AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON JANUARY 30, 2001 OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE CAR COLLISION WITH A BRIDGE OVERPASS CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS TO OUR TRUCK. THIS WAS MAINLY A FRONT IMPACT WITH COLLATORAL DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OUR SON WAS IN A REAR SEAT AND ALL WERE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS. LUCKILY FOR US THE SEATBELTS DID THEIR JOB AND OUR ONLY INJURIES WERE RELATED TO THE SEAT BELTS HOLDING US IN PLACE. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. SINCE THERE WERE NOT SERIOUS INJURIES WE WERE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. MY NAGGING CONCERN WAS WHAT IF WE HAD NEEDED THEM? THAT IS WHY I'VE DECIDED TO REPORT AT THIS TIME PLUS WE RECEIVED NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM FORD THAT THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
TIRE FAILED DRAMATICALLY AT 70 MPH. ENTIRE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL SEPARATED. TRUCK WAS PULLING FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. TRAILER WEIGHT WAS 11,500 LBS WITH A HITCH WEIGHT OF 2000 LBS. TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED BEFORE HOOKING UP TRAILER, ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE FAILURE. REAR PRESSURE WAS 70 PSI AND FRONT PRESSURE WAS 45 PSI AS RECOMMENED BY FORD. FAILURE OF TIRE WAS ABOUT 10 MILES INTO TRIP. ONLY WARNING WAS A RUMBLING SOUND IMMEDIATELY BEFORE FAILURE. TIRE WAS CHECKED AT FORD. NO PUNCTURES WERE NOTICED. FIRESTONE HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED BECAUSE ALL FIRESTONE TIRES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THIS VEHICLE BEFORE THE TRAILER IS AGAIN TOWED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ILLEGBLE TIRESIZE: LT265/75R1)

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
1ST TIRE FAILED W/ TREAD SEPARATION OCT, 2000. DID NOT REPORT BECAUSE THOUGHT WAS ISOLATED INCIDENT. THEN, ON MAY 22, 2001, 2ND AND 3RD TIRES OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR FAILED WITH TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION WITHIN 125 MILES OF EACH OTHER. WE HAD TO LIMP HOME ON TWO USED TIRES. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS HURT IN ANY OF THE INCIDENTS. INITIATED CLAIM FOR MAY, 2001 FAILURES THROUGH TIRE DEALER. PER CONTINENTAL'S REQUEST, I SENT THEM BOTH TIRES. THEY NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT OF 2ND TIRE AND REFUSED TO PAY CLAIM FOR 1ST TIRE. THEY STATED TIRE HAD AT SOME POINT SUSTAINED PUNCTURE IN TREAD AREA WHICH HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THIS IS POSSIBLY TRUE. HOWEVER, CONTINENTAL WENT ON TO STATE THIS CAUSED GRADUAL LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE WHICH LED TO UNDERINFLATION WHICH LED TO TIRE FAILURE. NOT TRUE. I RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN ALL THE TIRES ALL THE TIME. THEIR FINDINGS ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS WHICH WORK FOR THEM BUT DO NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL SITUATION. I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN AFFORD ME IN THIS MATTER. WE ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS FROM 7-25-01 BEFORE THEY DISPOSE OF THE TIRE. SINCE THEY REJECTED MY CLAIM, ALL ATTEMPTS TO REACH THE PERSON @ CONTINENTAL WITH WHOM I WAS WORKING HAS FAILED. HER NAME IS KIMBERELY SOMERVILLE AND HER PHONE NO. IS: 704.588.4164.
