TIRES
THE TIRE SEPARATED AND COMPLETLY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY,OUR EXPERIENCED DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT CAUSING A ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FENDER, SIDE OF TRUCK AND EVEN TOPPER OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, OUR EMPLOYEES FELT THE VEHICLES WERE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THESE TIRES ON THEM. AS A RESULT WE HAVE REPLACED THE EXISTING FIRESTONE STEELTEX TIRES ON OUR WORK VEHICLES, 20 TIRES. WE DID NOTIFY MATTHEWS CURRIE FORD(OUR DEALER) REGARDING THE PROBLEM IMMEDIALTY. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE TIRES AT NO COST TO US, WE PAID FOR ALL OF THEM. WE ALSO HAVE RECORDS OF THE REPAIR AND HAVE WHAT IS LEFT OF THE DAMAGED TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. WE CAN EMAIL PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TRUCK AND TIRE TO YOU. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VNW81XM TIRESIZE: 265/75R1)

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE PROBLEM IS A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC ONE AS A SINGLE FAILURE OF ANY COMPONENT FROM THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION TO THE REAR WHEELS WILL, WHEN PARKED, WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. THE ONLY PARKING BRAKE PROVIDED IS A DRUM BRAKE AT THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT. WHEN PARKED BESIDE THE ROAD IN STEEP TERRAIN LIKE ROCKY MTN NAT'L PARK WITH NO GUARD RAIL A SINGLE FAILURE WILL LIKELY RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE AS WELL AS VEHICLE. THE BOLTS ON MY FRONT U-JOINT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FOUND LOOSE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALL AUROMOBILES AND OLDER MOTORHOMES HAVE BOTH CABLE OPERATED REAR PARKING BRAKES AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION LOCK. ANY SINGLE FAILURE IN EITHER SYSTEM WILL STILL LEAVE THE VEHICLE SECURELY PARKED. I AM NOT WILLING TO BET MY LIFE OR MY WIFE'S LIFE ON NOT HAVING A SINGLE FAILURE. I AM SEEKING MODIFICATION/REPLACEMENT OF REAR CALIPERS TO PROVIDE REDUNDANT PARKING BRAKE, LIKE MOST OTHER VEHICLES.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT CALIPERS DO NOT RELEASE AS NECESSARY TO STOP VEHICLE. THE BRAKE FLUID TEMPERATURE REACHES AN EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE WHICH IS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO NOT RELEASE. THESE BRAKES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT WITH NEW PARTS AND TAKEN APART AGAIN TO RE-LUBRICATE IN HOPES OF A SUCCESSFUL REPAIR. DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE. THERMOPANE WINDOW SEALS HAVE BECOME DEFECTIVE AS THEY LEAK (CONDENSATION FORMS BETWEEN PANES OF GLASS) COMPANY (FLEETWOOD CORP.) REFUSED REPLACEMENT BASED ON SHAPE OF THE CORNERS OF THE GLASS. 7 OUT OF 9 WINDOWS ARE AFFECTED INCLUDING DRIVER'S WINDOW WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO OPERATE VEHICLE/ THE REMAINING WINDOWS ARE THROUGOUT THE COACH (EXCEPT FOR WINDSHIELD). A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER AGREED THEY NEEDED REPLACING, FLEETWOOD DECLINED.*AK
