I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. WE WERE ON VACATION LAST APRIL WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTERING. I STOPPED AND COULD SEE THE TIRES MISSHAPED: THE BELTS HAD COME APART ON TWO OF THE 4 TIRES. I HAD THEM REPLACED ON THE NEXT EXIT (WALMART) AND BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH I HAD TO REPLACE A THIRD. LAST WEEK I REPLACED THE LAST ONE, WHICH I STILL HAVE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )

I WAS FILLING A FIVE GALLON METAL GASOLINE CAN WHILE IT WAS SETTING IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK ON THE PLASTIC BEDLINER. WHEN I STARTED TO REMOVE THE PUMP NOZZLE FROM THE CAN A STATIC ELECTRICITY SPARK IGNITED THE CAN. I WAS BURNED ON FACE, HANDS AND ARMS. I HAD SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON HANDS AND ARMS. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AS WELL. I PURCHASED ANOTHER 1995 FORD F-150 TO REPLACE IT. THE DEALER, AL WHITE FORD, PLACED A STICKER IN THE REAR WINDOW WARNING OF THIS HAZARD. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS THE RESULT OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM FORD. IT IS GRATIFYING THAT EDUCATION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN IMPLIMENTED. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITHOUT HEAD RESTRAINTS. HOWEVER, THE HOLES WERE THERE. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NO REQUIRMENT.*AK
