I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL 05S34 THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FORD DIESELS. MY VEHICLE IN CURRENTLY BROKEN DOWN ABOUT 60 MILES FROM MY HOME.

TIRE FAILURE. B F GOODRICH UUF212210. I HAD 2 OF THE TIRE FAIL IN JUNE 2012. I HAD THE OTHER 2 TIRE EXAMINED AND WERE SAID TO BE GOOD. THE 3RD TIRE FAILED IN SEPTEMBER CAUSING MY TRUCK TO LEAVE THE HI WAY TROTALING OUT THE TRAVEL TRAILRE I WAS TOWING TO ROLL OVER AND TOTALED OUT. B F GOODRICH DENIED MY CLAIM SAYING IT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZZARD. I NEVER HIT ANYTHING IN ANY OF THE TIRE FAILURES. I HAVE THE TIRE AND PHOTOS OF THE OTHER 2 TIRES THAT HAD BELT FAILURES. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCE. I BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE SET OF TIRES WERE DEFWECTIVE AND THAT B F GOOD RICH IS TRYING TO COVER IT UP. I BELIEVE THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER. *TR

TRAVELING AT REGULAR MOTORWAY SPEEDS (55 - 70) THE TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AND CONSTANTLY. IT STOPS ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO BELOW 30MPH. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER COMPLAINTS AND WILL BE CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE AND SEEING IT A STEERING DAMPENER CAN BE ADDED. THIS VEHICLE WAS UNLOADED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND HAD ABOUT 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL ON BOARD. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY 2004 FORD 250 SD TRUCK CAME ON AND I CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THEY WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS TALKING WITH A SALESMAN AT A FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HE SAID THIS COULD COST UP TO $1,000 TO REPAIR. I INQUIRED IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED IT HAS NOT BEEN. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THIS ISN'T LIKE AN ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION ISSUE, THIS IS SAFETY! THIS BAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME AND CAUSE BODILY HARM OR EVEN DEATH! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TT
