Vehicle was going 65-70mph and started feeling a real bad sway in the back of the bus. consumer slowed vehicle down to 50mph, and the left rear outside tire tread started to separate. 1998, ford, e350 super duty chassis, original tires with 48,000 miles. tire had over half of tread left. left side skirting was damaged. firestone confirmed, wanted a copy of tire.  view

My approx 75lb dog was belted to the passenger seat belt while the car was parked to prevent him from accessing the contents of the rear compartment. because his usual collar-to-seatbelt leash was in another vehicle, i accomplished this via a thin (ladies') silk scarf in a simple knot around his collar. when my husband came along a few minutes later, he opened the passenger door for the dog, not realizing the dog was restrained. the dog jumped out of the car: the seatbelt, not the silk scarf, tore! the sealtbelt tore literally in half. the tear is not at a seam or at the clip, but rather in the webbing itself. what if this had been a high speed collision? my husband and i are both physicians - my husband an er doc - and neither of us has heard of such a thing. we have contacted the dealer, who stated that it should not have happened, but wants approx $200 for the repair. in addition to safety concerns for other vehicles, i am reprting this because i think charging for a safety-related equipment failure is unreasonable. thanks for your time! pat wells.  view

Engine valves are clicking constantly. consumer states clicking is caused by faulty hydraulic lifters, the lifter orifice is too small in the 1995 model. vehicle does not have oil pressure or has very little while idling, timing chain was replaced, dealer informed consumer to use 0-30 weight oil to correct noise in the valves, however the oil change did not help, engine sounds like a thrashing machine. tailgate actuator spring was replaced. window cable mechanism in right front door panel was replaced. lock on the left rear door would lock, however would have to be unlocked manually.  view
