The rear tires on my pick up truck failed - the tread separated - while I was operating on a route 81 in va. The tires failed within 100 miles of each other and they both failed the same way. I was towing a trailer, but all loads were well below the maximum capacity ratings. The first tire also ruptured/deflated. The other tire did not deflate - only lost the tread. The tread wound around the axle damaging the parking brake cable. Both wheel wells and rear fenders were damaged.

I have a 1999 ford f-250, super duty pick-up, with a 5.4 v8 engine, with only 69,000 miles. I was traveling through town at 35 MPH when I heard a loud pop (gun shot sound), followed by pop pop pop pop pop. When I pulled over I discovered that one of my micro-coils over my spark plug had broken of the plastic housing. When I removed the coil I found the platinum spark plug in the coil boot. Spark plug blow out! Nice!...ford wants $550 to repair one spark plug and coil, and also check the rest of the plugs for tightness. Help!

I own a 1999 ford f-250. The truck has had 3 spark plugs blow out of the engine spontaneously while I was driving at approximately 60mph each time. The truck has received proper maintenance. I am finally reporting it after I started to research and found out that this is a well known ford defect that they will not admit to. The engine in question is a 5.4l v-8.

I have 99 ford f-250 super duty with the 5.4 I had the third spark plug on the passenger blow out on me. The truck only has 140,000 miles on it was regularly serviced. What happened was I picked up my daughter from the baby sitter and when I got her in the truck I started it and ejected the plug out of the head the engine wasn't under ant type of load it just ejected the plug I called the ford dealer they said it was not there fault it was serviced some time before it ejected the plug we had to retap and put a steel insert into the head which I was not happy with because I did not because the problem and ford should fix this problem I would not have bought the truck if I new the 5.4 had this type of problem in the beginning. I think should recall and fix there problems instead of hiding from them they should at least but you now as well as I do that will never happen so I just wanted to lodge a complaint with you guys so I could feel better about doing my part to help!

Left front firestone tire blow-out- driving my 1999 ford f250 and pulling a 21 foot family runabout style boat north of fresno on highway 41 to bass lake. As I entered the highway at fresno, I felt a slight vibration in the truck which felt like a slightly "out of balance" tire. I had not had a bounce before and thought I needed to have the tires balanced on return from bass lake. 10 miles north, the left front tire exploded / tread separation -(firestone steeltex a/t - lt 265/75r16, load range e). Loss of control of truck and truck and trailer causing swerving into oncoming left lane of traffic. Regained control before hitting oncoming traffic. Damage to left fender, inner fender, front bumper, running board and brake hose - repair estimate $2000. 7/32" tread remained- tire pressure is checked monthly and was checked again that morning just before leaving for drive to bass lake.
