POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT ABOUT 1/2 WAY BEFORE ENGAGING. DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE CLUTCH AND SHIFT TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER TO SCHEDULE REPAIR HE SAID NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE VERY FAR BECAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND HAS REDESIGNED THIS PART DUE TO MANY FAILURES. EVEN THOUGH AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR, I THINK A SAFETY RECALL IS NEEDED SINCE THESE VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED TO HAUL OR CARRY HEAVY LOADS AND THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $305.26

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
HAD JUST COMPLETED DRIVING 280 MILES ON I-10 AND TEMPERATURE WAS APPROX. 100 DEGREES. TIRES WERE AT 80 PSI AND HAD BEEN CHECKED PRIOR TO TRIP. EXITED OFF I-10 ONTO COUNTY ROAD AND THEN ONTO ANOTHER SECONDARY ROAD. HAD JUST ACCELERATED TO 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD LOUD BANGING NOISE AND AND FELT BACK END VIBRATE. PULLED OFF ROAD AND STOPPED WITHIN 100 YARDS. FOUND THAT RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM MOUNTED TIRE AND IT WAS NOW WRAPPED AROUND AXLE IN ONE PIECE. THE INTERIOR TIRE WAS DESTROYED AND WHEEL WAS RESTING ON SHREDDED SIDEWALL AND RIM. TIRES ARE 10 PLY, E RATED. INSPECTION OF ENTIRE SEPARATED TREAD REVEALED NO PUNCTURES OR OTHER DAMAGE. VEHICLE OFTEN USED TO PULL HORSE TRAILER. BELIEVE HAD TIRE TREAD SEPARATION OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, COLLISION/ROLLOVER COULD HAVE RESULTED DUE TO RAPID TIRE DEFLATION ONTO RIM AND TREAD WRAPPING AROUND AXLE. AM STATE POLICE OFFICER AND HAVE INVESTIGATED MULTIPLE INJURY/FATALITY COLLISIONS INVOLVING FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. TIRE SEPARATION IN THIS INCIDENT APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR.*AK

TIRES:BEAD
ON 7-28-02 I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND WITH MY 26' FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER ON U.S.90 EAST OF SYRACUSE, N.Y. WHEN I FELT A SLIGHT SHIMMY IN MY STEERING. THE SHIMMY SOON BECAME A SEVERE WOBBLING SO I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE FIRST EXIT I CAME TO IN SYRACUSE. ON EXAMINING THE TIRE I SAW THAT THE STEEL CORE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I PUT ON MY SPARE TIRE AND THE NEXT DAY CONTINUED BY TRIP. ON 8-7-02 I WAS NORTHBOUND ON NORTH DAKOTA 281 SOUTH OF JAMESTOWN WHEN I FELT ANOTHER SHIMMY IN THE TRUCK NEAR HIGHWAY 34. THIS TIME I DISCOVERED THAT THE STEEL CORE OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD SEPARATED THE SAME AS THE FIRST. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE I CONTACTED LOCAL FORD AND FIRESTONE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THESE TIRES ARE NO LONGER WARRANTED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPLACE THEM.*AK
