SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD AS IN NEAR EMERGENCY BAKING THE STEERING SYSTEM BECOMES INOPERABLE. SOMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF POWER STEERING IS LOST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING LOCKS UP. I FEEL THIS IS A FATAL DESIGN FLAW AND GOES TOTALLY AGAINST ALL INFORMATION THAT THE USE OF ANTI LOCK BRAKES SHOULD BE A "STOMP-STAY-AND STEER" PROCESS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *AK

TIRES:VALVE
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL VALVE STEMS CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF, CAUSING THE TIRE TO RAPIDLY LOSE AIR WHICH COULD RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO SHOWN UP ON OUR OTHER VEHICLE OF SAME YR.MK. MODEL. DEALER OFFERED TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A METAL VALVE STEM. UNDER WARRANTY, I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL TO CHECK OTHER VEHICLE'S OF SAME YR.MK.MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HATE TO THINK FORD WOULD WANT ANY MORE TIRE/WHEEL LAWSUITS IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.*AK *JB ****DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS******754105.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON I-10 @ MONROE ST. IN INDIO, CALIFORNIA AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I FELT THE TRUCK START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE, IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LOOKED IN MY MIRROR AND SAW THE TREAD COME OFF . WITHIN 1 - 2 SECONDS, I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION WHEN THE TIRE BLEW UP. AS ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING, I WAS PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPING. WHEN I DID GET STOPPED, I HAD TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 1/8 OF A MILE. LOOKING BACK AT THE TIRE TREAD, I OBSERVED ANOTHER VEHICLE STRIKING THE TIRE TREAD AND KNOCKING THE TREAD INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER AND UNFORTUNATELY, FELT IT FAR TOO UNSAFE TO TRY TO CROSS TWO OR THREE LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO RETRIEVE THE TREAD*AK.
