2000 Ford Explorer complaints

THE TURN SIGNAL AND WIPER SWITCH WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO RECALL (OOV-072) WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE REASON FOR FAILURE. *ET

NO SUMMARY

VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR OVER 24 HOURS WHEN VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE FOR NO APPARENT CAUSE. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SYSTEM ,PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE CALIPER. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

FIRESTONE SAYS THIS TIRE IS NOT ON RECALL LIST. IT SHOULD BE. FORD WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY. MY QUESTION TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS WHETHER OR NOT THEY KNEW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TIRES AT THE TIME THEY SOLD ME THE VECHILE. IF THEY DID KNOW AND DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION TO ME, THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. (DOT NUMBER: XX TIRESIZE: P255R7016)

HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES ON VEHICLE AFTER 14,888 MILES - SIGNS OF TREAD SEPARATION ON TWO OF THE TIRES - VEHICLE PURCHASED AND LICENSED IN ARKANSAS BUT BEING DRIVEN BY SON IN NAVY STATIONED AT AFB IN OKLAHOMA CITY. VEHICLE PURCHASED IN LATE SPRING OF 2000 -- LOTS OF MILES (AVG. NEARLY 800 MILES PER WEEK) MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. WHEN SON BROUGHT HOME HAD TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY WITH TWO HANDS AT ALL TIMES TO ADEQUATELY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CALLED LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER TO INSPECT AND THEY REFUSED SINCE TIRES WERE NOT PART OF RECALL SO HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED. AM CURRENTLY STORING REPLACED TIRES IN GARAGE PENDING SOME SORT OF ADJUSTMENT / REPLACEMENT. FORD DEALER AGREED TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. (DOT NUMBER: 8XHL1PY389 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

THE VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION / SHIMMY THAT APPEARS TO BE COMMING FROM THE FRONT END AT ALL SPEEDS ON BOTH ROUGH AND RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROAD SURFACES. WHEN GOING OVER RELATIVELY SMALL ROUTINE BUMPS, SUCH AS JOINTS IN A ROADS SURFACE, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES. WHEN GOING OVER SLIGHTLY ROUGHER SURFACES SUCH AS A MAN-HOLE COVER THE FRONT WHEEL VIBRATION CONTINUES FOR 5-10 SECONDS AFTER, AND IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. NAVIGATING SOME OF THE LARGER POT HOLES/ROUGH ROADS IN THE AREA IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AS MAINTAINING CONTROL IS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERS FOR SERVICE ON 5 SEPERATE OCCASSIONS, THE FIRST THREE TIMES I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL OPERATIONS, THE LAST TWO TIMES, THEY TRIED ADJUSTING THE TIRE PRESSURE, AND SUSPENSION BUT HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

RIGHT FRONT TIRE SHOWED SIGNS OF SEPARATION WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY INSPECTOR OF TIRE DEALER, CONSUMER REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES PLUS SPARE WITH DIFFERENT BRAND (FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT P255-16-70). NLM

I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE. I HAVE CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND OTHER THAN A LIST OF FAQS I CAN GET NO ONE TO RESPOND. I LIVE IN GERMANY, THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HERE ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT TO THE US (SPEED WISE) AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS AFFECTS THE TIRES ON MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL AAFES GARAGE THAT THEY'RE OK, BUT THEY'D RECOMMEND CHANGING THEM ANYWAY! I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 45 HIGHWAY MILES EACH DAY TO AND FROM WORK AT SPEEDS SELDOM LESS THAN 90 MPH. ARE THESE TIRES SAFE, IS THERE ANY TYPE OF "PLAN" IN PLACE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS? MANY OF US ARE CONCERNED THAT THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES AND OURSELVES IS IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY. THIS IS THE EXACT CONCERN I HAVE EXPRESSED TO THE TIRE COMPANY, FOLLOWED BY TWO MORE REQUESTS THAT THEY EITHER ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS OR PUT US IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE WE ARE OVERSEAS SERVING OUR COUNTRY, WE'RE "OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND". PLEASE HELP.

HAD MY TIRES CHECKED AT FIRESTONE BUT DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE, DID NOT SEE THE TIRES MYSELF. I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY OWN NEW VEHICLE, SO I WENT TO A PLACE THAT MY SON KNOWS THE PEOPLE VERY WELL. GOODYEAR. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UP ON THE MOUNT, I INSPECTED THE TIRES MYSELF AND HAD NOTICE SOMETHING ON THE SIDEWALL FACING THE INSIDE TRUCK. IT WAS ON ALL THE TIRES SIDEWALL. AND OUTER WALL. LOOKS LIKE CRACKING AND PEELING. ALSO THE OUTER WALL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK IS TURNING A FUNNY COLOR. WHEN I ASKED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THEM, A GOOD FRIEND, THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELTS READY TO GIVE WAY. THE GENTLEMEN AT GOODYEAR, WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. THEY REPLACED MY TIRES OF COURSE I PAID FOR THEM. THEY TOOK THE TIME TO MARK THE RECIEPT OF THE PURCHASE WITH THE DAMAGE OF THE TIRES. I THEN WENT TO FIRESTONE AND SHOWED THEM, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS HEAT DAMAGE AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THEN TOOK THEM TO WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS TIRE DRESSING AND MOLD. SO I PRECEEDED TO GO TO THE CORPORATE STORE WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS RUBBERIZED PAINT. MY TIRES WERE AND STILL ARE UNSAFE AND HAVE DEFAULTS. I BELIEVE THAT I AM ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE 5 TIRES. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO PUT FIRESTONE TIRES BACK ON MY TRUCK. I WOULD NOT HAVE FELT ANY BETTER.*AK( DOT NUMBER: 8XHL TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT BY YOUR WEBMASTER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH FIRESTONE WILDNERSS AT TIRES. IN AUGUST, PRIOR TO THE RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT, MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE TIRES ON MY CAR AFTER SEEING A ROLLED OVER EXPLORER IN FLORIDA. THIS WAS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING EXPLORE ENGINE CHECK LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE EXPLORER JUST STOPPED.. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE EXPLORER WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE WEEK FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THIS EXPLORER WILL TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I OWN A NEW FORD EXPLORER WITH THE "BRAND DESCRIPTION" OF THE CURRENTLY RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRE, ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT HAVE THE CODE ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE STATING THAT IT CAME SPECIFICALLY FROM THE DISTRIBUTION LOCATION CURRENTLY IN QUESTION. TWO WEEKS AGO MY RIGHT REAR TIRE CAME COMPLETELY APART. AFTER MUCH MISINFORMATION FROM FORD AND FIRESTONE, CHANNEL 4 NEWS TOOK THE STORY AND HELPED GET FORD TO PAY ATTENTION TO MY CASE. THEY AGREED TO PICK UP THE CAR AND REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES FOR ME. THE DAY AFTER THE STORY AIRED ON TV FORD (DON MCLEAN SPECIFICALLY) CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY HAD CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND WERE NO LONGER GOING TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THEY DID NOT COME FROM THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION. STILL THE TIRE SEPERATED FROM MY CAR AND ESSENTIALLY MAKING US AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST SOLELY WITH THE ILLINOIS PLANT. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS AND FORD AND FIRESTONE HAVE GONE BACK ON THEIR WORD LEAVING ONCE AGAIN TO DRIVE A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE WITH THAT BRAND TIRE, WITH THE "CODE" OR NOT, SHOULD NOT DRIVE THEIR CAR. SINCERELY, TAMMY HALADWALA. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P23575R15S )

VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES, CONSUMER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES PRIOR TO RECIEVING NOTICE, UPON RECIEVING CONSUMER CHECKED SERIAL # AND DISCOVERED THAT HIS TIRE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 00T-005, CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT.

ONE OF THE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE SWERVED OFF THE ROAD ALMOST HITTING A TREE, TIRE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (00T-005). *MJS

ALL THREE TIRES, AT 26 PSI, DISMOUNTED IN A SIDE COLLISION, CAUSING THE CAR TO ALMOST TIP OVER. SINCE THEN I HAVE RECEIVED A CARD FROM FORD SAYIMG I SHOULD KEEP THE TIRES AT 30 PSI, COLD PRESSURE. I COMTACTED FORD TO ASK WHICH WAS THE CORRECT COLD TIRE PRESSURE AND GOT AN ANSWER SAYING THAT A "RANGE" OF 26 TO 30 PSI IS CORRECT. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I WOULD LIKE THE DOOR SAFTETY PLACARD TO INDICATE A CORRECT PRESSURE. 26 POUNDS - OR 30 POUNDS - OR A "RANGE" OF 26 TO 30 PSI. I AM COMMUNICATING WITH FMC BY E-MAIL. SO FAR, THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE WILLING TO SUPPLY ME WAITH A CORRECT PLACARD. THESE TIRES ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. FORD HAS NOT ADMITTED THAT THE INSTANTANEOUS DISMNOUNTING FROM THE RIM OF THESE TIRES IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TIRE PRESSURE PLACARD ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I THINK THAT THERE IS A HUGE DIFERENCE BETWEEN A COLD 26 PSI AND A COLD 30 PSI INFLATION. I TOLD FORD THAT I WOULD BE WRITING YOU.( DOT NUMBER: ? TIRE SIZE: P23575R15 )
