TIRES
WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE TIRES BREAK BEADS, CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOOSE THEIR AIR PRESSURE. NEITHER TIME CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE TIRE, OR TO THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY HAVE PROVED TO BE UNRELIABLE, AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY ARE BEING LOOKED AT FOR RECALL, AND BASED ON MY LIMITED EXPERIENCES, I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION. I FEEL VERY APREHENSIVE EVERY TIME I GET IN MY TRUCK.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 008062 TIRESIZE: 265/75R16)

TIRES
I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BIG O TIRES IN SONORA FOR THE FIRST TIRE ROTATION AT 11,600 MILES. THE SERVICEPERSON TOLD ME I HAD "SCALPING" DAMAGE TO MY TIRES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A HEAVY LOAD NOR HAVE I TOWED ANYTHING. I KEEP THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE IN THE TIRES AND CHECK THE PRESSURE REGULARLY. I FEEL THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL A/T TIRES MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM RESULTING IN THE DAMAGE. I ALSO HAVE FACTORY INSTALLED HEAVY DUTY SHOCKS WHICH CAME WITH A TOWING PACKAGE I ORDERED WITH THE TRUCK. *AK (TIRESIZE: LT23585R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

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)
