general problems of the 2010 Ford E-350

Truck starts violently shaking and hard to control after hitting bumps and have to come to almost a complete stop to make it stop.

Last July one of my michelin tires (bejhfbxx4909) (ltx ms, lt225/75r16) delaminated then blew out before I could stop, sending rubber all over the road. After changing to my spare I stopped at the first tire place I could find (kearney, ne) and purchased a replacement. While waiting at a restaurant for the tire to be changed the service manager came to the restaurant and told us another of the tires was delaminating and so we replaced that one also. They also checked for recalls and found one that ended for the tire run before mine for the same thing. On 1/29/2015, when I was heading to o'neill, ne, another of the same run of tires delaminated then also blew out, this time doing considerable damage to the wheel well and body work of my van and essentially loosing all rubber except for a 1 foot long segment of tread. This tire still had legal tread and the vehicle had 81,324 miles but the tires had been 5 tire rotated every 5,000 miles since I owned it (about 65,000 miles on "70,000" tires) at the Ford dealership. They always passed the tires as safe. Since 3 out of 5 tires from the same batch delaminated, I changed one remaining tire. I have now replaced 4 of the 5 tires with the 5th as a spare. These tires are dangerous and should be recalled. I have had two of them delaminate and blow out risking lose of control of my vehicle and a third was caught before it could blow up. Had I been going at freeway speeds I may not be writing this.

We were having trouble with the deadbolt on the motorhome off and on and had to use the chassis doors to exit and enter the vehicle. On this particular day we were heading for the beaches in yorktown. Once we arrived we tried to exit the coach and were unable to unlock the deadbolt and the regular lock, so we had to bring everything over the chassis seats to exit the vehicle.
