2003 Ford Expedition Tires Problems

“We had 2 tires blow out while driving our Ford Expedition on I-95 in fla almost flip twice the skin of the tires came off during driving at 65 MPH tires are continental SUV p265/70/r17 damage to the truck as well as lots of expenses for towing and repairs $700.00 dollars plus the towing company put the spare on also a continental 20 minutes later it also blew.”

“Driving on highway and tire tread came off and did $1,700.00 worth of damage to rear quarter panel and bumper. Continental tire agreed to pay damages but not replace tires. I have not received reimbursement for damages, I have been waiting over 30 days for the check which in the letter they sent stated I would receive it within 8-14 days. I feel they are giving me the run around.”

“On a number of occasions the ABS system has failed to perform as described by the manufacturer. Upon stopping when the ABS takes over my vehicle bucks and sends me bucking through intersections. According to the dealership where I purchased this is the way the ABS works. This vehicle also has very poor visibility, there are many large blind spots.”

“Driving along highway 50, outside sacramento at about 65mph in the early evening on 9/21/08 when I heard a loud popping sound and the back end of the truck began to swing out of control. I managed to remain in control and get to the edge of the freeway. When I looked at the tire, the tread from the back driver's side tire was totally gone, but the tire was still inflated. The tread had caused quite a bit of damage to my back panel and bumper assembly.”

“Right rear continental conitrac tire on 2003 Ford expedtion blew at highway speed(65-67mph). Highway condtions were normal. Ford dealer examined tire and could find no foregin object to cause sidewall blowout. They sent it to the manufacturer, who determined same thing. Ford/dealer reimbursed me for the new tire, but did not do anything about the other 3, which those tires concern me that they may blow at any time.”
