THIS TIRE WAS ROTATED FROM LEFT FRONT TO LEFT REAR TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO TREAD SEPARATION. WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (15-25 MPH) ON THE DAY OF INCIDENT WE COULD FEEL A WOBBLE IN THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT CONNECT IT TO ANY TIRE PROBLEMS. AFTER DRIVING 150 MILES OF A 600 MILE TRIP A LOUD POP WAS HEARD WE DETERMINED THAT THE TIRE HAD BLOWN. MY PREGNANT WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PULLED THE VEHILCLE OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER OF I-35 JUST SOUTH OF DALLAS. THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND DID DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL, AND FUEL FILLER NECK OF THE REAR TANK. I TOOK VIDEO TAPE (AVAILABLE TO YOU) OF THE INCIDENT. WE REPLACED THE BLOWN TIRE WITH THE SPARE, CONTINUED TO LITTLE ROCK, AR WHERE WE PURCHASED AN IDENTICAL TIRE AND REPLACE IT IN THE LEFT REAR POSITION. UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (USAA) PAID FOR A CLAIM THAT WE SUBMITTED.

STILL HAVE SPARE(USED ONCE) THAT IS SAME AS TIRE THAT BLEW. ALTHOUGH THIS TIRE IS PRESENTLY NOT RECALLED, WANTED TO REPORT SUCH SO THAT I MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE IF IT IS RECALLED LATER.

AT TIMES, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT TO 1ST,2ND, 3RD, OR 4TH GEARS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. THIS IS AN INTERMITENT PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE VERY QUICKLY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS HAD TO TAKE IT BACK FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SYNCHRONOUS MECHANISM WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY.

OIL PAN RUSTED OUT AND STARTED LEAKING. I CAUGHT IT BEFORE ALL OIL LOST ON ROAD AND AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM THROUGH A FRIEND THAT LOST ALL HIS OIL AND SEIZED ENGINE. THIS TRUCK IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS NEVER PLOWED SNOW. IT VIRTUALLY HAS NO OTHER RUST. OIL PANS SHOULD NOT RUST OUT. IF OIL IS LOST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
