1999 Ford F-150 Tires Problems

“Upon returning home from work on 9/15/14, a hitch wire was noticed dragging on the ground. When I crawled under the truck to tuck it back under, I noticed the spare tire was gone and the cable that once held it in place via a retaining bracket had snapped and was frayed. The tire and bracket holding the tire were both gone. I had no knowledge of the loss until that point and am horrified at the thought of the accident or injury it could have/ may have caused, breaking free somewhere on the road while driving.”

“Cable that holds spare tire up under the truck bed rusted at the bracket and spare tire fell out from under the truck, it was a good thing that truck was not going any faster as the spare could have bounced on the road and caused an accident.”

“My 1999 Ford f150 extended cab shakes when driving at speeds between 40-45 MPH and occassionally at speeds greater then 80 MPH. Front and rear alignment nor tire balance/rotation corrects problem. Another owner related this is due to a defect in the chassis due to design problems with extended cab. Is their a corrective action for this vibration?”

“The tire p25570s16 gn grabawo by general. Side wall bubbles and blows out if its on the rear of a pick up okay on front of truck, but many people I work with in the business have had the same problem with this tire. Please investigate. Thanks.”

“Dt: the contact states there is NHTSA recall campaign 05v388000 concerning the vehicle speed control:cruise control. The parts needed for recall repairs were not available at the local dealership. He spoke to the manufacturer, who confirmed the parts were not available at this time. Updated 12/27/2005. The tires had excessive wear at 20000 miles. The seat belt roller has been replaced three times. The air bag control was replaced. Both doors had stress fractures. The rear brake lines were not secured properly which resulted in wear . The wheel hubs came off while driving at highway speed. …”
