PE00 020 ; ALL FOUR TIRES' TREAD SEPARATED FROM VEHICLE. TIRE WAS FIRESTONE LT, 26575R16, STEELTEX, R4S #DOT VNW81XY150. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. SIDEWALL WAS DEEPLY CRACKED ALL AROUND TIRE THAT FINGER TIP COULD PENETRATE TIRE. *AK

SIDEWALLS ARE COMING APART IN CHUNKS. ALL 4 TIRES ON THE SAME VEHICLE IN THE SAME MANNER.*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )

THE SIDEWALL SEPARATED COMPLETLY. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THEM. IT SEPARATED TONIGHT (3-31-01) AT 8:30 PM WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH. THE CAR HAD FOUR ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN IN IT. NO ONE WAS HURT. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY PUNCTURE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE TIRE TO LOSE AIR. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE EXPOLORER HAD?*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )

SINCE OWNERSHIP VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEMS, VEHILCE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED, CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE RANDOM PARTS THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE STALLING PROBLEM. *JB

I CONTACTED THE FORD HOT LINE, THEY SAID THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. THE BLURRED VISION IN THIER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DOES NOT PRESENT A SAFETY ISUE AT "THIS TIME". I FEEL NOT BEING ABLE TO ADEQUATELY JUDGE THE DISTANCE OF OTHER VEHICLES ON THE SIDES OF SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE, AT NIGHT, DOES PRESENT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT GIVEN THE SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE.
