SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FRONT WHEEL BEARING MALFUNCTION WHICH JUST ABOUT RESULTED IN A POTENTIAL CRASH IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. LUCKILY I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT FIXED THE PART SAID IT WAS SEALED AND WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I CALLED FORD BACK TO REPORT IT AND THEY INSIST THERE IN NO PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 5 FRIENDS WHO HAVE EXPEREINCE THE EXACT PROBLEM IN THEIR F250 TRUCKS. I ALSO REFERRED FORD TO A WEBSITE CHAT THAT INDICATED OVER 200 OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL AT DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE OWNERSHIP (10K, 25K, 50K MILES) SOME UNDER WARRANTY SOME NOT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ENOUGH FOR FORD TO TAKE OWNERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS AS WELL AS LOOK INTO THE MATTER. THEY CONTINUE TO PUT THIS PART ON THE TRUCKS KNOWING THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND CANNONT FUNCTION ONT HE SUPERDUTY TRUCK FRONT ENDS. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH DIFFERENT FORD MECHANICS WHO ADMIT IT IS A "KNOWN PROBLEM" AND THEY KEEP THE PART IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY REPLACE THEM SO MUCH. THE WORD FROM FORD ABOVE IS "IF IT IS IN WARRANTY FIX IT, IF IT IS OUT CHARGE, AND IF THEY COMPLAIN COMPENSATE" WHEN ASKED ABOUT POTENTIAL ACCIDENT IT WAS SAID "THEY WOULD DEAL WITH IT AS THEY ARISE". I THINK THIS NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO. I AM ONLY OUT $500 BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY BE OUT ALOT MORE IF THAT FRONT END LOCKS UP GOING 70 DOWN A HIGHWAY.

TIRES
ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE HAD TWO FIRESTONE TIRES CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE VIA COMPLETE BLOW OUT AND SEPERATION. I AM ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES THAT ARE HEAR TO TELL OF MY NEAR CATASTROPHES INVOLVING FIRESTONE TIRES. FARMER INSURANCE REPAIRED MY VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME AND SENT THE BLOWN TIRE ( WHAT WAS LEFT ) TO FIRESTONE AND A LETTER WAS SENT TO FARMERS INDICATING THAT LOW TIRE PRESSURE WAS THE CAUSE. THE SECOND TIRE WAS SEPERATED IN MARCH OF 02 AND ONCE AGAIN DAMAGED MY VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN, I RECEIVED THE RESPONCE BACK. IT WAS THE SAME OLD STORY. IMPROPER AIR PRESSURE. MY VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AN AVERAGE OF 700 MILES PER WEEK. MY TIRES ARE MAINTAINED BY FLYIN J TRUCK CENTERS AND MY AIR PRESSURE IS DOCUMENTED FREQUENTLY AS REQUIRED. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT INSUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE IS THE STANDARD ANSWER GIVEN BY FIRESTONE TO NEGLECT COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGES WHICH OCCUR BY THEIR FAULTY TIRES. THIS TREND IS VERY ALARMING AND I AM HOPING THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT CAN GET INVOLVED INTO A RESOLUTION. I AM VERY DISTURBED BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, FIRESTONE IS ABLE TO INSPECT THEIR OWN TIRES WITH NO INDEPENDANT AGENCY OVERSEEING THE PROCESS. ALSO HAVING A PARALEGAL ON STAFF TO SIGN THE DOCUMENTS SO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS THWARTED FROM RESPONDING. I WILL BE HAPPY TO FORWARD VIA FAX, ALL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE CONTACTED ALL AGENCIES INCLUDING, FOX NEWS, NEVADA ATTORNEY GENERAL, PRIVATE COUNCIL, SENATORS HARRY REID AND JOHN ENSIGN, AND THE U.S. DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM NOT GOING TO STOP MY CAMPAIGN UNTIL FIRESTONE STANDS UP AND TAKES THE RESPONCIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES DUE TO FAULTY WORKMANSHIP OF THEIR TIRES. I BELIEVE FIRESTONE INTENDS TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE GETS SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS COMPLAINT AND A FAX NUMBER WHERE I CAN FORWARD ANY CORRESPONDENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER AND I WILL WAIT TO HEAR BACK.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0 LITER DIESEL PICKUP. THIS IS A NEW ENGINE JUST RELEASED THIS YEAR. THEIR ARE ALREADY MANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS FROM FORD. ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS RUNNING ROUGH, STALLING, SLOW RESPONSE FROM A STOP, ETC. FORDS LATEST BULLETINS TO THEIR DEALERS IS THEIR IS NO FIX FOR THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS MY BELIEVE THESE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET UNTIL THEY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING WHY THEY ARE STILL SELLING THESE TO THE PUBLIC AND NOT INFORMING THEM THEIR COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THEM. I PRESENTLY OWN ONE OF THESE AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 30 DAYS SINCE DEC 9TH. AT THE PRESENT TIME MY IS SO BAD I CANNOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THEIR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ARE WE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY AND THEN TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM? TS
