Last week I received notice from michelin north america that my claim I presented in writing on may 18 had been denied. I filed the claim because I had my warranty tire exploded on my cargo van resulting in about $5000. In damages. Michelin representative ritch townsend says that I at some point I hit something splitting the inner liner that over time caused the tread detachment. This did not happen! I am the only person that has drove this van with just 33,000. Miles. Area attorney's with defective tire litigation experience are personal "injury attorney's". No injury; no interest! This large tire manufacturer will not take responsibility for their defective tire until they are forced under judgement and then likely only after people have lost their lives! On 05/10/16 I was southbound in clearwater fl on hwy 19 when I heard a sudden explosion. Being in the furthermost right driving lane I pulled off onto the emergency lane at 12600 hwy 19. I found that the right rear tire had completely come apart and had badly beaten the rear panel of my van. After putting the spare tire on and getting back home I contacted michelin consumer care and was told to take the tire to tire kingdom in dunedin for evaluation. The manager at this store in turn also talked to the michelin representative explaining the tire was under warranty and the tread has detached. An offer was made at that time to replace the tire but I would have to leave the tire; my evidence of the cause of the vehicle damage. I declined the offer electing for the michelin claims process. As requested I sent the defective tire to michelin for a non-destructive test of the tire and requested that the tire be returned to me after inspection and I have since received the tire back in dunedin. I am convinced this tire tells a tale that will go unnoticed because nobody lost their life yet.

Vehicle had four new tires all of same brand and size one of the tires had a blow out, replaced the tire with new tire of same brand and size. One week later another tire started vibrating so we took it in and they checked it and found the tread is separating from the carcass. I had them pull all four tires and replace with new tires of different brand. I kept the four tires and checked for any recalls. This particular tire does not have a recall yet but another similar does. The tires we have are the hankook dynapro as lt245/75r16 the tire they have recalled is hankook dynapro mt lt325/60r18. Hankook says they will only warrant the one tire showing separation but will not do anything about the first one because we don't have in our possession or the other three because they have not failed yet.

Subject: ford v-8 truck engine spark plug blowout comments: I am a construction company business owner that uses ford vans for our work. This past week we had a spark plug blow out of the head of one of our vehicles this is the third time it has occurred on this particular vehicle each time we have to place it in the shop it costs nearly $300.00 to have it repaired. Not to mention the loss of use of the truck for 2 -3 days. While researching the problem online I have discovered that this has been a fairly common occurrence on many of these engines for several years. I wonder if their is some recourse thru ford other than a class action law suite to recover the expense? Please respond yours truly[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My name is [xxx] . I am a small business owner in bartlett illinois. I own a ford econoline 250 & a ford expedition. Both vehicles have been "ford serviced" since new. I recently had a spark plug blow out of the engine. I have had many a car in my days and I have never heard of this failure. Ford insisted this was not an engine defect, and although they were the only service people that ever worked on the vehicle, I was still responsible for this repair. The cost around $750. Money is important, but principle is more important. After searching the web I found this: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ford_spark.html hundreds of complaints with the same failure. It is my hope that you can do something to bring this to the public's attention and force ford into admitting fault. This is why people do not buy american any longer; to be honest I have always been a ford person; not any more. I am selling both vehicles and never buying another ford again. Thanks in advance for any help you can give in this matter. Sincerely, [xxx] ces, inc. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
