ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 2000, 4 RUNNER; TREAD ON ALL FOUR TIRES HAS SEPARATED FROM SIDEWALL AT 70MPH. PLEASE PROVIDE THE DOT#. *AK

3 TIRES FAILED IN 1 YEAR -- TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM OUTER SIDEWALL (CAN PUT YOUR HAND INSIDE). IN MOST RECENT FAILURE, A NAIL WAS FOUND TO HAVE PENETRATED TREAD, CAUSING THE AIR TO ESCAPE PRIOR TO TIRE FAILURE. SEPARATION RUNS 360 DEGREES AROUND THE TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M612 ENER TIRESIZE: P205/55R16)

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN DECELERATION AND ALSO AT ACCELERATION. OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN TURNING. LEFT MY FAMILY OF FIVE ALONG WITH 2 OF THEIR FRIENDS STALLED IN INCOMING TRAFFIC. OTHER STALLING EVENTS ALSO REQUIRED OTHER DRIVERS TO TAKE ACTION TO AVOID HITTING FRONT OR REAR OF VEHICLE. DEALER PERFORMED PCM REPROGRAMMING IN ACCORDANCE WITH TSB 98-25-6 AND CORRECTED STALLING PROBLEM. WHILE WIFE REPORTED STALLING INFREQUENTLY WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, THE STALLING FREQUENCY INCREASED TO 1-2 TIMES A DAY AFTER TRANSMISSION SERVICE BY DEALER AT APPROX 47,000 MILES. I AM HAPPY THAT THE CAR IS NOW FIXED BUT FORD HAS NOT OFFERED TO PAY FOR REPROGRAMMING WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSTARS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ITEM. THREE OTHER PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE OCCURED WITH THIS CAR IS GOODYEAR INVICTA TIRE SEPARATION (TIRES REPLACED PRIOR TO FAILURE); POWER STEERING PUMP FLUID CONTAMINATION; AND NOISY TIE END RODS. TIRE REPLACEMENT PRORATED. POWER STEERING FLUID FLUSHED AT MY EXPENSE. TIE END RODS REPLACED UNDER BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE STALLING PROBLEM AS A SAFETY RECALL. I AM STILL TRYING THRU FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR CORRECTING THE STALLING ASSOCIATED WITH TSB 98-25-6.*AK (TIRESIZE: 21570R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 21570R15 )

RIGHT REAR GOODYEAR MARATHON TRAILER TIRES, SIZE: ST225/75R15D, DOT: UNKNOWN EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION AND A BLOWOUT WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ON A 7% GRADE. ALL FIVE TIRES ON TRIALER HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES DUE TO CONTINUAL BLOWOUT. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 4,000 TO 5,000 MILES ON TIRES WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. OTHER TIRES WERE EXAMINED AFTER BLOWOUT, AND A BULGE WAS FOUND ON SIDEWALL OF LEFT REAR TIRE - TIRE WAS REPLACED BY GOODYEAR SHOP. *AK CONSUMER STATES GOOD YEAR HAS THE TIRES.*JB

CONSUMER HAD FOUND A BUBBLE ON LEFT REAR TIRE. PREVIOUSLY HAD EXPERIENCED TWO BLOWOUTS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. HAD ASKED THE PLACE WHERE HE BOUGHT TIRES, BUT THEY COULD NOT INDICATE WHY IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING.*AK *JB

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH FRONT LEFT TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT. GOODYEAR, WRANGLER, P-265/70R17. *AK CONSUMER STATES TIRE WAS TOO BLOWN APART TO DETERMINE IT THERE WAS A TREAD SEPARATION AND FEELS THAT THESE ORIGINAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRES SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED ON A HEAVY SUV SUCH AS THIS. *SLC

EXTREME WEAR OF TIRES WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRE SIZE P235/75R15, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MOUNTED ON A DODGE, RAM, 1999. IT WAS THE TWO FRONT TIRES. HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON I 95 WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 70 MPH. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH FROM THE LEFT LANE THEN BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS LUCKY THAT NOBODY WAS BESIDE ME AT THE TIME. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD I SAW THAT THE WHOLE TREAD WAS GONE OFF THE TIRE. IT BENT UP THE QUARTER PANEL AND RIPPED THE TAILPIPE OUT OF THE MUFFLER. THE TREAD HAD HIT SOME OTHER CARS AND WAS ABOUT 1/4-1/2 A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. THE TIRES ALL HAVE LARGE BULGES OF UNEVEN TREADS. I CALLED GOODYEAR AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES AND ANY WEAR PROBLEMS ARE PROBABLY THE FAULT OF MY VEHICLE. THEY DID SAY THEY WANT THE BLOWN TIRE AND WILL REPLACE IT, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE OTHERS. SO THEY ARE ALL IN MY GARAGE WAITING FOR A RECALL. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL ME AT MY WORK #. THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: 31/10.5/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31/10.5/15 )
