THE STEERING ARM ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL BROKE AT THE WHEEL CONNECTION WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT APPROX. 5MPH. UNABLE TO STEER. LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED.WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I'M ONLY GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING 65 ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CURVE AT THE TIME.

THERE CURRENTLY IS A RECALL FOR FORD RANGERS UP THROUGH 1993'S. MINE IS A 1994 AND HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATES THE ELECTRICAL IGNITION SYSTEM WAS MOUNTED INCORRECTLY NEAR THE ENGINE AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. MY RANGER HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT FORD TO INCLUDE THE 1994 RANGER IN THIS RECALL.*AK

THROTTLE IS STICKING TO FLOOR, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT , DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX VEHICLE, BUT DEFECT HAS REOCCURRED. CONSUMER WILL CONTACT DEALER AGAIN.*AK

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT, APROXIMATELY 75 MPH. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A JERK, AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE HAD FLAT TIRES IN THE PAST, AND THIS WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FEEL. MY STEERING WAS ALMOST INOP, AND BREAKING WAS ALMOST NON EXISTANT. I ONLY THANK GOD FOR LOOKING DOWN ON ME AT THAT MOMENT. AFTER NEARLY CRASHING, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TWO LANES AND FINALLY COME TO A STOP. WHEN I INSPECTED THE TIRE, I HAD FOUND IT COMPLETELY SEPERATED IN ONE WHOLE PIECE. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRE, I HAD TO LITERALLY UNRAP THE WHOLE TREAD THAT HAD RAPPED AROUND MY TIE ROD END, AND KICK THE OTHER PORTION THAT WAS JAMMED IN BY BRAKE. I HAVE WORKED ON AIRPLANES I N THE USAF FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS AND NEVER ONCE EXPERIENCED A TIRE THAT BADLY MUTILATED. IT APPEARED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF HOW CAN I MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION? I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS IN AVIATION, AND I SEE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE A BACHELORS IN PROFESSIONAL AERONAUTICS, WITH A MINOR IN AVIATION SAFETY. I THINK YOU GUYS ARE MAKING A SERIOUS MISTAKE BY ONLY RECALLING ATX P35/75 R15S. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH MORE ATX TIRES. THE QUESTION IS, HOW MANY LIVES WILL IT TAKE BEFORE MORE TIRE SIZES ARE RECALLED. REMINDS ME OF THE "BLOOD PRIORITY". I WILL BE TAKING PICTURES TOMORROW OF THE DAMAGED TIRE AND THE WHOLE TREAD THAT WAS SEPERATED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE PICTURES, I WILL GLADLY SEND THEM. I A

THE FRONT FIRESTONE TIRES (P235/75R15) WERE SHOWING METAL WIRES. NLM

THE FIRESTONE ATX P235/75R15 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEPARATION AND WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO RECALL (00T-005), CONSUMER IS BEING DENIED REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *MJS

WHEN APPLING EMERGENCY BRAKE IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE HAS CAUGHT, BUT IT DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. WHEN APPLIED ON AN INCLINE IT CAUSED VEHICLE TO ROLL DOWN HILL INTO A HOUSE. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THIS VEHCILE WAS NOT INCLUDED. *AK

I WAS COMING FROM PORT AUTHOR TEXAS, AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 1 OR 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE CALIPER THAT WORKS THE BRAKE CAME OUT AND LOCKED THE WHEEL UP. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55MPH WHEN IT LOCKED UP, AND I DID NOT APPLY MY BRAKE FOR IT TO HAPPEN. I REALIZE MY TRUCK IS A 1994 MODEL, HOWEVER, THE ISSUE I'AM TRYING TO STRESS IS THIS; I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES, AND DRIVE IT VERY LITTLE. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE WEAR AND TEAR FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED! I FEEL IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT, AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, AND A REMIBURSMENT FOR THE REPAIR COST I HAVE ALREADY MADE. POINT TO MENTION: IF IT WAS NOT A DEFECT, THEN WHY DID THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CHANGE THE FRONT LEFT CALIPERS. *AK

PRECEEDING THAT NUMBER IN A COLUMN OF NUMBERS ARE: P1107AA2 FOLLOWED BY E-25931 (DOT NUMBER: CN72U479 TIRESIZE: P225/70R14)

NO SUMMARY

ONE TIRE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT REAR DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE SIDEWALL, GOING COMPLETELY AROUND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE IN THE SAME LINE AS THE TIRE SIZE. THIS TIRE ALSO HAS A CRACK BEGINNING TO FORM AT THE OUTER BASE OF THE TREAD. AFTER HAVING THE TIRES REMOVED I FOUND A HAIRLINE CRACK BEGINNING AT THE BASE OF THE TREAD ON THE INSIDE OF ANOTHER TIRE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE TIRE WAS LOCATED ON THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN REMOVED AND WEREN'T MARKED. THE OTHER TWO TIRES DOT VD 60 AW4 108 SHOW SIGNS THAT A CRACK MAY BE BEGINNING TO FORM ON THE OUTER SIDEWALL BUT SHOW NO OBVIOUS FAILURE AT THIS POINT. I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED IN CONCERN FOR SAFETY AND HAVE THEM IN STORAGE PENDING RECALL OR WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT. THE COMPLETE TIRE SIZE IS 31X10.50 LT R15. THE BOX WOULDN'T TAKE THIS MANY LETTERS IN THE QUESTIONAIRE. IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE TIRES, SINCE THEY ARE NOT UNDER RECALL, THEY NEED TO CONTACT ME PROMPTLY. I MUST RETURN THEM FOR ADJUSTMENT IF THEY ARE NOT RECALLED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VD60AW4288 TIRESIZE: 31X10.50LT)

AT 4:50 PM ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 200, I WAS DRIVING WEST BOUND ON THE 210, A HALF MILE BEFORE THE 2 INTERCHANGE IN THE PASADENA, CALIFORNIA AREA. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH IN THE SECOND LANE WHEN I BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON A WASH BOARD. MY BACK END BEGAN FISHTAILING BACK AND FORTH. I HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP MY TRUCK IN THE LANE I WAS IN AT THE TIME. I GLANCED INTO MY DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND SAW CHUNKS AND STRIPS OF TIRE FLYING AWAY FROM MY TRUCK .

I HAVE NOTICED THAT 14 INCH TIRES ARE NOT BEING RECALLED. ARE THERE SIGNIFICANT ENGINEERING DESIGN DIFFERENCES IN 14 INCH AND 15 INCH TIRES, OR HAVE THEY JUST BEEN OVERLOOKED SINCE THEY ARE NOT A VERY COMMON SIZE. I HAVE HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER THEM. I AM CURRENTLY NEEDING TO REPLACE MY SECOND SET OF WILDERNESS HT TIRES. BOTH SETS ONLY LASTED ABOUT 20,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED THEM THE SAME AS ANY OTHER TIRES I OWNED WHICH LASTED 60,000 MILES. THANKYOU. WILL BE MONITORING YOUR PRESS RELEASES.

ON 6/6/00, WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH 2 CARPOOL PASSENGERS THE LEFT REAR TIRE DISINTEGRATED AT 70 MPH IN 105 DEGREE HEAT. THE FIRST INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WAS AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT THUMPING FROM THE REAR. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THAT THE DRIVELINE BROKE AND WAS SMASHING THE PAVEMENT, BUT THEN, AFTER NO MORE THAN A SECOND, THE NOISE STOPPED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST WRENCHED FROM MY HANDS AS THE TRUCK LURCHED SEVERELY TO THE LEFT, HURTLING US TOWARDS THE BUSHES THAT ARE THE ONLY SEPARATION FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THAT STRETCH OF HWY 99 NEAR SELMA CA. THE WHEEL HAD ACTUALLY LOCKED UP FOR AN INSTANT AS THE FAILED TREAD WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE BEFORE RIPPING FREE. IN THE FRACTION OF A SECOND IT TOOK TO REALIZE I WAS NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS PROBABLY GOING TO CRASH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE TREAD PEELED OFF ALL THE WAY. INSTANTLY, THE NOISE AND VIOLENT MOTION STOPPED AND I WATCHED THE TIRE'S TREAD TUMBLE INTO THE MEDIAN THROUGH THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR. I NOTICED I HAD INSTINCTIVLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE, AND I WAS NOW CRUISING AT 60MPH WITH NO TROUBLE. I EASED INTO THE RIGHT LANE, SLOWING FURTHER, THING TO PULL OVER BUT THE TRUCK WAS HANDLING FINE. SEEING AN EXIT 1/4 MI. AHEAD, I HEADED FOR IT WITH FLASHERS AT ABOUT 50MPH. UPON STOPPING WE WERE AMAZED TO FIND THE LEFT REAR TIRE STRIPPED OF TREAD, BUT STILL FULLY INFLATED, (30 PSI ACCORDING TO MY GUAGE). THE SHREDDED TIRE IMPLODED MY REAR FENDER, LEFT BLACK GOUGES ABOVE A
