1992 FORD F-150 Complaints

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE REAL BADLY, AND HE PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, FOUND NOTHING. THEN, RESUMED AND BY THE TIME HE REACHED HOME TIRE WAS ALMOST FLAT. HE EXAMINED TIRE AND FOUND THE TREAD WAS COMING OFF.*AK THE FIREST FAILED TIRE HAD SEVERE CRACKS BETWEEN THE TREAD. THE OTHER TWO TIRES ALSO HAD CRACKS. THE CUSTOMER REPLACED THEM. *YH

THE OIL PAN ON MY 1992 FORD F-150 RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OIL. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE BETWEEN $300-$400. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM, WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR & ENGINE SIZE (4.9). I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THE COST AND REOCCURRANCE OF THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF ONE OF THE INTANKS OF OUR (DUAL GAS TANK) FUEL PUMPS. THIS COST ME $385 TO HAVE REPLACED. I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT! IF THERE IS ANY MEANS OF HAVING THE MANUFACTURER COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS VEHICLE I WOULD BE GREATFUL FOR THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. JAMES WEIGEL. *AK

THE TREAD PEEL OFF THE TIRE AT 70 MPH, DAMAGING THE WHEEL WELL, FENDER, AND RUNNING BOARD. I RETURN TO FIRESTONE AND SHOWED THEM THE TIRE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO THING THEY COULD NOT, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL TIRES. WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE GOT KILLED. THESE FR480 NEED TO BE RECALLED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R75-15 )

PEOO 020; CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH ON HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE. SHE SAW TREAD FLYING BEHIND HER. SHE PULLED OVER AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE TIRE. TIRE WAS STILL INFLATED AT THIS TIME. *AK FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. *YH

CONSUMER WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL 93V125000.*AK A MALFUNCTIONING VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSED FUEL SPILLAGE. *YH

MY TIRES FAILED A DIFFERENT WAY .THE RUBBER SEPARATED FROM THE BEAD THAT SEALS AGAINST THE WHEEL. I HAVEN' T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEING MENTION DURING THIS RECALL. I HAD TO HAVE TWO FIRESTONE ATX TIRES REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM I ENCURED IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE TREAD SEPARATION THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75/R15 )
