1994 FORD F-150 Tires Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN MY COOPER TRENDSETTER SE TIRE SHREDDED FOR NO REASON. DOT NUMBER 3DHLC2T4106. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE TIRE AT THIS POINT. *TR

EFOD TRANSMISSION - 3RD ONE CURRENTLY INSTALLED, ALONG WITH SECOND CONTROL MODULE. RADIATOR SEPARATED AT TANK SIDE JOINTS CAUSING LEAKS. IDLER AND TENSION PULLEYS FAILED. TIRES WERE ORIGINALLY FIRESTONES- TWO HIGH SPEED BLOWOUTS BEFORE IT BECAME NATIONAL NEWS. REPLACED A/C COMPRESSOR IN FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. SECOND CLOCK MECH. INSTALLED IN STEEERING WHEEL, CAUSED LOSS OF AIRBAG, HORN, CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT WENT OUT BOTH TIMES. REPLACED U-JOINTS. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP EVERY 20,000 MILES. REPLACED FAILED MASS AIR SENSOR AND COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR. REPLACED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE.

FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRES SIMULTANEOUSLY BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. AS A RESULT, DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IMPACTED A GUARD RAIL. UPON IMPACT OF THE GUARD RAIL VEHICLE SPUN SEVERAL TIMES. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD, BACK, AND FOREARM INJURIES. *AK

RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. CAUSE OF THE SEPARATION WAS UNDETERMINED. *AK

TWO OF THE GENERAL TIRES SUPPLIED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TREAD DELAMINATION AND FORMED LARGE BULGES IN THE TREAD AREA--ABOUT 12" IN LENGTH X THE TREAD WIDTH AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES--WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ONE ANOTHER--IN MID 1995. BOTH BULGES OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS--65-70 MPH. BOTH OCCURRED ON REAR TIRES. THE TRUCK INCLUDED NO CARGO EXCEPT FOR 2 TO 3 OCCUPANTS. THE TREAD WEAR AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WAS ABOUT 60-70 PERCENT, AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT BELIEVE SUCH A DEFECT WAS PURSUEABLE AS A WARRANTY ITEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER. BEING SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THESE ORIGINAL TIRES, I THEN REPLACED ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES WITH MICHELINS, AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THESE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED AT OR NEAR RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES. GIVEN THE RECALLS OF FIRESTONE TIRES SINCE THEN, I NOW SUSPECT A...

THE FIREHAWK TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING, THE CUSTOMER HAD IT REPLACED WITH A WILDERNESS AT TIRE, SOON AFTER THE WILDERNESS AT TIRE WAS REPLACED, CUSTOMER NOTICED A LARGE CRACK AROUND THE SIDEWALL, ALL 3 ORIGNAL TIRES WERE CRACKING (FIREHAWKS)(FIRESTONE FIREHAWK ATX 30X9.50 R15 LT M/S). NLM

FIRST FAILURE WAS A BLOWOUT IN TOWN AFTER DRIVING 6 MILES. SECOND WAS A COMPLETE TREAD PEAL WHILE TOWING A 19' TRAVEL TRAILER. (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: P23575RX15)

FIRST TIRE FAILURE WAS A BLOW OUT AT ABOUT 70 MPH. SECOND TIRE FAILURE WAS BROKEN STEEL BELTS. THE TIRE WAS REMOVE BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE. THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED WHEN IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE TREAD WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE ALONG THE EDGES OF THE TIRE. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE BETWEEN LATE MAY AND EARLY AUGUST (THE WARM MONTHS). *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDHL TPA TIRESIZE: P235/15R75)

WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH THE TIRE CAME APART AT THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE PROBABLY HAS ONLY 25K APPROX MILES ON IT. THE POLICEMAN AND A TIRE DEALER BOTH LOOKED AT THE TIRE, AND BELIEVE THAT IT JUST CAME APART. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE TIRE HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE, OR WAS PUNCTURED IN ANY WAY.( DOT NUMBER: W2??? TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

PE00 020; CONSUMER WAS GOING TO WORK AND VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THEN, HE WENT TO START VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THAT TIRE ON THE LEFT REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWNOUT FROM SITTING IN THE YARD. TIRE IS A FIRESTONE FR480, P23575R15, VDHLDOT. CONSUMER STATED THAT HE HAD CONTACTED FIRESTONE.*AK

PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH 19000 MILES. THE ORIGINAL SPARE WAS NEW WHEN THE SECOND SET OF TIRES WERE NEEDED. WENT TO FIRESTONE AND SAID SELL ME 3 NEW ONES JUST LIKE THE SPARE. AFTER ABOUT HALF THE LIFE OF THE TIRES OR MORE, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH ON 11-14-98 AT 3:00 AM IN THE MORNING GOING GOOSE HUNTING WITH MY TWO BOYS. ALL THE TREAD COMPLETETLY PEELED OFF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND I FISHTAILED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKLIY NOBODY ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD. THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT AND STILL HAD AIR IN IT WHEN I GOT STOPPED. I CHANGED THE SPARE IN THE DARK WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND WENT ON. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO FIRESTONE AND HAD THE TIRE ADJUSTED. THE NEXT FOLLOWING DAY I NOTICED THE TIRE HAD BADLY DAMAGED THE FENDERWELL ABOVE THAT TIRE. WENT BACK TO...

I DID NOT KNOW WHO ELSE TO REPORT MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK SO I AM HOPING I AM NOT WASTING YOUR TIME BY FILLING THIS OUT. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCH IN TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES INSPECTED THEY SAID THEY PASSED INSPECTION, OR IN THEIR WORDS "THEY COULD VISIBLY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM" BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME IN WRITING. AFTER I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE FORM THEY HAD FILLED OUT, IT STATED THAT I HAD "REQUESTED NO INSPECTION - MISCELLANEOUS CHECK". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AFTER SEEING A CLOSEUP OF A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE FROM A WRECK ON THE CBS NEWS I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE LOOKED WORN JUST LIKE MY TIRES ARE WEARING. MY TIRES ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD, I REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TIRES WITH THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT IN JULY 1998. I FIRMLY...
