TIRES
THE FRONT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE INDENTIONS IN THE TREAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FIRESTONE DEALER TO INQUIRE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IF THESE TIRES WERE BEING RECALLED OR NOT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT APPEARED AS IF THE BELTS HAD BROKEN LOOSE IN THE TIRE. THE MANAGER CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A TIRE DEFECT, MY FRONT END WAS OUT OF LINE. (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE DOES NOT PULL TO EITHER SIDE) THESE DECISIONS WERE REACHED JUST BY LOOKING AT THE TIRES IN THE PARKING LOT. ARE THERE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF TIRE? WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
REAR AXLE SPINDLE SEALS LEAK CAUSING GREASE TO CONTAMINATE REAR BRAKE PADS AND CAUSING LOCK UP OF REAR WHEELS AND LOSS OF CONTROL. PAID FOR UPGRADE FROM FORD GARAGE WHICH FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. FORD GARAGE TOLD ME THAT PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF FORD TRUCKS WITH SAME REAR END AS MINE AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. AS IT IS I HAVE BEEN REPLACING SEALS AND BRAKE PADS EVERY 15,000 MILES TO AVOID A WRECK AT A COST OF 300.00 DOLLARS A REPAIR.

TIRES
TIRES ARE CRACKING AROUND THE BEAD ON THE RIM. I HAVE CONTACTED COOPER ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD MY SUSPENSION IS STIFF CAUSING THE TIRE TO FLEX MORE THAN NORMAL. I HAVE CONTACTED LES SCHAWB, AND BIG O TIRE COMPANIES ABOUT THIS STATEMENT, AND WAS TOLD THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG. COOPER HAS REPLACED 4 SETS OF TIRES IN 2 YEARS. THEY MADE SURE THAT DOT NUMBERS DID NOT MATCH ON THREE OCCASIONS. COOPER HAS TOLD BE I WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE TIRES BECASUE I HAVE A LOAD RANGE D TIRE, AND FORD RECOMENDS A LOAD RANGE E. THE TIRE I HAVE PURCHASED WILL CARRY APROX 500LBS MORE THAN THE TIRE FORD RECOMENDS. THIS IS WHY LES SCHWAB AND BIG O TIRES ARE SAYING COOPER IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF REPLACING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 28161-3 TIRESIZE: 285/75/R16)
