, I DECIDED TO LOG MY COMPLAINT. THE SALESPERSON AT FIRESTONE TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR COULD NOT BE MADE, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE, WHICH I DID. SINCE THEN, I HAVE INCURRED ANOTHER FLAT TIRE. THIS TIME IT WAS A NAIL, HOWEVER WHEN THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DEFLATED, THERE WERE SOME THREADS THAT WERE PARTIALLY SHREDDED, HOWEVER I WAS ADVISED BY FIRESTONE THAT THE SHREDDING WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE TIRE FLAT AND WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE SOME SEPARATION. NOW I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, BUT CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P23570R16 )

NOTICE ABOUT FIRESTONE TIRE SEPARATION. I HAD ONE SEPARATE, WHEN I HAD IT REPLACED AT THE FIRESTONE DEALER , I ASKED IF HE HAD OTHERS FAIL, HE SAID THERE WERE TWO OTHERS BOTH ON FORD PICKUPS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU OF A PROBLEM THAT I HAD WITH MY 2001 FL50 SUPERCREW. MY TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH A 4X4, 5.4 LITER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TOWING PACKAGE, AND IT WAS AN XLT LARIAT. ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES! MY REPORTED CONCERN IS THAT THE SUSPENSION IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE RATED TOWING CAPACITY. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH. A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I MOVED TO THE LEFT LANE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY TRAILER'S EMPTY WEIGHT WAS 5000 LBS AND I ESTIMATE THAT I HAD ANOTHER 1000-1500 LBS INSIDE. THE TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BARS AND AN ANTI-SWAY BAR(REESE MFG.). WHEN I CHANGED LANES THE TRUCK SWAYED/LEANED HARD TO THE LEFT, THEN SWAYED HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE TRUCK THEN ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES AND LANDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SLIDING DOWN THE EDGE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK AND OUR 29 FOOT CAMPER WERE TOTALED. THERE WERE FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK: MYSELF, WIFE, AND TWO CHILDREN. EVERYONE SURVIVED WITH MINOR CUTS A
