Pe00020, original ford taurus 1994,tire size p20565/r15. While driving on highway, driver's rear tire tread separated, causing damage to the rear end, but tire was still inflated. Changed the tire with the spare tire. Kept driving, and about 50 miles down, rear passenger's tire tread separated, causing tread to hit the fuel restart switch which caused vehicle stall and unable to restart. Previously at 11,000 mile, the two rear tires had steel belts showing. Dealer replaced tires. Manufacturer contacted. *ak consumer feel that the two tires that were replaced at 11,000 miles are unsafe.

Vehicle experienced spring coil failure which resulted in tire blow out and damage to struts, recall component however vehicle denied due to VIN #. Mjs (98m02)
Head gasket blowout resulted in timing cover gasket blowing. Also resulted in antifreeze leakage which caused timing cover bolts to harden and crasked the timing cover housing itself. The head gasket blowout would have been coverered if it had happened prior to dec 31, 1998 (ford tsr 98m01). However my case like so many others I have heard about did not happen until that expired, now I have other damage as a result that ford also refuses to help with.
Passenger's front coil spring broke, causing passenger's side tire to blow out, and almost caused an accident. *ak
