2001 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR: PASSENGER ATTEMPTED TO BUCKLE UP IN THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE SEAT BELT (SEAT BELT IN THIS POSITION IS RARELY USED) WAS UNUSABLE--UNLATCH BUTTON WAS STUCK IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION. NO CRASH OR INJURY WAS INVOLVED. A BUTTER KNIFE WAS USED TO RAISE THE LATCH TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT. ONCE THE RELEASE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED TO RELEASE THE BELT, IT REMAINS IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION. *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE/TIRE BALANCE/AND ROTATION. THE TEVH. ADVISED ME HE HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE. I ASKED WHY?. THE REASON WAS TREAD SEPARATION, OF WHICH THEY SHOWED ME. I WAS BESIDE MYSELF ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FIRESTONE RECALL AND DEATHS DUE TO FAULTY TIRES. I DEMANDED THE DEALER TO REPLACE ALL FIVE TIRES. NOW WITH NEW REPLACEMENT TIRES THE VEHICLE WOBBLES AND VIBRATES IN AN ENOURMOUS WAY. IM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATES ITS NOT FORDS PROBLEM. WHOS IS IT? I JUST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FOR ANOTHER TIRE BALANCE. ITS STILL THE SAME, ACTUALLY WORSE, IF YOU DRIVE OVER 50 MPH THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO SHAKE APART. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STEAK IF IN FACT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *AK (TIRESIZE: P275/60R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P275/60R17 )
