Date: september 18, 2011 driving south on the 605 freeway rear left tire blew out the tread belt portion of the tire tore of and caused body and paint damage to the rear fender. I can provide pictures of the tire and body damage it caused. I received a recall notice and I mailed the documents requested. Bf goodrich notified me that my tires are out of warranty due to age and my tires are not part of the recall notice. I told the person on the phone the incident is the same as noted "tire tread separation" as on the recall notice. I only had approximately 10,000 miles on the tires when it happened.

I observe the voluntary recall issues by goodyear (the federal safety agency 12t0030000) and since I own a 4 wheel set of those tires on my ford f-250 super duty, I noticed that my size wasn't listed. I have had trouble with my set of silent armor tires in that they can not be balanced as they should be and very pronounced cracks have appeared on the side walls close to the tread line. I limit my speed to no more than 50mph. My tires were purchased in september, 2009 and if I could crawl under my truck in search of the production dates, I'm sure they would be in or close to the listed production dates. The problem appears to be with the silent armor production technology and should not be recalled in such a narrow date range or size range. Please expand the recall to all sizes and a broader production date range.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 ford f250 super duty. The vehicle has cooper discoverer s/t tires, size 285/75/r16 (na). While driving 78 MPH, the rear passenger tire blew out and nearly caused a crash. The vehicle was able to be safely pulled over to the shoulder. When the failure occurred, the tire did not deflate. Instead, the treading separated and caused damage to the bed of the vehicle around the wheel well, which was shredded. The tire was changed and the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact researched the failure and discovered that a recall was issued for the tires. The vehicle was taken to the tire shop from where they were purchased and they stated that they where unaware of the recall. The contact was informed to call the manufacturer to have the tires replaced for free. He is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The tire has not been replaced.

Repeated manual transmission failure. Ford replaced my manual transmission on my 2000 f250 under warranty, with about 35,000 miles on it. The transmission again failed with about 84,000 miles on the truck, 49,000 on the transmission, and $4,000 out of my pocket. This truck is well maintained and rarely operated with a load. A second complaint is that I have now taken my truck in for the 100,000 tune up. The dealer informed me the spare tire fell off because the cable holding it broke. The spare tire has never been removed from the truck. This is a serious concern if spare tires are falling off of trucks.

I have a 2000 ford f-250 superduty. It's common knowledge among ford owners that the balljoints in the superduty line are prong to premature faiure. I've heard of failures on vehicles with mileage as low as 24,000. Check some of the ford truck forums on the internet, theres alot of data to back my claims. Mine failed before 50,000. Repairs/replacement will cost $960.00. Thats expensive, I had to keep driving my truck till I could afford to fix. While driving it was hard to steer strait and wore out my front tires, so now I have to put tires on to thats another $300.00. The last time I drove it before it went to the shop for repairs the front tires started to shake violently. It shook so hard I ended up in the ditch. Alot of people agree that ford should recall these balljoints even large fleet operations. These are heavy duty trucks and should'nt fail with less than 50,000 miles. I work with low income people and the longer these trucks are in service the more likely your going to see serious accidents. As these trucks filter down the economic ladder the less likely the owners can afford to make these repairs. These people will keep driving them until the worst happens. I realize this is an odd way to look at this issue but people are going to get hurt, if not now in the future.
