2015 Ford F-150: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Jun 27, 2023 · Tires · FL

Tire: P265 / 60 R 18 On June 25, 2023 at 1100 hrs, the left rear tire began shedding chunks and immediately had catastrophic tread separation. This caused a temporary loss of control narrowly missing collision with other vehicles. When the tread separated at least one large piece did not tear free and acted like a flail significantly damaging my vehicle (left read qtr panel and truck bed). This sudden tread separation was a significant safety risk to me and my passengers. Vehicle was inspected and tires rotated 1 week prior to the incident by a qualified mechanic. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the incident. Mechanics inspected the damage and tires and noted that the matching tire on the pax side shows signs of possible tread separation. Insurance Co was notified and assessment is scheduled.

While sitting stopped at a red light when I felt a lite thump on the brake pedal then the brake pedal went to the floor. No light or warning sounds at all. Pumped pedal and brakes were ok. Got home shut off and stepped on petal and it went to floor again. Checked fluid and it was low so I filled up with dot 3 fluid. Then I noticed fluid on driveway on right side near front wheel. Looked under truck and noticed fluid all over. Upon looking further it was coming from the right front brake hose. I think this is a pre-mature failure of the brake hose. I ordered this truck and took delivery in september 2015 and it only has 64,000 miles on it. The thing that scares me most is I just got done driving back from florida to nj towing my wifes 2018 ford escape on a tow dolly. God if that happened towing we would have had an accident. I know their is a recall for the master cyl. That just came out 6/2020 but I think you should look into their brake hoses also. I will be taking it to the ford dealer in the morning (all american ford point pleasant nj 08742) (6/15/2020) and want them to fix the bad hose and change all the rubber brake hoses. I do not feel safe now that 1 hose blew out in only 4yrs 9 mos. I do have an extended warranty so that should be covered. I have owned several new vehicles in my life time and never had a brake hose blow out like this.....I'm 67 yrs old.

Traveling north on I-85 in ga at 72 MPH; about 3 miles south of exit 28. Medium rain and temp in the mid to upper 60's. The tire failed on the left rear and blessed that I could drive on the median about 225 ft. There was not any road hazards, strictly tire failure!! My wife is eye witness.
