Ford F-250 1997 Tires Review #733672 FORD F-250 1997 car safety problem was reported on Mar 24, 2000.FORD F-250 1997, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . the following is the text of a letter that i sent to firestone on 8-10-2000. all that they did was send me form letter that didn't even apply to my tire. can you assist in obtaining compensation?: in 1997, i purchased a new 1997 ford f-250 extended cab lwb diesel truck (from valley ford in oneonta, al). it came equipped with firestone "steeltex radial a/t lt 235 85 r16 m/s" tires.i was very careful to maintain the proper tire pressure and stay well under the rated carrying capacity at all times for safety reasons. on 3-24-2000, approximately 40 miles after i had (coincidentally, i suppose) checked for the proper pressures and carefully inspected all the tires, while loaded at over 1 ton less than the bed carrying capacity, travelling at about 50 mph after dark in a mostly rural area, the left rear tire literally exploded. i nearly lost control, but i managed to slow down and pull onto a concrete drive and change the tire. the wheel hub was seriously abraded/scratched. there was very little left of the tire. i have no knowledge of hitting anything after the above described tire inspection.even though i had at least 40% tread left on all tires, this scared me so much that i went and bought a new set of four tires the very next day.i had not given it any more thought until the recent publicity over failures of firestone radial tires coming as original equipment on ford trucks and suvs during this period. so, in my opinion, a very carefully maintained tire (as mine was), well "underloaded" inspected immediately prior to the incident, properly inflated, worn only 60%, and subjected to no "injury" should not have failed, especially in such a dramatic/dangerous fashion, and therefore must have been defective when sold.i am asking for compensation for at least part of the cost of my new set of tires ($767.99ntbhoover, al).r craig bradley 8-10-2000( dot number: tire size: 235 85 r16 ).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTHX26F2VE.

Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. Ford F-250 1997 Fuel System, Gasoline Review #10584297 FORD F-250 1997 car safety problem was reported on Aug 10, 2010.FORD F-250 1997, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . driving the vehicle at a slow speed over a gravel road, the straps and/or their attachment points to the frame failed, allowing the tank to drop and make contact with the road. this was prior to ford's recall regarding the straps and a repair was made at the local shop. repairs consisted of a new tank, sending unit and straps. the shop indicated that the straps had failed but new straps could not be fitted because, either because of the mechanical action of tearing away the tank or because of deterioration, the mounting points were not in sufficiently good shape to reattach the straps. the shop fashioned an attachment consisting of chains suspending the tank from the frame. subsequently, on receiving ford's recall notice regarding the straps, i took the vehicle to a ford dealer who, after an attempt to repair, indicated the vehicle needed more work to implement the correction. the dealer (and i) spoke to a ford representative who initially authorized the repair but, when the extend of the required repair was somewhat greater than anticipated, was overruled by someone else at ford and ford denied the repair. the truck effectively could not be inspected in the future because of this defect and it use was lost other than occasional use on the property. follow-ups with ford resulted in their claim that ford was only liable for the straps and not any consequential or related damage and no other recourse was available. i would like the national highway traffic safety association to look into the ramifications of limiting a safety recall of this nature to the defective straps only and not the consequences of the defect.i am also requesting and examination of ford's willingness to send a vehicle back onto the streets with an uncorrected know safety issue. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 114000 miles.

Ford F-250 1997 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
