Purchased a 2001 ford expedition from maroone ford in margate on 11/05/2004. The tires that came with this vehicle were the contitrac aw id # 02t012000.on 04/02/05 while traveling on i-95 at the speed of 55 mphmy left rear tire blew out.i was able to get the truck under control without hitting any other cars and i was not injured. I had that tired replaced the same day and thought it must have been something on i-95that caused the tire to blow out. On 05/21/05 while traveling east on commercial blvd in fort lauderdale florida at a spead of 30 mhp the right rear tire blew out, i drove the truck into tire kingdom and had that tire replaced as well.this morning while parking at worki noticed thread separation lumps had developed on the two remaining tires, at this point i realized something had to be wrong with the tires, and through the internet i found out there was a recall on these tires.i contated the dealership who sold me the truck inmediately and was told they could not do anything to correct the problemp because to their knowledge there is no recall in effect for these tires and that the manufacturer would have to be the one to replace them, but that if i could not wait to then take the truck to the nearest tire kingdom to have the tires replaced and that they would pro rate the cost of the tires.i had both tires replaced this afternoon, again at my own expense. In the past two months i have replaced all four tires on this vehicle, and the dealership has not been of any assitance, they sold me a tire warranty product that does not cover these type of incidents,the product was misrepresented to me and i intend to file a separate complaint with the fla insurance commissioners office regarding that matter. I contacted a naca representative today and was advised to contact ford and to contact your office and file a complaint any assistance you can provide in obtaining reimbursement for the cost of these tires is greatly appreciated.
2004 ford f150 has tire nibble between 50 and 57 mph and vibration at 45 mph. Several trips to the ford dealership did not fix the problem. They replaced 3 rims and 3 tires (contrack). Still did not fix the problem. I placed the spare tire on passenger front due to a flat and it reduced the nibble and vibration by half. I purchased 4 new 20 inch cooper tires and 4 new rims and vibration is 95% gone and slight nibble after 10,000 miles. I will have tires rebalanced and alignment checked and plan the have rear lowered by 2 inches. A friend had the rear lowered by 2 inches on his 2004f150 and helped with stability and vibration.
Have 2007 ford 500 had a flat tire on rt. Rear.took car to dealer to fix. They said it was caused by a cracked wheel. Possibly hitting bump in road.it has 18444 miles rarely driven and has never hita bump very hard or at all.bumper to bumper will not cover the cost, and we believe this is a faulty wheel from factory. Please help.
On 3 separate occasions in past 2 years i have experienced tire blow outs on a total of 4 tires on my 2003 bmw 330xi.all were caused by driving on highways at highway speeds and striking either a pothole or a raised manhole cover.most recent occurrence also cracked the alloy wheel which had to be replaced.bmw says this is to be expected and the "wheels are not designed for hitting potholes".since when are cars only designed for operating under perfect conditions?total repair expense has been nearly $2000.this results from what i believe is a design flaw whereby very low aspect ratio tires are standard on car and do not offer sufficient impact resistance leading to explosive failure of tire and wheel assemblies.this is a significant safety flaw and should result in a recall and consumer reimbursement.owners cannot voluntarily simply fit different safer tires offering more protection as the cars transmission, traction control, and abs would be adversely affected, per bmw.
While driving at 40 mph right front tire blew out, causing, the driver to pull of the road. The dealership has been notified.
Consumer stated thatafter taking a trip vehicle vibrated at high speed.it was discovered that all four tireshad cracks.these tires were placed on the vehicle after the firestone recall.the dealer stated that they could not replace the tires.
1. On july 8th 2009 while returning home from texas at the posted speed we experienced a vibration. I checked the instrument panel for any problems such as the low tire indicator light. Seconds after the right side rear tire exploded and pulled the truck violently to the right as i fought to control the truck and bring it to a stop. The tread had separated from the tire and caused extensive damage to right quarter panel as well as the exhaust. We returned the truck to the dealer and they repaired the damage and replaced the continental tire. I expressed my concern of the remaining tires and they told me that it was an isolated incident and shouldn't have any more problems. The truck and original equipment tires only had 12k miles. 2. On 2/12/10 while driving to cal. Again @ posted speed and no low tire indicator light on. The same conditions as above only towing a fifth wheel trailer. We experienced a vibration and with in seconds the left rear tire exploded and again the tread separated from the tire and caused extensive damage to the left quarter panel. We were very fortunate to bring the rig to a stop with out rolling or causing injury or fatality. Again i returned the truck to the dealer on 2/14/10 and their it sits to this day 3/17/10 and nothing but excuses.
Catastrophic failure and tread separation. Belts were rusty upon inspection (immediately following failure). Remaining wirecoat showed rust remnants impregnating rubber where the wire previously was. Tire showed no signs of imminent failure prior to incident.
My tires were subject to a voluntary recall and when taken to the dealer were found to be defective. I was informed by the dealer that it would be weeks before replacement continental tires would be available so i purchase good year tires. I submitted all the required paper work for a refund and the bill of sale shows the new tires were purchased 10/4/02. I received a reply form letter from continental with a box checked that states; "the purchase date of the receipt you supplied does not qualify. The only previously purchased tires eligible for reimbursement are those tire(s) purchased between august 19, 2001 and october 10, 2002 as stated in your notification letter." i do not understand why they cannot see with their own eyes the receipt i supplied has a purchase date of 10/4/02 and does qualify.

1. Ford firestone tire recall: 12/2/02 all tires replaced as per recall requirements.mileage: 15750.2. Friday, 4/21/2006: during a road trip this past weekend, my right front tire shredded.i heard thudding noises, pulled off the i-75, checked around my 2001 ford expedition, was unable to see anything wrong. However a few miles later, i realized something was seriously wrong and pulled off of the freeway.i called 911 sometime between 3 and 3:15 pm 4/21/06 for roadside assistance. Tim the towman towed my vehicle off the freeway to a nearby gas station. There he observed that the right front tire had shredded. The shredding process caused damage as follows:a) right front bumper now dangles because screws sheared off apparently;b) tire casing needs to be resecured, since it was flapping. C) there may be additional damage to the undercarriage as well as cables. Est. Mileage: 47600.3. Tim the towman replaced the shredded tire with my full-size spare. He used twine to temporarily support the rf bumper. He temporarily secured the tire casing. The following monday, i called ford customer no-service. They said that a local dealership would need to corroborate my story before they could determine whether ford was liable to replace the shredded tire (and possibly replace all of the others, as well), and to pay for the repairs needed on the front bumper and casing.the tallahassee ford dealership has a poor reputation, so i was permitted to take my expedition to the lincoln-mercury dealership. After hearing my story and examining my vehicle, the service manager said that ford offered no warranty on the replacement tires.even if they had replaced defective tires with defective tires, they did not stand behind their product.he offered to give me a discount on michelin tires (four) to replace the continental tires. He said there was little tread left on the remaining tires.these tires have slightly over 30,000 miles on them.

Last night while driving on the freeway, the treads on our tire came completely off.this caused our vehicle to swerve badly into the lane next to us.fortunately there were no cars in that lane at the time.this could of been a serious accident if a vehicle was in that lane at the time. So we pulled over and called for assistance.
While traveling south on i-95 at approx 65 mph, the passenger right rear tire failed. It appears that the failure mode was tread separation/detachment. The tread ended up wrapped around the rear axle. At the moment of the failure the 2000 ford expedition torqued hard to the right, but control was maintained. Further information on this incident is that the failed tire was a replacement for a recall (nhtsa campaign id number: 02t012000) by continental tire co. And replaced by a ford dealership. The failure of the replacement tire fits the exact description as stated in the nhtsa investigation report.
