Two blowouts have occurred on this vehicle in about a year. In both cases, the tires had been inspected and properly inflated within a few days of the incidents (by two different shops). The first was a flat tire discovered in the morning, removal of the tire showed a 2+ inch gash on the inside sidewall of the tire, they had been rotated two days previous. The second occured while driving-- the tire fell apart while travelling on the new jersey tpke, 3 days before, I requested the pressure on the tires be checked during a routine oil change. Mr
Right rear tire is wearing excessively every 10,000 mile. Vehicle been to repairs shop, but problem still occurring. Feel free to provide any further information.
Shortly after purchasing my taurus I noticed a slight vibration when braking. It was very minor and I did not worry about it - thinking it was a knot on a tire. It got steadily worse and when I had a mechanic look at it he told me I needed new tie rod ends. The front tires had both worn to the steel belts. I replaced both the tie rod ends and the tires. Now I am still feeling the shudder when I brake and last week I started noticeing the steering was getting difficult and humming as I turned. I took the car to the mechanic today and he said the rack and pinion was leaking and needed to be replaced. He suggested your website and I have found numerous other people with the same problem. Ford needs to do something about this, it seems to be getting out of hand. I hope you can pressure them into standing behind their product and do what is fair.

I had been driving down the road at a slow rate of speed when the tire blew up. It blew out my quarter panel 2 inches from the frame of my car. Had I been on the highway I would not be hear right now . My car veered off the raod ,over thecurb and into a parking lot. Had there been a person next to me there would have been an accident. General tire says there not libel because there was a plug in the tire. That plug ahd only been in a short time. The integrity of the tire was not compromised because of the plug. I had an explosion, that was the problem.the tire compnay cannot tell me for every tire that had a plug in it they will nor be responsible for it if it explodes. That is unconscionable. *ak (tiresize: p20565r15)( dot number: tire size: p20565r15 )
