TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 80 EAST OF IMLAY, NV AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN LANE #2, THE LEFT REAR TIRE LOST ABOUT 80-85% OF IT'S TREAD IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, EXTENSIVELY DAMAGING THE UNDERSIDE WHEEL WELL AREA NEAR THE TIRE AND THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER LOST, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS VEERING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND VIOLENT LOUD BANGING AS THE TREAD PIECES WERE HITTING THE VEHICLE. THE REMAINING TIRE CARCASS DID NOT LOSE AIR PRESSURE, AND WE MANAGED TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT HIGHWAY SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING AND DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT FLAT, WE SLOWLY DROVE ABOUT ONE MILE TO THE NEXT EXIT, LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THE 4 TIRES HAD ALL BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED AND HAD ABOUT 11,045 MILES ON THEM SINCE ALL FOUR WERE PURCHASED IN 2012. THE TIRES ARE B F GOODRICH, LT265 / 75R16, "RUGGED TERRAIN T/A". THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F-250 SUPER CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME WE TOOK THE 2015 DIESEL TRUCK TO THE DEALER. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR TESTERS AND NO FINDING. OUR TRUCK SHOOK, SPUDDERED AND HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND (CLICKING). THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED SUDDENLY. IT IS CONTINUEING. THE DEALER ASSURES US THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED WHEN THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM ON THEIR TESTERS. THEY ALSO INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY DIRECTIIVES FROM HIGHER UP ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DIESELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD DIESEL AND I'M NOT FEELING ANY LOVE. MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE IS RUNNING SUPER.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELLING IN MORNING RUSH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IN AUSTIN, TEXAS I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I APPLIED CONSIDERABLE BRAKE PRESSURE. I CAME WITHIN 6 INCHES OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MPH AT THE TIME. ON THE RETURN TRIP IN THE EVENING RUSH HOUR IT WAS ALSO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO PUT AS MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE AS I COULD TO SLOW THE TRUCK (DOING 1 MPH OR LESS). I STILL TAPPED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. AT THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE TRUCK, I HEARD THE ENGINE RPM REV UP AND A POPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK UP ON THE ISSUE.

TIRES
FORTUNATELY THE TIRE CAME APART WHILE LYING IN THE BACK OF MY PICK UP TRUCK. I WAS USING IT AS A WINTER TIME SPARE. THE TIRE WAS NOT IN USE AT THE TIME OF THE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE LAYERS. I HAVE 2 OF THEM AND ARE THE ONES I USE FOR SUMMER TIME DRIVING. TREAD IS ABOUT 50%. THE TIRE BURST FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE RIPPING AWAY THE TREAD AND LEAVING THE CENTER OF THE TIRE EXPOSED WITH THE CORDS EXPOSED AND INNER LAYER OF TIRE EXPOSED. I DO STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND WILL KEEP FOR A SHORT TIME IN CASE IT IS NEEDED FOR INSPECTION. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE.

TIRES
ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2011, A KUMHO ROAD VENTURE AT TIRE, SIZE LT235/85R16, DOT K2ORYD4A3508 (MANUFACTURED AT KUMHO?S BINH DUONG PLANT IN VIETNAM IN THE 35TH WEEK OF 2008) SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC TREAD SEPARATION, RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURIES TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER OF THE FORD F-250 AND THE DEATH OF HER SON, WHO WAS 32 WEEKS OLD AND STILL IN UTERO.

STEERING
WE HAD TRAVELED APROXIMATELY 450 MILES AND ON THE LAST LEG OF A TRIP IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE DRIVER NOTICED ON THE LAST 150 MILES OF THE TRIP THE STEERING WHEEL HAD CHANGED POSITION WHERE THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL NORMALLY WAS HORIZONTAL, WAS NOW 45 DEGREES OFF AND VERTICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON ARRIVAL TO DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE MOVED AND UNLOADED WHEN THIS WAS ATTEMPTED THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TURNED WITH NOT CONTROL OF THE WHEELS. SO WE WERE UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER AN INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS PLACED ON A FLOOR JACK TO RAISE THE FRONT END TO LOOK FOR PROBLEMS UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER TURNING THE WHEELS MANUALLY IT WAS NOTICED THE ARM THAT COMES FROM THE STEERING BOX WAS LOOSE AT THE ELBOW. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE SHAFT WAS SHEERED OFF AT THE STEERING BOX. WE WERE LUCK IT FAILED WHEN WE WERE NOT ON THE ROAD. IT MUST DID THE FINAL FAILURE WHEN WE DROVE INTO OUR DRIVE WAY AND PARKED. THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DISASTEROUS ACCIDENT IF THIS HAD FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE MOUNTAIN ROADS WE HAD JUST DRIVEN ON OUR TRIP.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP AND THE FRONT TIRES STARTED TO HOP, INCREASING IN INTENSITY THE ENTIRE TIME. THE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY SCARY, AND I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, VERY CAREFULLY, SINCE I HAD HARDLY NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAVE NOTICED THE HOPPING OF THE FRONT TIRES EVERY TIME I HIT A LITTLE BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY OR A POTHOLE. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS LESS FREQUENT TRAVELING ON LOCAL ROADS AT A SLOWER PACE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE TIRES STOP FROM HOPPING IS TO EITHER GRADUALLY PULL OFF THE ROAD, OR JERK THE WHEEL IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER VIOLENTLY. EITHER WAY I DO NOT CONSIDER IT SAFE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RECENTLY I TOOK MY FORD F250 SD TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED AND ROTATED. THEY WERE UNABLE. TO ALIGN MY VEHICLE DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR , VIBRATION ,AND SEPARATION ON BELT EDGES TO ME WAS OF GREAT CONCERN. THE MILEAGE ON MY FORD F250 IS ONLY 23,600 MILES. MY TRUCK IS A 2008 FORD F250 WITH THE ORIGINAL TIRES ,CONTINENTAL HAS A RECALL ALERT ON CERTAIN TIRES. THE MAKE AND SIZE ARE M+S LT 275/65 R18 123/120S. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD I TOOK IT TO THREE TIRE SHOP AND THEY ALL DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF THE TIRES...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THERE ANY THING YOU CAN DO TO REPLACE OR CREDIT ME ON A NEW SET OF TIRES...'

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS TRAVELLING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. A FORD F-250 WAS IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT. AS MY LANE WAS PICKING UP SPEED, HIS LANE WAS SLOWING DOWN. SUDDENLY, HE CHANGED LANES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH HE DID HAVE HIS TURN SIGNAL ON, I DID NOT SEE IT, DUE TO IT BEING THE SAME COLOR AS HIS ON/OFF BRAKE LIGHTS. TO ADD ON TO THAT, HE HAD HIS TAILLIGHTS ON, MAKING HIS TURN SIGNAL INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM HIS RUNNING LIGHTS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. AFTER RESEARCHING, I CONCLUDED I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT FAULT IF I HAD HIT HIS TRUCK, EVEN THOUGH HE DANGEROUSLY SWITCHED LANES WITH A BARELY VISIBLE TURN SIGNAL. I ASSUME THE REASON I DID NOT ANTICIPATE HIS MANEUVER IS BECAUSE MY BRAIN RECOGNIZED THE DIM TURN SIGNAL AS THE DRIVER TAPPING ON HIS BRAKES (AS ONE OFTEN DOES IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC). IT SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR CAR MANUFACTURES TO PIGGY BACK TURN SIGNALS ONTO BRAKE LIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN A CAR (THIS F-250 FOR EXAMPLE) USES A SINGLE BULB FOR THREE PURPOSES (BRAKE/TURN/TAIL LAMP), IT CREATES CONFUSION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. ORANGE/YELLOW/AMBER TURN SIGNALS REDUCE THE TIME FOR THE BRAIN TO REALIZE THIS CAR IS INTENDING TO TURN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVEN A FRACTION OF A SECOND COULD MEAN AVOIDING A DEADLY ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I REALIZED MY OWN CAR HAS THE SAME SETUP! (2013 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES OF CONFUSION OVER THIS, BUT THIS CLOSE CALL BROUGHT ME TO SAY SOMETHING OVER THIS LACK OF EFFORT TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY, AS IT IS A SIMPLE REGULATION THAT COULD HELP SAVE LIVES. I FOUND OUT THAT AMERICAN/CANADA ARE THE ONLY COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT MANDATE AMBER TURN SIGNALS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.

SEAT BELTS
FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS, MY SON HAS BEEN DRIVING THE 2001 F250 SD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT HAS UNLATCHED ON ITS OWN. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 3/7/03 UNDER RECALL 01S21 SEATBELT. "BUCKLES WERE INSPECTED, OK AS PER 01S21, NO REPAIRS NEEDED." WE WERE CHARGED $27.16 FOR THE INSPECTION. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY (5.27.15). THEY HAVE NO ADVICE FOR US. THERE ARE MANY OPEN COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I'VE SEEN THE REPORTS OF MANY INJURIES ALREADY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WE HAVE HAD ABOUT FOUR OCCASIONS WHERE OUR TRUCK SUDDENLY BEGINS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE, CANNOT CONTROL THE SHIMMY UNTIL YOU CAN SLOW IT DOWN UNDER 30 MPH. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT ABOUT 33,000 MILES. TWO TIMES IT WAS COMING OFF BRIDGE, HITTING A STEEL CHANNEL AT THE JUNCTION AND ONE TIME A LARGE HOLE. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS ONE WHEEL HITTING THE HOLE OR DEPRESSION BEFORE THE OTHER WHEEL HIT. WE TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP.....NO IDEAS THERE. THEY REBALANCED THE LEFT TIRE AND NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN COMING OFF A BRIDGE. ABOUT 38,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE SAME THING. CANNOT CONTROL THE SHIMMY UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. MOST FRIGHTENING! I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THIS IS FIGURED OUT! BIG, OUT-OF-CONTROL TRUCK IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA.
