“Goodyear wrangler tire failure. I have 235/17/70 tires on my f150. The sidewalls are peeling, revealing white... I have had two sidewall failures resulting in highway blowouts. The remaining two tires appear to be destined for the same fate. Additionally, the tread is showing premature wear. I will be replacing the tires with another brand.”
NHTSA complaint #10340158, filed 2010-06, 117,000 miles“Recall campaign number 05t022000; I have a 2004 F-150 with the continental contitrac tire on it original equipment. I have had to replace the tires after just 35000 miles of life. This is a 50000 mile tire. I feel this recall should be extended to the 2004 model year F-150 as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10182953, filed 2007-02, 35,000 miles“On friday, november 22, 2013 while driving to work on the freeway, I felt several thumps prior to the rear left tire on my F-150 blow. There was no load in the truck nor was I towing. I was able to safely get onto the shoulder. Aaa responded and attempted to change the tire. He was unable, as some of the tire tread was wrapped around the axle. We also observed the parking brake cable broken. A tow truck was then dispatched to move my F-150 to a garage. Damage noted to the truck was a snapped parking brake cable and a kinked hydraulic line. …”
