SUSPENSION:REAR, TIRES
REAR SUSPENSION TOO WEAK TO CARRY TRUCK BODY CAUSING OVER TRAVEL ON SPRINGS WHEN DRIVING WITH 500LBS OR MORE IN TRUCK BED. MY TRUCK CAN EQUIPED WITH A SERVICE BODY TOOL BOX.THE TIRES WERE BEGINNING TO RUB TO UNDERSIDE OF TRUCK. FORD DECIDED TO REPLACE SUSPENNISION WITH A LARGER CAPICITY. I WAS STUCK WITH THE INSTALLATION COST OF $600.00 TIRES: MY LEFT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A SIDEWALL BLISTER THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL IN JUNE,2000. GENERAL TIRE REPLACED BOTH FRONT TIRES AT NO COST BUT AGAIN I PAID FORD $25 INSTALL COST. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO MY LEFT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A SIDEWALL BLISTER THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. I'VE REQUESTED THAT GENERAL TIRE REPLACE ALL TIRES WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURE BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. THEY ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRE BUT I DON'T TRUST THERE QUALITY ENOUGH TO RIDE MY FAMILY ON. FORD HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED AT LEAST 20 OR MORE GENERAL TIRES ON THE SAME STYLE TRUCK IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. SIDE WALL BLISTERS ARE VERY DANGERS AND CAN EXPLODE AT ANY TIME ESPECIALLY AS THE TIRE GETS HOTTER. GENERAL TIRE INFORMED ME OVER THE TELEPHONE THAT THEY ARE GETTING A UNUSUALLY HIGH NUMBER OF REPORTS FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME TIRE. THESE TIRES MAY BE MISSING THE NYLON PLY IN THE SIDE WALL OR THE COMPONET COMPOUND USED FOR ADHESION IS DEFECTIVE.( DOT NUMBER: ADOR1JC289 TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

TIRES
TIRE DID NOT "BLOW OUT" OR MAKE LOUD NOISE TO INDICATE A SUDDEN PUNCTURE. WHILE MAKING INITIAL ENTRANCE ONTO TWO MILE LONG BENICIA BRIDGE THE DRIVER HEARD A "FLAPPING" NOISE WHICH GOT LOUDER. SINCE I COULD NOT STOP ON BRIDGE SAFELY, I SLOWED SPEED AND WAS "SHEPHERDED" TO END OF BRIDGE BY A ANONYMOUS SEMI-TRUCK DRIVER WHO SAW THE TIRE FALLING APART. I REPLACED TIRE WITH SPARE WHEN SAFELY OFF THE BRIDGE. AS A RESULT OF HAVING TO DRIVE ON THE WHEEL ONLY THE FLAPS OF SIDEWALL WERE LEFT OF THE TIRE. I REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE AND PROCEEDED ON MY WAY AND CONTACTED THE DEALER.( DOT NUMBER: VNW81XM TIRE SIZE: 265/75R16 )
