I have a 1999 lincoln navigator 2wd with general ameritrac tr tires. Tire size p245/75/16 and the tires have maybe 50% wear on them. I have had both rear tires blow out on the freeway at two different times. I know that I didn't hit anything. Also in both tire failures I first noticed tire vibration, then noise, then the tire blew out. When I first noticed the vibration I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 to 70 MPH and when the tire finally blew out I was traveling about 55 MPH. I have four general ameritrac tr tires in my possession except for the first tire that blew out a couple of months ago. The tires are no longer on my vehicle since I feel they are very unsafe.

I own a 1999 lincoln navigator (ford engine 5.4l dohc) only 52000 miles. The spark plug #4 blow out of the engine while driving on the highway. I've seen many of the ford expedigion and lincoln navigator owners experience this same issue. There is obviously a default with there engine for these models and thus should be recalled.

I had tread separate on a second tire on my vehicle (the first tire tread seperated about six months ago). This happened while on a freeway traveling at 65-70 miles per hour. A chunk of tread about 12 -16 inches long ripped completely off of the tire. I then had to change the tire on the side of the freeway with cars and truck passing me at 70 miles per hour. This was an extremely scary situation. The passenger in my vehicle was also extremely distressed.*ak (dot number: ad70 449 0 tiresize: p245/75r16)
