1997 Ford F-150 complaints

MY TIRES INDICATE THE START OF A TIRE SEPARATION ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT AXLE. I CAN SEE THE STEEL IN THE TIRE THAT HAS APPROXIMATELY 70% TREAD LEFT. I KEEP MY TIRES CLOSE TO 40 LBS OF PRESSURE AS INDICATED ON THE TIRES. THE START OF THE SEPARTION IS AT THE EDGE OF THE TIRES. MY TIRES ARE THE SAME TIRES THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WITH 28,000 MILES, WHY SHOULD I SEE SIGNS OF SEPARTION? MY SIZE AND TYPE OF TIRE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HAVE YOU HAD ANY INCIDENTS WITH THIS TIRE:FIRESTONE - WILDERNESS HT - 235/70R16 (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: 235/70R16)

TECHNICIAN FOUND POWER WINDOWS WERE NOT WORKING DUE TO CRACKS ON BOTH DOORS, ALL THREE DOORS ARE RUSTING AT BOTTOMS, CONSUMER STATES IF THERE WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT, MOST LIKELY THE DOORS WOULD BREAK IN HALF. *SLC

WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT, I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR ON GRAND RIVER AVENUE IN EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN. FORTUNATELY SOME OTHER DRIVER SAW THAT THE TIRE WAS VERY FLAT AND TOOTED HIS HORN AND POINTED AT THE TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A GAS STATION AND PUT AIR IN IT. SO I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )

CRACK IN DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE NEAR WINDOW. *AK

AFTER VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED FOR A MANUFACTURER SERVICE PROGRAM ON INGITION,VEHICLE DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE, A HOLE IN ENGINE HEAD WAS DISCOVERED.

PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

THE LEFT REAR TIRE SHED A PIECE OF TREAD 12 INCHES LONG. THE REST OF THE TREAD APPEARS TO BE CLOSE TO SEPARATION WHERE THE TREAD JOINS THE SIDEWALL. THIS SEPARATION APPEARS ALMOST THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT I CAN E-MAIL AND THE TIRE IS STILL IN MY POSSESSION. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)

THE TREAD OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE MUFFLER AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE (FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT 235/70/16 DOT W208). NLM

UNDER WET CONDITIONS CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKED UP, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLIDE. ALSO, IT SEEMED THAT BRAKES WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RELEASE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND A LOCAL JIFFY LUBE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH BRAKE SYSTEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE SHEETMETAL APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES UP FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE WINDOW. THIS CRACK IS ON BOTH DOORS. IT APPEARS TO RESULT FROM THE BENDING OF THE DOOR WHEN THE WINDOW IS RAISED AND LOWERED. THE CRACK IS GETTING BIGGER WITH TIME, AND WILL CAUSE THE DOOR TO BREAK.*AK

BOTH FRONT DOORS ARE DEVELOPING CRACKS APPROXIMATELY 8-9 INCHES ABOVE HANDLE AREAS. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY. *AK BOTH RIGHT DOOR SHELL AND LEFT DOOR SHELL WERE REPAIRED. THE VINYL STRIPPING WAS OUT AND REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS SEEKING THE MANUFACTURER TO PAY REPAIR COST BECAUSE THE DOOR HAD DESIGN FLAW. *YH

I HAVE HAD THREE TREAD SEPARATIONS SINCE BUYING THIS TRUCK NEW. THE FIRST ON 02/98, THE SECOND 05/06/00 WHICH CAUSED $750 BODY DAMAGE AND THE THIRD ON 08/10/00 WHICH OCCURED DURING THE REPAIRS IN THE MEANTIME FROM THE SECOND ONE. CONTINENTAL TIRE PAID FOR THE SECOND TIRES DAMAGE BUT BALKED AT THE THIRD. I AM SUING THEM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT FOR $2200 FOR THE REPAIR OF THE TRUCK. WE GO TO ARBITRATION JUNE 14TH, 2001 IN BENSON AZ. THESE TIRES ARE A PIECE OF JUNK. I WOULD HAD A ROLLOVER IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ANY FASTER THAN I DID (55 MPH) AND HAD NOT BEEN ALERT TO THE SITUATION. TEMPERATURE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AS THE 2ND ON OCCURED LATE AT NIGHT AND THE 3RD WAS IN THE MORNING. I CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRIEF INVOVED IN THIS, AMERITECH TIRES SHOULD NEVER EVER BE SOLD ON ANY VEHICLE AND DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY IS FRUITLESS AS THEY INTENTIALLY DESTROYED THE TIRE AND EVIDENCE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PROOF THAT I CALLED TO CLAIM THE TIRE BACK FOUR TIMES. THEY CLAIM THE TIRE HAD A REPAIR IN IT WHICH CAUSED THE FLAT. THE TIRE NEVER LOST AIR AND IT WAS THE TREAD THAT FELL OFF, NOT A FLAT TIRE. BUT THEY DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE. WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH A DECENT MANUFACTURER. WE ARE DEALING WITH A COMPANY THAT MAKES TIRES THAT ARE "UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED". AND THEY KNOW IT. *AK (DOT NUMBER: P235-70-16 TIRESIZE: P235-70-16)

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 65, MM 95 APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, WHEN THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT HAD COME OFF SECTOR SHAFT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE UNTIL I CAME TO STOP ON MEDIAN. STEERING WHEEL SPUN FREELY IN EITHER DIRECTION. COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A FATAL WRECK IF THIS HAPPENED ON A CURVE OR OTHER VEHICLES CLOSE BY.*AK

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE ENDED UP IN A FIELD, THE STEERING WHEEL COULD BE TURNED LIKE A ROULET WHEEL. NLM

THE TRUCK HAS A STRESS FRACTURE IN THE STEEL NEXT TO THE WINDOWS. NLM

TIE ROD END ON LEFT FRONT BROKE, WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, DEALER NOTIFIED AND UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN THIS MATTER.*AK CONSUMER STATES AS HE WAS PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT, THE TIE ROD END CAME APART, NO PRIOR WARNING.*JB

I PURCHASED A USED 1997 F-150 (4.2L V-6) IN JULY OF 2000. JUST AFTER I HAD PURCHASED IT A BEARING IN THE MOTOR WENT OUT. THERE WAS 68,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE BUT FORD COVERED IT 100%. THEY INSTALLED A NEW LONG BLOCK ENGINE FREE OF CHARGE. THE NEW ENGINE HAD A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. I RECENTLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE #4 CYLINDER WAS BURNING RADIATOR FLUID. THE DEALERSHIP DISASSEMBLED THE MOTOR AND SAID THE ONLY CAUSE FOR THE WATER COULD BE PINHOLES IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. WHICH WAS CAUSED DURING THE CASTING PROCESS. NOW THE ENGINE IS 8 MONTHS OLD WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT. FORD WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE WORK. THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE FIRST ENGINE GOING OUT WAS A LEAKY WATER SEAL GASKET THAT WAS REPLACED. NOW ENGINE NUMBER TWO IS GOING BAD BECAUSE OF WATER. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 92,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT TOOK TWO ENGINES TO GET IT THERE. KNOWING THAT THE FIRST SCHEDULED SERVICE IS SET FOR 100,000 MILES. I THINK FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THIS SECOND ENGINE AND COVER THE COST. THIS WASNT CAUSED BY ANY ABUSE, IT WAS CAUSED FROM A FAULTY PART FROM THE FACTORY. THIS ENGINE WAS BAD FROM THE START. I JUST FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PAY THE 1,500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A FAULTY PART ON A BRAND NEW ENGINE. THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF, THEY JUST WON'T ADMIT IT.*AK

VEHICLE PASSED STATE INSPECTION 04/27/01. ON 05/20/01 WHILE DRIVING ON 2 LANE HWY AT 50MPH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED AT THE OUTER SIDEWALL CAUSING A "BLOW OUT" 1/3 OF TREAD BECAME DISLODGED FORCING US TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD WITH PROBABLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, NO-ONE IN THE VEHICLE OR SURROUNDING VEHICLES WERE INJURED. OF NOTE WE HAD OUR TWO CHILDREN AGES 2&3 IN THE VEHICLE WITH US. WE HAVE CONTACTED BOTH FORD MOTOR CO. AND FIRESTONE AND HAVE BEEN TREATED RATHER RUDELY AND INFORMED THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT UNDER RECALLAT THIS TIME. I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE FROM AUGUST 2000 THAT STATED THAT THE NHTSA CONSIDERED ANY WILDERNESS AT/HT WITH DOT #'S OFVD,HY,W2 WERE CONSIDERED UNSAFE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES AND IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WE SHOULD TAKE?*AK (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)

I DID NOT CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE DEFECTIVE PARTS DID, HOWEVER CAUSE ME TO HAVE THE ENGINE COMPLETLY OVERHAULED. THERE WAS A "CHEWED" UP ROD. I HAVE THE MANIFOLD GASKET AND THE BAD ROD IN MY POSSESSION AND WOULD BE GLAD TO SHOW ANY REPRESENTATIVE INTERESTED.*AK

WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, I LOST ALL STEERING IN MY VEHICLE. MY STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED TO SPIN FREELY AS I WAS DRIFTING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

THE BRAKES WORE OUT PREMATURELY AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTOR DISCS WERE ALREADY UNDER (LESS THAN) SPECIFICATION WHEN MANUFACTURED (IE. THE INCORRECT SPEC. WAS INSTALLED). ALSO, THE REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK. INDEPENDENTLY OR COMBINED, THESE CONDITIONS HAVE RESULTED IN POOR BRAKING RESULTING IN NUMEROUS RUNNING OF STOP SIGNS AND NEAR REAR END COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES OR COLLISIONS WITH CURBS, SIGNS, ETC.
