NHTSA complaint #10029259, filed 2003-07, 69,000 miles“I have been driving aver 50 years, have had many blowout/flats and have never had a problem controlling a vehicle, yesterday had a front tire develop a small separation and at 45 MPH could not control my 2000 Ford f350 in one lane. Have had conversations with several people and it seem that sense I stopped repairing vehicles they have redesigned front end\steering systems and from what I found out it is no wonder that at 60 MPH+ anything happens to a front tire---- we may have a wreck. I can not help but feel these designs have LED to a lot of roll over's and bad accidents.”
