MOST PROBLEMS HAVE SIMPLY BEEN A NUISANCE, ESPECIALLY ON TOP OF THE SIX RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. INCLUDING 5 RECALLED TIRES WHICH TOOK TWO MONTHS TO REPLACE AND SHOWED SERIOUS SIGNS OF TREAD SEPARATION. HOWEVER, FOUR DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE GAS PEDAL BECAME LODGED TO THE GROUND. I REACTED BY PUTTING MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL AND PULLING IT FORWARD.

ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE WHETHER THE CAR WAS WAITING FOR A LIGHT OR TRAVELING MAKING IT NECESSARY TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FORCEFULLY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM SURGING AHEAD, WHILE WAITING AT A LIGHT THE CONSUMER HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BECAUSE IT WAS RACING SO FORCEFULLY THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE HIT CROSSING PEDESTRIANS, THE OVERDRIVE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE IS RACING AGAIN, POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE LINKAGES.

MY TIRES APPEARED AS IF CATS HAD SCRATCHED THEM. THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES WERE PEELING OFF. I RETURNED THESE TIRES AND HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THESE WERE NOT THE TIRE IN QUESTION. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT GET ANY MONEY BACK. THE TIRES IN QUESTION WERE OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I, ALSO, JUST HAD A SET OF TWINS AND WANT ONLY THE SAFEST FOR MY CHILDREN. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED TO GET REINBURSEMENT? I DID THE RIGHT THING BY GETTING THOSE TIRES OFF OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNCUIPX518 TIRESIZE: 255-70-16)

NEITHER HAS THE COMPANY BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO WHEN THE REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE RENDERED. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235-75-15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235-75-15 )

I DO HAVE THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES DESIGNATED WITH THE NUMBER P235/75R15. HOWEVER, I HAVE A DOT PLANT CODE OF W2, NOT VD. IN FIRESTONE'S VOLUNTARY RECALL, THEY ARE RECALLING THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES WITH THE VD DOT CODE ONLY. IN YOUR CUSTOMER ADVISORY DOCUMENT, YOU ARE GIVING A WARNING TO A WILDERNESS AT TIRES WITH A W2 DOT, ONLY THE SIZE ON THIS ONE ON YOUR DOCUMENT IS P235/7016. SO IT LOOKS LIKE TECHNICALLY, MY TIRES, THE WILDERNESS AT P235/75R15 WITH AT DOT OF W2 DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ANYTHING. BUT IN EVERYDAY REASONING, I DON'T SEE WHY MY TIRES ARE ANY LESS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE OMITTED ON YOUR DOCUMENT. I DO CONTAIN A SET OF TIRES THAT CAME FROM A PLANT DESIGNATED W2 WHICH ALREADY HAS A PROBLEMATIC SET OF WILDERNESS AT TIRES. I DO CONTAIN A WILDERNESS TIRE SIZE OF A WILDERNESS AT THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED 'UNSAFE'. AFTER DOING SOME READING AND WATCHING SHOWS LIKE "DATELINE" ON MY OWN, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN GO TO ONE PLANT AND SAY 'THESE SET OF TIRES AT THIS SIZE ARE BAD BUT THESE SET OF TIRES WITH THE SAME SIZE AS THE TIRES THAT ARE BAD AT ANOTHER PLANT ARE ALRIGHT'. FIRESTONE SEEMS TO HAVE A QUALITY PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ITS TIRES, PERIOD. I READ AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY A GUY WHO HAS STUDIED THE FIRESTONE TIRES AND HE SAID THE CHEMICALS USED IN PRODUCING THE TIRES DON'T BOND WELL. THESE CHEMICALS WILL BE THE SAME IN EACH TIRE NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK AT. FIRESTONE CHOSE TO GET RID OF THE STEEL BELT AROUND THEIR TIRES WHICH MAKES TIRES MORE STURDY. AND WHO IS TO SAY THAT

A CHUNK OF TREAD CAME OFF THE TIRE EXPOSING THE STEEL CORDS ON THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES (FIRESTONE P235/75R15), CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT BUT WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED FROM A COMPETITOR PRIOR TO APR 9, 2000. NLM

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 MPH TOUCHED GAS PEDAL AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, WHERE CONSUMER PRESSED BRAKES PEDAL TO STOP, BUT DID NOT STOP UNTIL TURNED OFF IGNITION SWITCH. *AK THE VEHILCLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THREE TIMES. *YH

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HEARD A POPPING NOISE, SHE PULLED VEHICLE OVER AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION, WHICH ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER FEELS FIRESTONE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIRES AND DAMAGES TO VEHICLE. *SLC

CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH FAULTY FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES, THE INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE WAS INCORRECT IN STATING TO LOOK NEAR THE "F" IN FIRESTONE, THE WEBSITE NEVER SAID TO LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE THEREFOR CONSUMER CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, UPON LATER INSPECTION THE CONSUMER DID HAVE RECALLED TIRES DOT CODE VDHL. NLK

CONSUMER BELIEVES THE TIRE RECALL LETTER WAS POORLY WRIITEN IN GIVING CONSUMER ADEQUATE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO IDENTIFY THE DEFECTIVE TIRES, CONSUMER LOOKED TWICE FOR THE LETTERS "VDHL" BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THEM, IT WASN'T UNTIL TIRES ROTATION , FIVE MONTHS LATER, THAT THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT HE INDEED HAD THE RECALLED TIRES. NLM

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELT LATCH. MY 9 YEAR OLD WAS PUTTING ON THE SEATBELT WHEN THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE SEATBELT LATCH CAME OUT OF THE HOUSING. THE INTERNAL PARTS CAME OUT INTACT. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEATBELT WOULD HAVE FAILED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DEALERS FEEL IT ALSO IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM SINCE RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON ANYTHING ELSE, ALL THREE CALLS I RECIEVED, ONE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TWO FROM RECOMENDED DEALERS ALL FOCUS ON THE SEATBELT. NO MENTION IS MADE OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS (UNTIL I BRING IT UP), BUT THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE SEATBELT IMMEDIATLY.*AK

VEHICLE PUCHASED 10/27/99, AFTER VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO CHECK A NOISE, OWNER WAS INFORMED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE INCLUDED IN RECALL 00T-005, TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *CJ

THIS EXPLORER IS EQUIPPED WITH AWD SYSTEM. DURING THE INCIDENT THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT ON ICE BUT THE 4WD DID NOT ENGAGE, SO THE FRONT WHEELS HAD NO TRUCTION. DUE TO THIS I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE THE VEHICKLE SMASHED IN TI THE BERRIER AND FLIPPED OVER AND ROLLED 180 DEGRIES. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS.*AK

THESE TIRES STARTED, THE SAME TYPE OF CRACKING AS DID THE 15"TIRES. WE WENT TO THE FORD DEALER AND TO A FIRESTONE DEALER, THE ONLY THING THEY KEPT TELLING US WAS THAT THE CRACKING WAS NORMAL.AND THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO , BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE TIRES BEING RECALLED. I TRAVEL @ 200 MILES A DAY, AND WE ALSO HAVE A, NOW 10 MO. OLD GRANDCHILD. WE PURCHASED SOME GOODYEAR TIRES FOR THE SAFEFTY OF OUR FAMILY AND FOT PEACE OF MIND. WE KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE TIRES, AND THE CRACKS WHERE INCREASING IN SIZE. WE VIDEO TAPED THE TIRES AND HAVE IN ON TAPE. WE FEEL THAT FIRESTONE/ FORD, SHOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THE PRORATION OF THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW TIRES. AND WE FEEL THAT, NHTSA, SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND EXAMINE AND IF NEED BE RECALL THESE OTHER TIRES. THANK YOU, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US, AND VEIW THE VIDEO TAPE. FRANK BOSZE E. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VNCU 1PX TIRESIZE: 255/70R/16)

I SAW THE RECALL ON EARLIER VEHICLES, BUT THE FORD DLR ON THIS REQUEST REPLACED THE FRONT END SUSPENSION ON MY TRUCK AFTER CLAIMING THEY HAD SEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND FORD CALLED IT AN "ENGINEERING FLAW". I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL REVIEW THIS PROBLEM AND EXPAND IT'S RECALL.

ON 11/24/00 I HIT A DEER GOING 45-50 MPH. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK. THE FRONT FENDER OF MY TRUCK IS CRACKED. THE LICENSE PLATE FLEW 100 HUNDRED FEET AS DID THE DEER. WINNER FORD SAID THAT THE IMPACT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO LOCK THE SEAT BELTS OR CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO INFLATE. THIS WAS SAID WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE TRUCK. ON 11/26/00 I WAS BRINGING THE TRUCK TO WINNER FORD, THE TRUCK THEN SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNING OVER AS IF IT WAS STILL ON. ON CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS SEEN THAT YOU COULD SEE THE METAL BEHIND THE PLASTIC CASING. THERE WAS A GAP OF A 1/4 INCH OR MORE. THE TRUCK SHUT OFF 3 MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ELECTRIC MODUAL CHANGED. THE FIRST TIME I WENT THEY TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN DONE, BUT IT WAS NOT. SO I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A SECOND TIME AFTER MY WIPERS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. *AK

THE LEFT SIDE FRONT TIRE HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR, THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT TIRE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED MANY TIMES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE TIRES STILL CONTINUE THE WEAR PATTERN, NO NAME OR SIZE OF TIRE WAS GIVEN, THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE TIRES OR THE SUSPENSION. *SLC

THE FIRESTONE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE INCLUDED IN RECALL 00T-005, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER IS STILL ON A WAITING LIST FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES, ONE OF THE TIRES CRACKED AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE SPARE TIRE. *SLC
