NHTSA Complaint #10295382 — 2007 FORD F-150

I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE GOING 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY. MY 2007 FORD 150- SUPERCREW DROPPED DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED RIGHT. I COULD NOT STEER AWAY FROM AN 18 WHEELER THAT WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I BOUNCED OFF THE 18 WHEELER AND IT KNOCKED MY WHEEL STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I HAD $5000 IN PROPERTY DAMAGE . THE 18 WHEELER DID GO OFF THE ROAD AND HAD $70000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING AFTER PICKING MY TRUCK UP FROM THE BODYSHOP I HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THIS TIME I WAS GOING 35 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY TRUCK. THE BACK TIRES WERE FINE. THESE 2 BLOWOUTS OCCURRED WITHIN 1. 5 HOURS OF DRIVING ALL IN THE FRONT. TIRES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE EXCESS WEIGHT OF A F150 SUPERCREW. I HAD BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL ON MY LAST SUPERCREW AND HAD EXCELLENT RESULTS. I SPENT $690 TO REPLACE ALL GENERAL AMERITRAC TIRES. *TR
