Tire failure lead to two near miss accidents. In the last failure, March 22, 2009 lead to several thousand dollars of property damage.

Vehicle wa shydroplaning; very badly at low and high speeds in the rain .
Tires have been seperating for some time now. Original tires have been discontinued and are on nationwide backorder. Contacted dealer reported to be ordered. Have been on order for 3 weeks now. My husband has found a different brand of tires to fit the vehicle but the dealer and Ford insist on the exact same brand and make of tires. The brand is no longer available. The ride quality on the vehicle is beyond horrible, but so far no accident has occured. Would like to be reimbursed for having to purchase my own tires for a vehicle with a warranty.
While driving at 35 mph driver felt vibration in the right rear of the vehicle. Recall 02t0120000.
Faulty tire complaint. All four tires were affected.
