1999 Ford Expedition complaints

TIRE SHREDDED SO BAD IN A SPLIT SECOND WITH NO WARNING AND NO PUNCTURE WAS APPARENT. FIRESTONE DEALER REPLACED AT NO CHARGE..( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 25570R16 )

FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES P265/70R17 EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. *SLC

I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CAME INTO TOWN AND HAD A TIRE FAILURE WHEN I BACKED INTO A CURB AT VERY LOW SPEED (5 MPH+\-). THE FIRESTONE DEALER WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT SAYING IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD AND THE FORD DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, SO I REPLACED THE TIRE MYSELF. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

PE 00 020/TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: 1999 FORD EXPEDITION, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, DOT#VNCU1RD269 & TIRE SIZE P255/70R16. A RIGHT REAR BLOWOUT/ SEPARATION WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. *AK

RECENT FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL ONLY COVERS 15" WILDERNESS AT TIRES. I HAD A TIRE LOOSE PRESSURE/FLAT AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE TIRES CAME ON MY NEWLY PURCHASED 1999 EXPEDITION. WITH ONLY 3900 MILES, THE TIRE WAS DESTROYED, INCLUDING THE SIDEWALL FROM SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AFTER THE FLAT. I DID NOT INSPECT THE TIRE, I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE FORD DEALER THAT REPLACED IT THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE TIRE AND REPLACE IT IF RECOMMENDED. THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION I HAVE REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT IS A NOTE BY THE DEALER/SERVICE THAT THERE WAS A PUNCTURE TO THE SIDEWALL. THE SIDEWALL PUNCTURE DID NOT CAUSE THE FLAT. THE SIDEWALL DAMAGE WAS DUE TO THE TIRE FAILURE AT THE HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FORD DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE UNDER WARRANTY WITH ONLY 3900 MILES. NOW THAT THE FIRESTONE RECALL IS IN FORCE, 16 " TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED. SHOULD THEY BE? HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEMS, OR THE RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE, I WOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE TIRE, OR EVEN KEPT THE TIRE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION FOR MY COMPLAINT. MY FAMILY WAS ON VACATION WHEN THE TIRE FAILURE OCCURED, I CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE REGULARY AND IT WAS AT THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURES SPECS (35PSI). SHOULD THESE TIRES BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I AM TAKING MY FAMILY ON ANOTHER VACATION IN 5 WEEKS. WE WILL BE DRIVING 4000-5000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. I WILL DO MY PART BY CONTINUING TO INSPECT AND CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. PLEASE KEEP FIRESTONE HONEST AND IF THE 16" WILDERNESS TIRES SHOULD BE INCLUDED, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

ALL 4 TIRES TREAD CRACKED TO STEEL BELTS, 1/4-1/2 LENGTH CRACKS. 10-20 CRACKS PER TIRE, PARALLEL WITH TREAD, IN GROOVES. I DRIVE 18WHEEL TRUCK (11YRS) AND HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS INCIDENTS LIKE THIS. MY FIRESTONES ARE ABOPUT TO POP. NEITHER FIRESTONE OR FORD WOULD DISCUSS ON PHONE. WILL NOPT DRIVE UNTIL I BUY OTHER TIRES NEW AND WILL RETAIN OLD TIRES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: VNCU1RD498 TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

IN AUG, 99, I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 FORD EXPEDITION ON INTERSTATE 80 BETWEEN AUBURN, CALIFORNIA AND LAKE TAHOE, WHEN MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SWERVING ALL OVER THE FREEWAY. AFTER THE NOISE, MY KIDS LOOKED BACK AND SAW WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS SMOKE AND DEBRIS FLYING BEHIND THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I GOT EVERYONE OUT OF THE CAR AND WE CALLED THE AUTO CLUB ON OUR CELL PHONE TO COME FIX THE FLAT. I LOOKED AT THE FLAT TIRE, AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THE NATURE OF THE FLAT. THE TIRE SIDEWALL WAS TOTALLY DISINTEGRATED, BUT THE TIRE TREAD REMAINED IS ONE ROUND PIECE. I JACKED UP THE CAR AND REMOVED THE WHEEL, AND THE SEPARATED TREAD THAT SURROUNDED THE ALUMINUM WHEEL. I LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE SEPARATED TREAD, EXPECTING TO SEE A NAIL OR SOME OTHER EVIDENCE OF A PUNCTURE. THERE WASNT ANY PUNCTURE OR HOLE IN THE TREAD. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL SO I TOOK SOME PHOTOS RIGHT THERE. THEN I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PUT THE WHEEL AND SEPARATED TREAD IN MY CAR. THE AUTO CLUB TOW TRUCK ARRIVED JUST AS I WAS COMPLETING THE CHANGE. THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT, I WENT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA AND BROUGHT THE WHEEL AND THE SEPARATED TREAD. I WAS PRETTY UPSET AND REQUESTED A FREE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO ME TO BE A DEFECTIVE TIRE. HOWEVER, THE MAN AT THE FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS ROAD HAZARD AND THAT WARRANTY DID NOT APPLY. I COMMENTED TO

ALL 4 TIRES WHERE FOUND CRACKED BY SERVICE STATION AND VERFIED BY FIRESTONE( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/70R16 )

VEHICLE CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCES A NO START/TURN OVER CONDITION, CONSUMER CAN JUMP THE VEHICLE WITH CABLES AND IT IS FINE, THIS SITUATION HAPPENS SPERATICALLY, DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MODULE, HOWEVER IT STILL CONTINUES. *MJS

NOW WITH THE RECALL IN PROCESS THIS TIRE IS NOT INCLUDED, SHOULD IT BE???( DOT NUMBER: W2CUIRD249 TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

LEASED VEHICLE. UPON RECEIPT, NOTICED WHITE "PAINT" AROUND SIDEWALLS OF TIRES. SINCE RECALL ANNOUNCED ON P235'S, EXAMINED TIRES MORE CLOSELY TO SEE "PAINT" ACTUALLY "DIVETS" OF RUBBER MISSING OUT OF SIDEWALLS ON ALL TIRES AROUND ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE.

DEFECTS TO OUR OEM TIRES ON OUR NEW EXPEDITION, SIMILAR TO THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE MEDIA. IN MID0AUGUST, AFTER ONLY HAVING OUR TRUCK FOUR MONTHS AND WITH ONLY 2500 MILES ON IT, THE FRONT LEFT SIDE TIRE'S BELTS BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE. FIRESTONE REPLACED. FOUR MONTHS LATER, REAR RIGHT TIRE BEGAN TO GO FLAT AFTER HEATING UP, FIRESTONE TOOK OVER A MONTH OF TESTING ON THE TIRE ON THE TIRE AND REFUSED TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH WE RETURNED IT FOUR TIMES DUE TO THESE FLATS. FINALYY, AFTER A MONTH OF COMPLAINTS, THEY RELUCTANTLY REPLACED THE SECOND TIRE. TWO DEFECTIVE TIRES IN LESS THAN EIGHT MONTHS OF THE VEHICLE BEING NEW AND THEY REPORTED NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIRE. I NOTIFIED FIRESTONE AND FORD OF MY CONCERNS ON 8/28/99 AFTER THE FIRST DEFECT AND HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255-70-16 )

I STILL HAVE THE TIRE, WHEEL AND A DIGITAL PHOTO TAKEN THE DAY OF THE FAILURE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255 70R16 )

TIRE EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

FIRESTONE HAS RECALLED THEIR WILDERNESS AT FIFTEEN INCH TIRES BUT I HAVE SIXTEEN IN TIRES OF THE SAME BRAND.THESE TIRES ARE SHOWING CRACKS AT THE SAME LOCATION WHERE TREAD SEPARATION IS OCCURING ON THE FIFTEENS.I BELEAVE THAT THESE TIRES ON MY FORD EXPEDITION MAY BE UNSAFE.HOW CAN I PURSUE THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAVE THIS VEHICLE LEASED FROM FORD MOTOR CO.THESE CRACKS ARE CONSISTANT ON ALL FOR TIRES AND LOOK LIKE THEY ARE JUST WAITING TO SEPARATE. IF IT BELONGED TO ME I WOULD NOT DRIVE ANOTHER DAY ON THESE TIRES BUT IT IS ON A FOUR YEAR LEASE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

THE TIRE ON MY SUV SEPARATED SO BAD THAT IT LOOKED SHREDDED OFF ON THE RIM. I DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME UNTIL THE FIRESTONE RECALL ON THE SAME BRAND TIRE. ACCORDING TO WHAT IVE SEEN AND READ, FIRESTONE IS SAYING THEY ONLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE 15 INCH TIRE NOT THE 17. I DISAGREE AFTER SEEING PICTURES ON TV AND IN THE PAPER, MY TIRE LOOKED THE SAME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH THE SAME SIZE/BRAND TIRE AS MINE. THANKS( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265\70R-1 )

DRIVING ON I 75 GOING SPEED LIMIT (70MPH), 94 DEGREES OUTSIDE. DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE GOES FLAT. WHEN I STOP THE CAR AND LOOK AT THE TIRE THE TIRE HAS NEARLY DISENEGRATED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DON OLSON TIRE, A FIRESTONE DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $112.00 TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I ARGUED THAT THE TIRE MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE MUST HAVE BEEN LOW ON AIR OR HAD A NAIL IN IT. I ASKED ROGER AT DON OLSON IF HE FOUND A NAIL IN THE TIRE, HE SAID NO. I ASKED HIM IF ANY OF THE OTHER TIRES WERE LOW ON AIR, HE SAID NO. BUT, I STILL HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 15 INCH WILDERNESS TIRES AND NOT 16 INCH. I HAVE PLED MY CASE TO FIRESTONE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE AS OF THIS WRITING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2557016 )

TIRE DEFECT: DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WITH MY FAMILY OF FIVE WE HEARD A "BANG" AND REALIZED THE REAR RIGHT TIRE HAD BLOWN. BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE BLOW OUT WE FELT IMMEDIATELY THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN TO NEMER FORD. THE FORD EXPEDITION HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANY OFF-ROAD PURPOSE. NEMER FORD REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND SIMPLY REFERRED US TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US IT MUST HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED, WHICH WE KNEW WAS NOT TRUE. WE HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TIRE AND STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO PROVE TO SOMEONE THAT THE TIRE IS DEFECTIVE! FIRESTONE TOLD US WE NEEDED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE, I WILL NOT RISK MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BY PURCHASING ANOTHER FIRESTONE PRODUCT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R )

AFTER READING THE REPORTS IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THE FORD EXPLORERS AND THE TROUBLE WITH THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES, IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT I MAY BE EXPERIENCING SOME TYPE OF TROUBLE. EVERY NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, I HIT A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH A FEW SMALL POT HOLES AND CRACKS IN IT. WHEN I HIT THE HOLES, THE STEERING WHEEL WRETCHES FROM MY HANDS VERY HARD AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO MAKE A SHARP TURN AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. I CONTACTING THE CAR DEALER AND THEY WHERE NOT VERY COMPASSIONATE AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THIER PROBLEM ( JUST WHAT I WANT TO HEAR ) . SO, I WANT THIS ON RECORD IN CASE I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES AND BECOME A STATISTIC. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON THIS INVESTIGATION IF PSSIBLE.

ON A CLEAR OPEN ROAD, HIGHWAY 15, OUR TIRE BLEW OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. FIRST WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN SMOKE FROM THE REAR OF CAR, THEN THE CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SINCE THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEW WE TOOK THE TIRE TO GAUDIN FORD IN LAS VEGAS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE A ROAD HAZARD AND THAT WE WOULD NEED TO BUY A NEW TIRE, WHICH WE DID. ON OUR LOCAL NEWS THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL STORIES ABOUT THE SAME TIRES BLOWING OUT THE SAME WAY, BUT UNFORTUNEATLY FOR THEM, THESE PEOPLE WERE KILLED. I THINK THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
