I was involved in a collision on US30 3 miles west of Rainer Oregon. where I struck another Ford truck while cruising at 55 mph. The vehicle I struck pulled in front of me, my vehicle was severely damaged in the front end and the steering wheel and lower dash panel injured me.,

The Belt in the tire separated while driving. This caused a "Bubble" to form causing my truck to shake violently and required changing to the spare tire. If this happened on the highway I could have lost control and caused an accident. I took my truck to a tire installer who documented the above finding and noted the tire was properly inflated and there were no impact marks on the tread or sidewalls. I am currently working with the supplier but they are being unreasonable with the requirements to have it inspected. No other reps have been contacted at this time. No ( its a 24 year old truck, I don't have any tire related warning lamps) LT235/85 R16

My fiancé & I were driving down a 35mph road & I told her my steering wheel was a little crooked & I don't remember hitting anything to knock out of alignment. We got to my friends house to move a car trailer for him up his steep driveway. I hooked up to the trailer pulled it out, moved it around to line up to back up driveway & making the last adjustment all of a sudden I was turning my steering wheel but the tires were not turning, jumped out to find the output shaft of the steering box was cracked in half diagonally & the steering arm was laying on the street. When I got under the truck & looked at the part that broke you could see it was fractured for a long time. There was only about an 1/8" on one side that was raw metal from just finally breaking. Thank God we are alive if it would have happened going fast probably would have killed someone.

The contact owns a 1999 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated for approximately 30 seconds. The contact would turn off and restart the vehicle and the vehicle would return to normal operation. The contact stated he took his vehicle to several independent mechanics and was informed that the camshaft sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that similar vehicles were included in NHTSA Campaign number 07V553000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 300,000.

I was driving on the interstate going highway speed of 65 mph and the accelerator was stuck open and I could not slow down. The engine stayed at a high rpm. I had to press with a lot of force to slow down and come to a stop with the engine still at high rpm and had trouble stopping. Luckily, where I live there's not much traffic, and I made it to a shop with this issue. Upon investigating, the accelerator cable became frayed where it enters the sheath and gets stuck there. The Ford dealer didn't have a replacement in stock or any nationwide. So I went to a junk yard to find one and found the same vehicle that had the same frayed accelerator cable. I located a newer, second vehicle with less mileage with same cable that matched without any fraying. In the meantime, I ordered a new accelerator cable through Ford, but it was backordered several months and tied up in shipping. With this happening on these two same vehicles, I thought I should report it. Thank you.
