TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING APPROX 55-70 IN THE FALL THERE WAS A TREAD SEPARATION OF THE ABOVE FIRESTONE TIRE, ON THE RIGHT FRONT. THE TREAD FLEW UP AND HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK, LEAVING BLACK MARKS ON THE PAINT AND KNOEKING OFF A PORTION OF THE CHROME. THE TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT BUT WE WERE RIDING ON THE STEEL BELT. WE PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND REPLACED THE TIRE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE TIRES THAT IS BEING RECALLED, MAKING ME THINK THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER ALL THE TIRES THAT HAVE PROBLEMS.( DOT NUMBER: W1HLAT5077 TIRE SIZE: P235/75 )

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN WELDS ACCORDING TO LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER. ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MOVES WHENEVER THE CLUTCH OR BRAKE IS APPLIED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER FORD F150 TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IS A COST OF ABOUT $1000.00 TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REWELDED. IF THIS WELDMENT SHOULD BECOME MORE BROKEN, IS IT A POSSIBLITY OF THE ASSEMBLY BREAKING COMPLETELY OFF? THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NO BRAKES! IS FORD AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM? THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT IS COMMON. COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.
