It turned out that the brakes were faulty, no emergency brakes, no stablizer, heavily rusty links, and etc. The tow truck had to tow us twice. After ariving in new york, a dealer, told me that the vehicle was never serviced. They explained in detialed in wrting. We could have been killed. I was on vaction with my twin boys and wife. I very angried with the laurel-ford dealership in ms and its owners. The tires seem dry rotted and corrosion was very visiable under the suv. Since then, i spent over $5000 getting this navigator fixed and got very little satisfactin from the owner and his dealership.

After the second tire rotation at 15,000 miles, the front tires began showing very abnormal wear patterns.i contacted the tire manufacturer and they notified me they are having a very high incidence of similar complaints from virtually all navigator 4x4 vehicles.the dealer is telling me it is the alignment and that i should rotate the tires every 5,000 miles - or about half the interval the manual calls for.i have checked the alignment and that was not the problem.i feel there is a defect with the front suspension of this vehicle.( dot number: )

2003 expedition shakes while traveling, with the shake/vibration increasing as speed increases, and becomes severe.have had to dealership 3 times now, but continues. In searching online, this is a common issue, and appears to be linked to the continental tires.between the shake in the vehicle and unknown what is occurring to tires as the vehicle travels and shakes, i would think there is a risk of damage to the tires that could result in injury to the occupants.ford seems to be shirking the issue, which seems strange to me based on the issues they experienced with tires and the explorer.
The stock tires provided with the 2008 ford escape models have defective valve stems.the cracked rubber can either cause a blow out or slow leak.on my escape, 3 out of 4 valve stems were defective and showing multiple cracks.this is on a "courtesy recall?".the dealership i had my vehicle serviced at recommended replacement.since the nhtsa has not proactively recalled these tires, knowing full well there were millions of defective valve stems sent from china, the only way i was informed there was a serious safety issue with my vehicle was by having another mechanical problem.please officially recall these before people start dying to blowouts.
While driving at highway speed, the front driver's side tire blew out. As a result,the front end was severely damaged.the dealership indicated that the tires were purchased new.they were manufactured in 1997 and dry rotted.

On october 15, a continental contitrac tire on our 2003 mazda tribute experienced a blow out at highway speeds on a busy over-pass. There was no indication of road hazards coming into contact with the tire. The tire was badly damaged on the blowout and while subsequently traveling on the rim while coming to a stop on the shoulder.the local manufacturer representative denied a warranty claim outright indicating that the damage to the tire was caused by riding on the rim, not a blowout. I am pursuing this matter with the manufacturer and the local magistrate. What concerns me more is that if continental has created artificial barriers to their representatives processing warranty claims, then serious manufacturing defects may go unknown. I believe that the failed tire was unquestionably defective.*la

On march 23, 2012, while towing my rv on i16, the tread on the left rear tire of my 2009 f350 peeled off. My factory installed tires were continental contitrac lt275/65r18. According to continental these tires were not a part of recall #11t002000 and yet, given the exact same failure, i wonder if my tires should have been included in the recall. The truck had very low mileage, the tread still had a depth of 11 and the bed load was only 2700 lbs(using cat weight measurements.) of the truck's 4000 lb capacity. The tire pressure, before leaving 2 hours earlier, was at the recommended 80 lbs.after talking to my ford dealer in austin, tx i learned that there wasnotification 11b24 concerning these tires. Had i been notified about this i would have taken action. To this end i had all 5 tires replaced before i again towed the rv. While i was able to regain control of the truck, i could not take the chance of tempting fate another time.as the truck left quarter panel was damaged i did start a claim for repair with continental. Based on any response from you i will also request pro-rated compensation for the replacement tires.i saved the failed tire and continental has requested that i send it to them. I will do this within the next week.

On march 23, 2012, while towing my rv on i16, the tread on the left rear tire of my 2009 f350 peeled off. My factory installed tires were continental contitrac lt275/65r18. According to continental these tires were not a part of recall #11t002000 and yet, given the exact same failure, i wonder if my tires should have been included in the recall. The truck had very low mileage, the tread still had a depth of 11 and the bed load was only 2700 lbs(using cat weight measurements.) of the truck's 4000 lb capacity. The tire pressure, before leaving 2 hours earlier, was at the recommended 80 lbs.after talking to my ford dealer in austin, tx i learned that there wasnotification 11b24 concerning these tires. Had i been notified about this i would have taken action. To this end i had all 5 tires replaced before i again towed the rv. While i was able to regain control of the truck, i could not take the chance of tempting fate another time.as the truck left quarter panel was damaged i did start a claim for repair with continental. Based on any response from you i will also request pro-rated compensation for the replacement tires.i saved the failed tire and continental has requested that i send it to them. I will do this within the next week.

I purchased a 2000 lincoln navigator from laurel-ford dealer in mississippi on august 21, 2003. After asking the dealership if all necessary maintenances were done on vehicle my family and i left for new york. I still had the original mfr warranties and i purchased an extended warranty plan. While traveling on the interstate on august 25th the brake lights came on and suddenly the left rear tire exploded. My family and i feared for our lives. It turned out that the brakes were faulty, no emergency brakes, no stablizer, heavily rusty links, and etc. The tow truck had to tow us twice. After ariving in new york, a dealer, told me that the vehicle was never serviced. They explained in detialed in wrting. We could have been killed. I was on vaction with my twin boys and wife. I very angried with the laurel-ford dealership in ms and its owners. The tires seem dry rotted and corrosion was very visiable under the suv. Since then, i spent over $5000 getting this navigator fixed and got very little satisfactin from the owner and his dealership.

2006 mazda tribute with continental contitrac tires, only 17,000 miles on vehicle, all 4 tires are separating between treads. One tire had 2 separate fractures on tire in different places causing tire to go flat. I did research on these tires, there are numerous problems with sidewall blowouts and fractures between treads. This has cause thousands of dollars in body damage and consumers having to replace these tires at their own expense. Continental needs to own up to their defective product and recall and replace all the tires at no expense to the consumer.
Within the last 2 weeks i have had tread separation on 2 of my truck tires. I was able to discover the problem before a complete failure due to abnormal vibration and subsequent inspection. These were continental contitrac lt275 65r18 tires on my ford f250. Dot p5b9 1vub with no apparent manufacture date code. The first failure occurred at 24554 miles and the second at 26000 miles. The tires were carefully maintained, the vehicle stored indoors and never off road. The dealership replaced the first with a replacement dot a3b9 479b 4710. I will now fight with ford to replace the other defective tire and the 2 that have not yet failed. After reviewing the internet it is apparent that there have been a lot of problems with this brand of tire. I felt compelled to report my experience because it is clear to me that this is a defective batch and if it has not happened already, somebody is going to get killed or injured. Please investigate.
Tire tread separated.
On the left rear, the tread seperated from the tire while driving on the interstate at 65-70 mph.a loud pop was heard when the tread seperated followed by loud noises as the tread came off the tire and hit the fender well.i took the seperated tire to the local ford dealer and they recommended that i put all new tires on my car.the left front tire also had a crack in it along the tread and sidewall of the tire.the ford representative said that it look like the left front was about to also seperate.the seperated tread also caused the center cap of the wheel to come off.this was a very terrifying experience and i am lucky that i was able to get the car stoped without causing a wreck.the car swerved when it first occured and we were lucky that there was not another beside us.( dot number: ad70 449 tire size: p245/75r16 )

The stock tires provided with the 2008 ford escape models have defective valve stems.the cracked rubber can either cause a blow out or slow leak.on my escape, 3 out of 4 valve stems were defective and showing multiple cracks.this is on a "courtesy recall?".the dealership i had my vehicle serviced at recommended replacement.since the nhtsa has not proactively recalled these tires, knowing full well there were millions of defective valve stems sent from china, the only way i was informed there was a serious safety issue with my vehicle was by having another mechanical problem.please officially recall these before people start dying to blowouts.
Tire deflated due to a cracked valve stem. A second deflationthree days later on another of the tires. That also had a cracked valve stem.
