Consumer Description

THIS REPORT RELATES TO THE CURRENT TIRE PROBLEMS WITH FORD EXPLORER VEHICLES. MY PREVIOUS LETTER TO NHTSA IS DATED 13 MAY 1997. YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND REREAD THIS LETTER. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS DELIBERATELY AND FLAGRANTLY PUTTING INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE LABELS INTO ALL FORD EXPLORER TRUCKS. THE REASON IS THAT THE TRUCK "RIDES BETTER" WITH LOWER TIRE PRESSURE (26 POUNDS). FORDS OWN MECHANICS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED AT LEAST 35 POUNDS OF AIR PRESSURE TO AVOID PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. THEN WHEN YOU GO BACK TO FORD AND TRY TO GET THEM TO REPLACE YOUR DAMAGED TIRES (IF THEY DON'T FAIL FIRST), THEY "STONEWALL" ALL YOUR LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS. TRUST ME, BECAUSE I WENT THRU THE WHOLE PROCESS AND GOT NO WHERE WITH FORD. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT PREMATURE TIRE WEAR OR DAMAGED/UNSAFE TIRES, THEY JUST WANT A NICE SOFT RIDE IN ORDER TO KEEP SELLING FORD EXPLORER TRUCKS. IF YOU PUT THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE INTO THE TIRES (35 POUNDS), THE TRUCK RIDES HARD AND ROUGH DUE TO THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. YOU FOLKS NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT, FORD IS LITERALLY GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER HERE. ARJ
