1998 Ford F-150 complaints

CONSUMER HAS A 1998 FORD F150 WITH THE ORIGINAL TIRES. BOTH FRONT TIRES HAD TREAD SEPARATION & WERE REPLACED WITH SAME BRANDS, TIRE SIZE P235/70R16. DOT# W2081PT326. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE 45,000. TIRES WERE REPLACED BEFORE RECALL WAS ANNOUCED.*AK

TREAD SEPERATION OCCURED , ALL 4 TIRES ON GROUND REPLACED WITH ONE OTHER NOTED AS READY TO GO BAD( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R16 )

PE00020; TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH, TREAD ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE CAME OFF. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO KEPT CONTROL OF A 1998, FORD, F150. THREE OTHER PASSENGER'S WERE IN THE VEHICLE. NO ONE WAS INJURED. TIRE WAS A WILDERNESS HT, P23570R16, ORIGINAL TIRE EQUIPMENT. TIRE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE TIRE WAS SHIPPED TO FIRESTONE. PLEASE PROVIDE DOT # IF POSSIBLE.*AK

DURING A RUTINE SERVICE ON MY F150 PICKUP IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE TIRE WAS SPLITING. I HAVE CONTACTED FIRESTONE FOR A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE AT FULL COST, THE NOTIFIED ME THAT I WILL INQUIRE THE COST AFTER BEING PRORATED. I FEEL THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO THE RECALLED TIRE'S AND I FEEL THAT THIS ALSO NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURIED OR KILLED. PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF THE RESULTES OF THE INQUIRE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOHN LAND( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235-70R16 )

PE-00-020; ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A FORD, F150, 1998, DOT NUMBER W208, AND TIRE SIZE P23570R16. TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS WITH TIRES. WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH SAME TYPE OF TIRE. CONSUMER NOTED ALL FOUR TIRES HAD DEVELOPED CRACKS AND STRESS ALONG SIDEWALL AREAS OF TIRES. TIRES HAVE 30 THOUSANDS MILES ON THEM. *AK FIRESTONE FINALLY REPLACED THE TIRES WITH A LESS EXPENSIVE BRAND. *YH

THE TREAD AREA OF THE TIRE WAS LIKE FOAMRUBBER.I TOLD THE MANAGER AT THE FIRESTONE STORE THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HE LAUGHED AND SAID I DID SOMETHING WRONG ,AND THEY WEREN,T HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I ASKED FOR A DISCOUNT HE SAID NO WAY. LIKE A FOOL I ENNT AND BOUGHT 2 MORE OF THE SAME TIRE. I E MAILED FIRESTONE AND TOLD THEM I THOUGHT THEY HAD DEFECTIVE TIRES , THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A FIRESTONE STORE , AND TALK TO A MANAGER. HELL I DID THAT, IT DIDN,T DO ME ANY GOOD, THEY KNEW THEY HAD A POOR PRODUCT AND JUST BLEW ME OUT THE DOOR.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P23570R16 )

MY TRUCK HAS A CRACK IN THE OUTSIDE BODY SHEET METAL NEAR THE CORNER OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW ON THE DOOR. DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS CRACK IS DUE TO MAUFACTURES DEFECT. I NEED HELP IN BEARING THE COST OF REPAIR. NHTSA ITEM # SB608461 / SERVICE BULLETIN # 99-6754

I HAVE NOTICED A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT DUE TO THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL (BOTH IN LATERAL DISTANCE AND IN HEIGHT) THAT IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR LEFT FOOT ENTIRELY OVER ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE STOPPING OR HOLDING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION THAT YOU CAN ALSO CATCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE. THIS RESULTS IN THE TRUCK TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE OPERATOR TRYING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER WITH THE RESULT BEING TO DEPRESS THE ACCLERATOR PEDAL FURTHER AS WELL. THIS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT REALIZING THAT YOUR FOOT IS PARTIALLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FAR ENOUGH) I HAVE CAUGHT THIS OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES AND IT CAN BE QUITE DISCONCERTING WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS MOVING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DEPRSSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER AND HARDER. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE A DESIGN RELATED ONE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE DESIGN OF THE CONTROLS. WHILE IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN INCIDENT WITH MY TRUCK YET IT CERTAINLY COULD ESPECIALLY IF A PERSON PANICS AND DOESN'T REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE COULD EXPLAIN SOME THE COMPLAINTS RECIEVED ABOUT THE TRUCKS ACCELERATING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR SNAPPED IN NASHVILLE, TN ON CROSSCOUNTRY TRIP FROM ARIZONA TO MARYLAND, STRANDING US 36 HOURS IN NASHVILLE. GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. CABLE FIXED, BUT IT MUST HAVE TAKEN OUT OUR ALARM SYSTEM AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKING MECHANISM. STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK UNLESS YOU YANK IT 900 TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. KOONS FORD IN ANNAPOLIS, MD, TOLD US THIS WAS "NORMAL" ON THE LOCKING PROBLEM, AND THAT FOUR OTHER VEHICLES ON THEIR LOT DO THE SAME THING. '!@#$%. WE NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON SEPT 1 FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE LOCKING MECHANISM AFTER MY DAUGHTER CALLED THEM THIS PAST WHEEL COMPLETELY UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN. FORD SERVICE IS AN OXYMORON. THERE IS NO SUCH THING. *TR

PE00020; TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH, SIDEWALL CAME OFF THE TIRE ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE, AND WAS NOT INJURED. TIRE WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A FORD, F150, 1998. TIRE WAS PRORATED AT 50% ON THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TIRE, AT A FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE LIST TIRE SIZE AND DOT # IF POSSIBLE.*AK FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT P235/70/R16 *MW

THE DOOR CRACK IS AT THE BASE OF THE LOWER WINDOW STRUCTURE. THE CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN SIZE FURTHER WEAKENING THE DOOR STRENGTH. IT IS UNKNOW IF THE DOOR WILL REMAIN INTACT DURING COLLISION. PERSONAL SURVEY RESULTS : 62 VEHICLES EXAMINED, 52 HAD CRACKS, 2 WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BY MANUFACTURER.

PASSENGER SIDE TORSION BAR FAILED AND SUSPENSION DROPPED. FORTUNATELY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. BROKE AT REAR MOUNTING AT TENSIONER POINT. FORD REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT REFUSED TO CHANGE DRIVER SIDE EVEN THOUGH IT EXHIBITS SIGNIFICANCT SURFACE CORROSION IN THE SAME AREA. FROM MY SEARCH OF NHTSA AND OTHER INTERNET DATA AND FROM FORD EMPLOYEE COMMENTS THIS APPEARS TO BE A REPEAT PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ELECTRONIC PHOTOS SHOWING PITTING AND CORROSION OF DRIVER SIDE TORSION BAR THAT FORD STATES IS ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE NOTED THAT NHTSA OPENED AN ACTION #PE98-009 ON THIS MATTER 13 FEB-98 AND CLOSED IT 30 JUNE-98. I'VE ALSO NOTED NUMEROUS COMPLAINT FILINGS FOR F150 TORSION BAR FAILURES WITH NHTSA AND OTHER INTERNET DATA BASES. THIS WOULD SEEM A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT AND FATALITIES IF BREAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BELEIVE THIS WARRANTS A NEW INVESTIGATION AND ISSUANCE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS TO FORD. THE FACT THAT COMPLAINT FILES INDICATE FREQUENT BACK ORDERS FOR PARTS MIGHT INDICATE FORD IS DOING A LOT OF REPLACEMENTS.

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE CHECK UP AND MECHANIC TOLD CONSUMER THAT THERE WERE BUBBLES IN TIRES, CONSUMER WAS VERY CONCERNED.*AK

PINHOLE LEAKS DEVELOPED ON TWO DRIVER SIDE TIRES FOR NO APPARANT REASON--MANUFACTURER WAS UNRESPONSIVE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

TIRES VIBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER A 25 MILE TRIP OR MORE . I HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NO TROUBLE WITH THE TRUCK . THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIRES I HAD THE TRUCK AT A FIRESTONE STORE AND ALL I GOT WAS A RUN AROUND.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P2357016 )

FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY SIZE TIRE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THE DEALER REPLACED A TIRE BEFORE THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS DEFECT IN THE SAME WAY AS THE RECALLED SIZE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE P235/70R-16 BECAUSE I SAW IT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT FURTHER INFORMATION. THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE P235/70R16 AND POSSIBLY OTHER SIZES( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/70R-16 )

A FRIEND WHO IS IN THE TIRE BUSINESS CALLED ME OUT TO LOOK AT MY TIRES ON THAT MORNING. HE SHOWED ME HOW THE TIRE WALL WAS SHREDDING AND THAT WAS NOT NORMAL AND URGED ME TO BRING MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP IMMEDIATELY, SO I DID. AT THAT TIME, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT COULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, EVEN THOUGH MY FRIEND INSISTED THAT TIRES SHOULD NOT TEAR LIKE THAT. HAVING VIEWED THE RECENT NEWS RELEASES ABOUT THIS HAPPENING, I DECIDED TO LOG MY COMPLAINT. THE SALESPERSON AT FIRESTONE TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR COULD NOT BE MADE, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE, WHICH I DID. SINCE THEN, I HAVE INCURRED ANOTHER FLAT TIRE. THIS TIME IT WAS A NAIL, HOWEVER WHEN THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DEFLATED, THERE WERE SOME THREADS THAT WERE PARTIALLY SHREDDED, HOWEVER I WAS ADVISED BY FIRESTONE THAT THE SHREDDING WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE TIRE FLAT AND WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE SOME SEPARATION. NOW I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, BUT CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P23570R16 )

I AM PROUD OWNER OF FORD 1998 F150 V8 XLT 2WD. I DO MOST MY TRUCK'S MAINTENANCE AT HOME. AS I WAS ROTATING MY TIRES LAST NIGHT, ONE OF FRONT LEFT-HAND SIDE WHEEL BOLT SNAPPED AS I WAS TURNING A NUT ON IT. THE LUG NUT WAS LOOSE AND IT WAS KEPT TURNING. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AT THE FACT THAT THE BOLT EASILY BROKE WHILE USING LITTLE FORCE BY HANDS. THIS IS MY SECOND FORD AND I NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. SO I DECIDED TO GO TO THE FORD WEBSITE AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK ON THE WHEEL NUTS. HOWEVER I DID NOT GET ANY INFORMATION UNTIL AFTER THE TIRE ROTATION. SO I CALLED THE PUENTE HILLS FORD DEALERSHIP IF I TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN REPAIR BROKEN WHEEL BOLT DUE TO ALREADY RECALLED NUT. AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BROKEN BOLT. THEY WILL CHARGE ME ABOUT $73.00 FOR THE REPAIR. BUT IF THEY CONTACTED ME FOR THE RECALL I WOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THE REASON WHY THE FORD COMPANY RECALLED THE LUG NUT IS THAT THE LUG NUTS CAME LOOSE FOR MY TRUCK AND THAT IS EXACTLY PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. AND THAT IS WHY I WAS TURNING THE NUT ON THE BOLT UNTIL THE POINT WHEN IT SNAPPED. I DROVE FORDS ALL MY LIFE AND I THINK THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO AVOID THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE HELP ME.*AK
