I HAVE A SET OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER AP TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A TRACTION RATING OF A, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE TIRES OVER THE PAST 24,000 MILES, TRACTION IS VERY POOR WITH THESE TIRES ON WET AND DRY SURFACES. THEY BREAK TRACTION VERY EASILY, EVEN DURING SLOW ACCELERATION STARTS. SUDDEN STOPS ON WET SURFACES ARE JUST AS POOR.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT 50 MPH;I HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY THE SOUNDS OF A LARGE EXHAUST LEAK.WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND SPARK PLUG,COIL,AND BOOT EJECTED FROM #5 CYLINDER.I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE MY SERVICE PERFORMED AT.I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED BACK IN JULY OF 2003 AND HAVE IT SERVICED ON TIME,ALL THE TIME.THE TRUCK HAS A LITTLE OVER 51,000 MILES ON IT.I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY AND THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP TELL ME THAT IS GOING TO COST ME APPROX. $3000 TO REPAIR .THAT WILL CONSIST OF NEW HEADS ,COIL PACKS,SPARK PLUGS ,GASKETS AND OF COURSE LABOR.I ASKED THEM WHY DID THIS OCCUR AND NO ONE WILL GIVE A REASON WHY.*AK

THE STATE OF NEVADA, DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES, PURCHASED FOUR FORD F150 EXTENDED CAB, SHORT BED, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS, WITH THE TOWING PACKAGE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. BUDGET CONSTRAINTS DID NOT ALLOW THE ADDITION OF ANTILOCK BRAKES. WHEN THE REAR BRAKES BECOME DUSTY OR IN THE MORNING WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS HIGHER THE REAR BRAKES ON ALL OF THE TRUCKS TEND TO LOCK UP UNDER LIGHT BRAKING ON THE PAVEMENT. THE PROBLEM IS GREATER ON GRAVEL ROADS THAT COVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE RURAL PARTS OF NEVADA. THE REAR BRAKES LOCK AT INOPPORTUNE TIMES ESPECIALLY ON GRAVEL ROADS THAT LEADS TO THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK WANTING TO SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL. NO-ONE HAS BEEN INJURED TO DATE, BUT IT COULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN INCIDENT OCCURS. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE TRUCKS BACK TO FORD UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REAR DRUMS AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH OR WITHOUT NEW DRUMS AND BRAKE SHOES. I'VE ASKED ABOUT RECALLS, SERVICE BULLITINS, ETC., BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE NONE THAT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *AK

MY 2000 FORD F150 SUPER-CAB DOOR IS STARTING TO CRACK, APPROXIMATELY 3" ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. MY RESEARCH ON-LINE SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER FORD F150 FROM 1997-2000 ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO STATE THERE ARE NO KNOWN PROBLEMS OF THIS TYPE. *LA
