THIS TIRE DID NOT JUST GO FLAT, IT DISITEGRATED. WE WERE RIDING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AND MY 15-MONTH-OLD WAS IN THE CAR. WE JUST GOT LUCKY THAT WE MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE PROBLEM LOOKS JUST LIKE THE ONES SEEN IN THE 15 AND 16 INCH FIRESTONS TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE SAVED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AND WE HAVE PICTURES OF IT ON THE CAR BEFORE IT WAS CHANGED. WE WANT TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS WE WERE THIS TIME. PLEASE CALL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK( DOT NUMBER: W2T6IRE378 TIRE SIZE: P265/70R17 )

THIS IS THE SECOND FORD VEHICHLE PURCHASED. INITIAL VEHICLE TRADED BECAUSE OF SAFTEY ISSUE INVOLVING SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE NEEDED AN ENGINE REPLACED AND EXTENSIVE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS BASICALLY UNTOUCHABLE FOR COMMENTS. SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO KNOWING THE ENGINES IN THE 1997- 1999 EXPEDITIONS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHEEL OF VEHICLE DISCONNECTED DUE TO LUGS:NUTS: BOLTS SHEARING OFF. I WAS INFORMED (BY MY BROTHER WHO IS A FORD TECHNICIAN) THAT NIGHT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON FORD EXPEDITION FOR THAT PROBLEM.*AK

AS I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, MY TIRE WENT FLAT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE TREAD IS PEALING OFF. THERE ARE TWO LONG PARALLEL CRACKS APPROX 2-3 INCHES APART IN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THE TREAD BETWEEN IS PEELING OFF AND THE BELT TREADS ARE PUSHING OUT. IF FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WITH ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST FROM THESE TIRE DEFECTS I CANNOT REST UNTIL ALL MY FIRESTONE TIRES ARE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND. I WILL BE CONTACTING A FORD DEALER TOMORROW IN HOPES OF GETTING CLEARANCE TO GET THESE TIRES CHANGED RIGHT AWAY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELLING FASTER MY SON AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED LIKE ALL THE OTHERS. I HAVE A HUSBAND AND 3 CHILDREN TO THINK ABOUT. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2T61RE318 TIRESIZE: R265S7OR17)

THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS THE DEALERSHIP INFLATES MY TIRES IMPROPERLY DURING SERVICE. THE DRIVERS DOOR READS THAT THE COLD PRESSURE FOR THE FRONT SHOULD BE 30 AND THE REAR 35. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN GETTING MY TIRES SERVICED FOR FREE BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTEND MY TIRE GAUGE IS WRONG. ONCE I HAD THEM CHECK THEM BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO LET PRESSURE OUT. ALL I WOULD ASK IS THAT THE SITUATION BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT CHECK THEIR TIRES WHEN THEY LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP IS IN A ACCIDENT AND HURT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )

AFTER CHANGING OIL COULD STILL SMELL OIL. THEN ,TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND BLOWN OUT HEAD GASKET. THIS WAS SECOND TIME. FIRST WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

WHILE FILLING UP VEHICLE WITH GAS AND UPON REACHING 11 GALLONS, NOZZLE EXPLODED, INJURING CONSUMER. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED, AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE NOZZLE WAS PLASTIC AND NOT MEDAL, IT HAD NOTHING TO GRIND OUT ON. PLASTIC CREATEED ELECTRICITY, A SPARK OF ELECTRICITY LIKE IF SOMONE SHOCKED AN INDIVIDUAL, THAT SET OFF EXPLOSION. *AK
