1999 Ford Ranger complaints

TIRE UNDERWENT COMPLETE SIDEWALL FALIURE, AND PARTIAL TREAD SEPERATION WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ENTIRE SIDEWALL OF TIRE SHREADED AND SEPERATED FROM TIRE, WHILE THERE WAS PARTIAL TREAD SEPERATION. OTHER THAN REPLACEMENT OF TIRE AND MINOR DAMAGE TO RIM, THERE WAS NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED AT WHICH THE TRUCK WAS PROCEEDING AT. AFTER CONTACTING A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP(MULLINAX FORD, NOW RENAMED MAROONE FORD OF MARGATE), I WAS INFORMED THAT WHILE THERE WAS A RECALL ON FIRESTONE WILDERNESS 15" TIRES, THE TYPE ON MY TRUCK, WILDERNESS HT'S, WERE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, AND EVEN THOUGH I HAD AN EQUIPMENT FALIURE, I WOULD NOT GET REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR MY VEHICLE, NOR BE COMPENSATED FOR THE TIRE I HAD TO REPLACE AT MY OWN EXPENSE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/70R15 )

ALL OF MY TIRES ARE SEPARATING AT THE TREAD JUST LIKE THE 15 INCH WILDERNESS AT TIRES. TWO OF WHICH ARE WORSE THAN THE OTHER TWO. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T LOOK AT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RECALLED, NOR WILL THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALERS. YOU CAN SEE THE SEPARATION (YOU CAN SEE WIRES HANGING OUT AT THE SEPARATION. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REPLACEMENT TIRES(GOOD YEAR) THE COMPETITORS BRAND BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR MY FAMILY.( DOT NUMBER: W270 TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

THE FIRESTONE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A BUBBLE BETWEEN THE BELTS. *MJS

I RECENTLY RECEIVED AN AUG 17 LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. RE. THE TIRE RECALL. THOUGH I DO NOT HAVE THE RECALLED TIRES I CONTACTED A LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE TIRES. 3 TIRES ARE SHOWING CRACKING AND BUBBLING AT THE TREAD JUNCTION WITH THE TIRE SHOULDER. IN ADDITION, ONE TIRE HAS UNDERLYING CORD MATERIAL ERUPTING FROM THE BUBBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED FIRESTONE FOR A PLANNED INSPECTION. SEEMS THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.( DOT NUMBER: W270 TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

NO SUMMARY( DOT NUMBER: W2KC TIRE SIZE: P20575R14 )

THE TIRE DESINTERGRATED. I TOOK IT TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER WHO REPLACED WITHOUT QUESTION OR CHARGE. THEY GAVE ME NO RECEIPT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE SPRING OF 1999 I BELIEVE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R15 )

THIS IS THE SECOND FIRESTONE TIRE TO FAIL ON MY TRUCK IN 9 MOS( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

WHILE TRAVELING NOTICED TIRE SEPARATION ON SIDEWALL OF TIRE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT P225/70/R15 *MW

HAD BOTH RIGHT TIRES,( FRONT AND REAR), BLOW WITHIN A TWO DAY PERIOD. FIRESTONE REP ADVISED NO ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND ADVISED SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AT LEAST 10,000 MILES MORE OFF THE TIRES. BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN I REPLACED THEM. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES FAILED PREMATURELY. THE HT'S HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED WITH THE AT'S AS OF YET?( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225 15 )

WHILE DRIVING 55MPH RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE AXLE AND BEARING ON THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE THE WHEELS BALANCED 3 TIMES AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED BUT THE TRUCK WAS STILL VIBRATING, CONSUMER BELIEVES THERE ARE ONE OR MORE TREAD SEPARATIONS IN THE TIRE, THIS HAS CAUSED POOR STEERING CONTROL. NLM

BEEN READING ABOUT THE TIRES, WE HAVE THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES IN SIZE P235/70R15 AND HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS OUT OF THEM JUST TODAY WE HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON A TIRE. THE RIGHT, FRONT. THIS MAKES THE 4TH TIRE THAT BLEW OUT THIS SUMMER! ALL TIRES THAT BLEW, ARE BLOWING FROM THE SIDE WALLSI THINK FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS YOU BETTER RETHINK THE I THINK FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS YOU BETTER RETHINK( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES ARE SHOWING CORD ON SIDE OF TIRE.APPEARS TO BE PEELING RIGHT OFF OF THE CASING NOTIFIED FIRESTONE DEALER THEY SAID I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16'' )

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH INTO 4WD WHEN DEALER NOTIFIED I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO BE IN NEUTRAL TO SWITCH INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER THREE ADDITIONAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SWITCH MOTOR WAS FINALLY REPLACED. DEALER DID NOT WANT TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A DIRECT FRONTAL COLLISION. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN MINOR INJURIES. MANUFACTURER WILL BE NOTIFIED.*AK

MAIL ROUTE INCLUDES SAND, CLAY, & SURFACED ROADS. I FIRST HEARD A STRANGE RUBBING SOUND WHILE ON PRIVATE SAND ROAD. I GOT OUT AND OBSERVED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I HAD NO SAFE PLACE TO CHANGE THE TIRE SO I SLOWLY DROVE THE 1 MILE BACK TO THE SURFACED ROAD. AS I DROVE DOWN THE SURFACED ROAD, I NOTICED A LOT OF VIBRATION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO CHANGE THE TIRE, AS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A LOAD "POP" AND THE TIRE WAS FLAT! THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT MIKE SHAD FORD LET ME SEE THE TIRE AS THEY TOOK IT FROM THE RIM. THERE WAS A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF RUBBER POWDER, THE STEEL BELTS WERE SHREDDED AND RUSTY. IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE TIRE HAD COME APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MYSELF, THE TECHNITION, SERVICE ADVISOR COULD NOT BELIEVE THE TIRE HAD ONLY 6700 MILES ON IT. BUT IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE DEALER TIRE MANAGER DETERMINED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WEAR ON THE TREAD THAT I HAD TO BUY A NEW REPLACEMENT. WHEN I COMPLAINED THAT THE TIRE HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE HE DISSAGREED. NOT DEFECTIVE, ABUSED! HE AUTHORISED A $15. ADJUSTMENT AND A FREE ALL WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS NEARLY A YEAR LATER BUT ON THE SAME WHEEL AND SAME SURFACED ROAD. AT 55MPH I FELT SOMETHING SLIP OR GO LOOSE IN THE REAR END, FOLLOWED BY SEVERE VIBRATION. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATLY, STOPPED, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED AT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I FOUND SIMULAR DAMAGE AS THE FIRST TIME, A LARGE BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL, SMALLER

I WAS TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE I 10 ABOUT 75 MILES OUT OF TUCSON

I NEED TO REPORT A BLOW OUT/DELAMINATION OF A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT TIRE ON A FORD RANGER TRUCK. BRIEF SUMMARY: A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT TIRE BLEW OUT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO ON MY FORD RANGER. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED. THE BLOW OUT WAS CENTERED ON THE ENTIRE OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE. THE REMNANTS OF THE TIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE THUS MAKING IT HARD FOR MY WIFE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP IN A CONTROLLED FASHION. I REPORTED (7:45AM CST; 7/20/00; 1-800-392-3673; AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED DAVID) THE INCIDENT TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. HE WAS APPRAISED OF THE INCIDENT AND INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL. HE GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING NUMBER TO CALL FIRESTONE (1-800-847-3272). I CALLED BETWEEN 8-10AM ON 7/20/00. I SPOKE WITH A RUDE AND COMBATIVE PERSON NAMED "ROCK". HE SAID IT WAS PREPOSTEROUS THAT THE TIRES CAUSED ANY PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT MY WIFE WAS AWED BY THE STATE TROOPER THAT STOPPED TO HELP HER. [ THE STATE TROOPER INFORMED HER OF SEVERAL DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN TEXAS (PERHAPS BELL COUNTY) INVOLVING BLOW OUTS OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. HE SUGGESTED WE CHECK INTO THE MATTER.] ROCK TOLD ME HE WANTED THE TROOPERS NAME AND WANTED TO GET THE FIRESTONE LEGAL TEAM INVOLVED. IT INSULTS ME THAT HE WOULD MAKE DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT MY WIFE COMPETENCIES. HE NEVER INQUIRED ABOUT ANYONE'S HEALTH NOR TOOK DOWN ANY SPECIFICS (OR VAGARIES) OF THE BLOW OUT. I HAVE LITTLE FAITH IN FIRESTONE'S SINCERITY IN THIS MATTER. SINCEREL

TIRE SHREDDED WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/75R15 )

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN ON HWY 20, THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH A BOULDER IN THE SIDE OF THE HILL. HITTING THE BOULDER DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS, PUT THE TRUCK UP ON IT'S TWO LEFT TIRES AND SENT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO FIND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE/RIM/BRAKE ASSEMBLY RESTING AGAINST THE CURB APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET BEHIND THE VEHICLE.

THE FORD RANGER I PURCHASED SKIDS WHEN IT CROSSES OVER A MANHOLE. I'VE ALMOST LOST CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR A LIGHT TRUCK AND THAT AFTER THE SUSPENSION BREAKS-IN IT WILL NO LONGER BEHAVE THIS WAY. ITS ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THERE ARE NO CHANGES. IT FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME.

BLISTERS HAVE APPEARED BETWEEN THE TREAD AND TIRE. THIS SHOWED THE STEEL BELTS. I AM GREATLY CONCRNED THAT MY TIRES COULD HAVE SEPERATED WHILE DRIVING. COULD YOUR OFFICE PLEASE FORCE FIRESTONE TO PUBLICLY ANOUNCE THE PROBLEM. I KNOW FROM DOING A INTENCE REVIEW OF THE NEWS THAT FIRESTONE HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT STILL REFUSES TO SAY SO IN USA. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO THE PUBLIC AND MUST HAVE IMEDIATE ACTION TO SAVE LIVES. PLEASE HELP IN ADVISING THE PUBLIC OF THE DANGER. *K( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 )

WHILE DRIVING ON PAVED ROAD AT 45 MPH SIDEWALL BLEW OUT ON RIGHT FRONT TIRE. VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND INTO THE BAR DITCH ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ABILITY TO STEAR AND BRAKE THE VEHICLE WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. UPON TAKING THE TIRE TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $50.00 TO PRORATE THE TIRE AND HAVE IT REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FACTORY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.( DOT NUMBER: )

MY TIRES HAVEN'T FAILED YET, BUT I WANTED TO ADVISE YOU OF MY UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR, WHICH MAY HELP YOU IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. THE DOOR PANEL CALLS FOR THE TIRES TO BE INFLATED AT 30 PSI, HOWEVER, I GOT THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER WITH THE TIRES AT 35 PSI, THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED PRESSURE ON THE TIRE'S SIDEWALL. I CHECK THE PRESSURE EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEY HAVE NEVER LOST PRESSURE, SO I HAVE NEVER ADDED AIR. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT MY TIRES INFLATED NEAR THE "MAXIMUM" LEVEL BECAUSE I ENJOY THE IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY AND A LITTLE ROAD FEEL. ANYWAY, ON THE REAR (DRIVE) TIRES THERE IS MUCH MORE WEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD, AS IF THE TIRES WERE OVER-INFLATED. I HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO NOTICE AN INTERMITTENT WAFFLING OF THE TIRES ON SMOOTH SURFACES, WHICH FELT ALMOST AS IF I HAD A FLAT. I WONDER WHETHER THIS UNEVEN WEAR, WITH THE TWO EDGES HAVING MORE TREAD THAN THE CENTER, CAN CAUSE THIS "WAFFLING" EFFECT, WHICH, IN TURN, CAN CAUSE THE TREAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE? JUST TRYING TO HELP. THANKS. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P22570R15 )

THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I HAD PAID $2,600 DOWN AND TRADED A 96 NISSAN MY INS. ONLY PAID PARTIAL AND I WAS LEFT A FOOT; THE TREAD WAS OFF JUST AS THE RECENT NEWS REPORT STATED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 )

HAVING HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT THE SAFETY OF AIRBAGS I WAS VERY SURPRISED NOT TO HAVE EITHER OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY TRUCK DEPLOY WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON 6/21/00.

BOTH AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A HALT ON ALL THREE TIRES I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO FIND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE/RIM/BRAKE ASSEMBLY APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET BEHIND THE VEHICLE.
