Tire Blowout Problems of Ford F-150 - part 1

Bf goodrich bf15l3110317 tire blew out while driving to work. On the way to work on 11/05/18 while driving on the highway I suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the passenger rear tire and immediately pulled over to the guard rail on the highway. Lucky for me, no other car was beside me when I had to pull over so quickly before causing damage to my truck or anyone else. I took the tire back to where I purchased it and asked if there have been any recalls on that set of tires purchased in 2017. The sales representative stated nothing listed, but strangely the tire has been discontinued for sales. Called the manufacturer and gave them all the information about the incident and awaiting car care center to contact them with all the details. Hopefully this is not a trend where other consumers are at risk.

Tire blowout brand: hankook model: dynapro as made: korea dot: t79c pjnh 4008 I have had multiple problems with these tires, while driving home my front tire blew out on my 2009 Ford f150 truck causing me to hit the side median which then caused my trailer tire to blow out and bent my trailer tires rim as well. When this incident occurred my truck only had a little over 3000 miles on it. I took it to my Ford dealer and they argued that some one cut it. When I took it to another tire shop before they even looked at it they said that the rim on the tire had caused the cut. And it indeed was Fords fault. I replaced the tire and bought a new one from discount tire. Same brand same model so it would match. Today on Jan 14 2010 I took my truck in for an oil change and tire rotation, when they rotated my tires the new tire I bought had a massive ball on the inside of it. The new tire only had 3000 miles of wear. These tires are the stock tires that Ford has been using on their F-150 series since 2007 and probably longer. I had a set of these tires on my 2007 F-150 and at 9000 miles they started forming balls on the tires, and the front tires began to cup outward. Both trucks I have purchased from spikes Ford in mission texas. When I purchased my vehicles they came with tire road hazard warranty when I took it to Ford they told me it was my problem and would not cover anything. In my opinion these problems on two separate vehicles two years apart are a firestone hazard in the making. I like Ford vehicles but when someone starts putting my life and others in danger I cant tolerate that. I know that if this incident has occurred to me multiple times with two different F-150s from two different years it has occurred to others as well.

Had a tire blowout while on interstate. Goodyear dealer inspected tire and determined that there was no cuts or punctures that caused the blowout. Goodyear offered a discount on a new tire based on tread wear. Goodyear dealers , however do not have the tire needed. I contacted goodyear and they said they are on back order and I should just but a used tire to use until tires are available. I don't want to use any used tires and I am now afraid of my other tires on any interstate driving. Goodyear was very uncooperative to try to help me in any way except to say they don't have my particular tire. I would be willing to upgrade to a better tire and install a complete new set if they would consider their discout on the better tires. I feel that I have not been treated fairly as the tire defect was not any fault of mine. . . Can your organization help me in any way? I have some more interstate trips to make and do not feel safe without having new tires installed. Nd. (tiresize: p275/60r17).

Reported problem to firestone dealer in austin, mn. They indicated the tire was not in the recall and they would do nothing for us, except price new tires. The tire blew up while one of our employees was driving on an interstate. We are extremely fortunate that no one was injured. We had to ask specifically to get the tire back from the firestone dealer. We feel other firestone wilderness tires should be considered for the recall.

I replaced my firestone wilderness at tires on 7/28/00 because of cracks on the sidewalls (just prior to recall). I showed this to a service advisor at townsend MA. Ford on 9/25/98 but was advised Ford does not warranty tires. My brother-in-law w/same truck & tires blew out the sidewalls of two tires while traveling on dirt roads going to his camp in northern maine. We both believe there is a defect with the p235/70r16 series of firestone wilderness tires. Although they do not qualify for the current recall program, nor did they exhibit the reported tread separation problem, I am convinced the "cracked sidewall" issue should be investigated. I would like to be notified if a defect is verified. ( dot number: vn08ipu496 tire size: p235/70r16 ).
