| 2007 | TIRES | HEARD A HISSING NOISE WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING. NOTICED A VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED ON BACK TIRE (DRIVERS SIDE). WENT DIRECTLY TO TIRE COMPANY.. HAD TO STOP NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE WAY TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE BECAUSE THE CRACK WAS GETTING BIGGER. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TIRE COMPANY, THE VALVE SNAPPED AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE TIRE COMPANY EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND STATED THAT 2 OTHER VALVES WERE CRACKED. I HAD TO REPLACE 3 VALVE STEMS TODAY. *TR |
| 1999 | TIRES | TIRES: HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. I WENT TO THE NEAREST FIRESTONE DEALER. HE INSPECTED THE TIRE AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT REPAIRABLE, SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE. EVER SINCE THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED TERRIBLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REPORTED (3TIMES) TO DEALERSHIP SINCE APRIL. EACH REPORT IS DOCUMENTED. ALLEGEDLY FIXED EACH TIME. FINALLY ON 8/04/00 THE TIRE WAS DECLARED DEFECTIVE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS REPLACED.(I HAVE DOCUMENTATION/RECEIPTS ON ALL WORK). PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRUCK STILL VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALTHOUGH AT LOWER MPH THAN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. AIR CONDITIONING: FIRST REPORTED STRONG MOLDY ODOR BACK IN JAN 1999. WAS TOLD BY FORD SERVICE REP. THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE TRUCK'S HAVING BEEN IDLE IN THE HOT SUN/PARKING LOT PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD DISSIPATE IN TIME. IT DID NOT. I BROUGHT IT IN THREE TIMES SINCE THEN. EACH TIME I ASKED THAT THE CAUSE BE FIXED AND NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS. ON THE 4TH VISIT, I INVOLVED THE OWNER AND HIS DEALERSHIP HIRED AN OUTSIDE COMPANY TO REMOVE THE MOLD FROM THE SYSTEM. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE SO BUT DURING THE CLEANING PROCESS THEY ADDED A CHEMICAL/PERFUME THAT IS SO STRONG, ONE CANNOT TELL IF THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT OR NOT. I WAS TOLD (BY THE SERVICE REP) THE OWNER WAS SO OFFENDED BY THIS SMELL THAT HE HAD THE COMPANY COME BACK OUT & REDO THE TRUCK TO REMOVE THE ADDED CHEMICAL. THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AS IT SMELLS VERY STRONG EVEN TODAY (2 WEEKS LATER). MY CONCERN IS AS FOLLOWS; IF THEY REMOVED THE MOLD AND SMELL THEN WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO ADD A CHEMICAL/PERFUME? I BELIEVE THAT THEY ADDED THIS CHEMICAL TO MASK THE FACT THAT THE MOLD IS STILL PRESENT. I THINK THAT ALL THEY WERE ABLE TO DO WAS OVERPOWER THE STENCH OF MOLD BY ADDING THIS FRAGRANCE. I WANT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM FIXED, NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS. HAVING MOLD SPORES BLOWN INTO MY FACE IS A RISK TO MY HEALTH AND IS OF SERIOUS CONCERN TO ALL. MY TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. |
