THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.

TIRES
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SOUTH OF KANSAS CITY ON MO HIGHWAY 71. SHE WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE LEFT LANE OF A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE "EXPLODED, IMMEDIATELY PULLING HER OFF THE ROAD DOWN A 3-4 FT. EMBANKMENT INTO THE MEDIAN. LUCKILY, SHE AVOIDED ROLLING THE TRUCK AND WAS NOT PERSONALLY INJURED. THE TIRE HAS SEPERATED BELTS AND LOOKS LIKE IT "EXPLODED". THE TIRE IS A FIRESTONE STEELTEX A/T LT 265/75 R16 DOT VNW8 1XL 289. IT IS NOT LISTED IN THE FIRESTONE RECALL. THE TRUCK BUMPER, FENDER AND WHEEL WELL WAS DAMAGED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2002 F250 SUPER DUTY. WHEN I COME TO A FULL STOP, AND THEN TAKE OFF THERE IS A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS SLACK IN THE DRIVE TRAIN SOMEWHERE. YOU CAN FEEL A DOUBLE BUMP KINDA OF FEELING. WHEN TOWING A TRAILER IT IS WORSE. THE FORD DEALER SAID SOME TRUCKS DO THIS AND SOME DO NOT, BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE THEY THINK IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 F250 FORD WILL MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. IT DOES NOT DO THIS EVERY TIME BUT IT HAS DONE IT AROUND TEN TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. THE TRUCK WILL MOVE FORWARD , SOMETIMES ABOUT FOUR TO SIX INCHES. THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING WHEN IT WILL DO THIS. I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID FORD TOLD THEM THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE. *JB
