SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES
WE FIRST HAD THE FRONT BRAKES PULL RIGHT WE HAD THE TRUCK IN 2-3 TIMES FOR THAT PROBLEM THEY FINALLY FIXED IT. BUT NOW THE BRAKES PULL LEFT. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE/ELECTRIAL PROBLEM. ALL OF THE SUDDEN EVERYTHING ELECTICAL QUITS WORKING. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CLASSIFY THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPLACE A MODULE AND IT STILL HAPPENS. WE ARE AWAITING FOR THEM TO FIX AGAIN. ON THE TIRES ONE BLEW OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON A VERY DARK ROAD 1 MILE FROM THE HOUSE MY HUSBAD DROVE IT HOME TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE REFUSED TO FIX BECAUSE HE DROVE ON IT. APPROX A MONTH LATER WE WERE ON A ROAD DRIVING ONLY APPROX 45 MPH. MY HUSBAND FELT SOMETHING WHEN WE WERE AT A LIGHT,WE PULLED IN TO A STORE JUST PASSED THE LIGHT GOT OUT AND THE BACK RIGHT TIRE HAD BLOWN. WE CHANGED THE TIRE TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT ON A RECALL EVEN THROUGH THEY CLEARLY HAD THE WHITE RING ALL AROUND THE TIRE WHERE IT HAD COME APART. WE REPLACED THE TIRES WITH COOPER TIRES. WE STILL HAVE THE TIRES. GOODYEAR INSPECTED AND AGREED IT WAS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING. ON THE WARRANTY PROBLEMS WE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE ARBITRATION BOARD. THEY STATED SINCE WE USE THE TRUCK FOR BUSINESS WE CAN NOT HAVE THE TRUCK REPLACED. NO WHERE IN ANY OF MY DOCUMENTATION STATES THAT. IF THIS WERE SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW WE USED THE TRUCK FOR BUSINESS. THE BUSINESS CONSIST OF A HANDYMAN BUSINESS. THE MOST WE DO TO THE TRUCK IS PUT ON MILES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNW81XL TIRESIZE: 265 75R16)

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS MATTER, FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. I AM REQUESTING HELP, THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 98 CHEV SUBURBAN. WHAT I CAN DO TO PREVENT A FATAL ACCIDENT BOTH ARE BIG TRUCK. *AK

TIRES
WE FIRST NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD A CRATER LIKE CRACK BETWEEN ONE TREAD. THE CRACK WAS ABOUT 3" LONG. WE THEN INSPECTED THE REST OF THE TIRE. WE FOUND SMALLER CRACKS ALL AROUND THE TIRE AND INBETWEEN OTHER TREADS. WE INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND THAT ALL THE TIRES HAD SMALL CRACKS INBETWEEN THE TREADS, THEY WERE NOT AS BIG AS THE LEFT REAR, BUT THEY WERE ALL AROUND THE TIRES. THE CRACKS IN THE OTHER 3 TIRES RANDGED FROM ABOUT 1/8" TO 1/2" IN LENGTH. WE CONTACTED OUR FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WE THEN CONTACTED A FIRESTONE DEALER IN OUR AREA AND BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR INSPECTION. THEY SAID THE TIRES SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH THE SAME TIRES. WE EXSPESSED OUR CONCERNS ABOUT REPLACING THE TIRES WITH THE SAME ONES. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE TYPE. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED IF THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THIS TIRE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT WE ARE DRIVING ON A SAFE TIRES WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS BEING REPORTED WITH FIRESTONE. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS PERTICULAR TIRE BRAND AND NOW HAVE REPLACED THEM WITH THE EXACT SAME BRAND. IF I HAD AN EXTRA $700 TO $800 TO SPEND I WOULD NOT HAVE REPLACED THEM WITH THIS BRAND. THE FIRESTONE DEALER SAID THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE TYPE AND BRAND AND THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE. BEING REPLACE FOR FREE SEEMED TO BE AN OKAY DEAL AT THE TIME, BUT NOW I AM QUESTIONING THAT DECISION. IF YOU CAN HELP AT ALL, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY, BRIAN BARTO AND FAMILY. *AK (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: 265/75/16)

TIRES
THE TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE BLOW OUT WAS LOCATED AT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HOLES THAT COULD BE FOUND. WE BROUGHT THE TIRE INTO FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FIND A HOLE BECAUSE THESE TIRES DON'T JUST BLOW. I WAS ALSO TOLD ON THE PHONE THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I HAD SUCH A HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE, OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE ROLLED. JUST APPALLING TO HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM A PERSON THAT WORKS AT THE FIRESTONE STORE. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE IS RECALLS HAPPENING NOW. WE ASKED IF THIS PARTICULAR TIRE WAS BEING RECALLED, BUT WAS TOLD "NO". WE ENDED UP BUYING ANOTHER TIRE AND THEY PRORATED THE RATE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 26575R16 )

TIRES
THE TIRE BLEWOUT ON THE FREEWAY. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARED TO BE NO REASON FOR THE BLOWOUT OTHER THAN TIRE FAILURE. THE SIDEWALL AT THE TREAD LINE WAS COMPLETELY SEPERATED ALL THE WAY AROUND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE. FIRESTONE WOULD ONLY HONOR THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY ON THIS ONE TIRE. IT WAS REPLACED AT A PRORATED PRICE WITH THE SAME MODEL. *AK( DOT NUMBER: VNW8 1XL TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. THE TEMPERATURE ON THE DAY OF THE FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100 DEGREES. THERE WAS SUFFICENT TREAD ON THE TIRE AND THE PRESSURE WAS MAINTAINED AT 70 PSI. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT THE TREAD SLUNG UPWARD INTO THE TAIL PIPE DRIVING IT INTO THE FENDER, CAUSING $800.00 WORTH OF BODY DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE NOT RECEIVING THE ATTENTION OF THE TIRES ON THE FORD SUV'S BECAUSE TRUCKS DO NOT TEND TO ROLL OVER, THEREFOR FATALITIES ARE NOT REPORTED. THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER NEGATE THE FACT THAT FIRESTONE HAS PRODCUED A BAD TIRE THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/85 R16 )
