Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When applying brakes it caused vehicle to vibrate, vehicle been in dealer shop for repairs on two occasions,and problem still reoccurring. . *ak one wheel locked up while traveling. Transmission and shifter vibrates under rough road codition. The steeting and the vehicle in general were not secure.
My husband, joe, was involved in an accident on 12/18/00. According to my husband everything happened so quickly but he claims the wheel (driver side) came off prior to hitting the other vehicle. The other vehicle sustained minimal damage. The wheel came off. The wheel came off at the shaft. Nothing appears broken and the threads are not damaged (shaft). The wheel is still inflated, lug nuts and brake assembly still attached.
I collided with a smaller vehicle(chevrolet beretta) at a low speed. My wheel fell off and I ran over it. The reporting police officer shared my disbelief that this occurred with minimal damage from the collision to the other vehicle. I think that the wheel may have broken loose just prior to the actual collision.
I purchased a 1999 f150 on 5/9/00. I recently bought new tires for my truck and found out that one of the wheels was bent on the inside. The bend in the wheel was bad enough that the wheel could not be balanced properly and would wobble. I then proceded to put on my spare tire and noticed that the spare tire was a different size than what was on the truck when I purchased it. The size on the truck is 255/ 70r 16. Manufacturer required size is 235/70r/16. I brought this problem to the selling dealer and set an appointment for them to take a look. I am asking for your help because I feel I have been taken advantage of and they will think I caused the problem. I did not cause this problem. This truck was sold to me in this condition. I just now found out I had this problem just because I wanted new tires before winter hits. Any information you can give me will be very helpful. Thank you very much.
Noticed wheel lug nuts were loose before performing first tire rotation. Three of five nuts were loose on both rear wheels.
