The contact owns a 2013 Ford E-250 equipped with Cooper Tires, Tire Line: Discoverer A/T, Tire Size: 245/75/16, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that while he was inspecting the rear tires, he noticed that the tires were cracked with tread separation. The contact called a tire shop and the tires were replaced with another brand of tires. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate tire failure mileage was 10,000. The vehicle failure mileage was not provided.

ON 3/17/2014 WE HAD 4 2-LT225/75R16E HT 701 115S BW SENTINEL INSTALLED ON OUR VAN BY BIG BRAND TIRE & SERVICE IN LOMPOC CA. THESE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50,000 MILES. WE HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 13,000 MILES. ON 8/6/2020 WE WERE DRIVING FROM WA TO SOUTHERN CA. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE STARTED GOING FLAT WHILE DRIVING. WE HAD AAA INSTALL THE SPARE AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR TRIP. ABOUT 200 MILES LATER THE VAN STARTED SHAKING VERY BADLY. WE WERE ON I5 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CA DESERT. USING OUR PHONE WE FOUND A TIRE SHOP ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY. WE MANAGE TO LIMP OUR WAY TO THE TIRE SHOP. THEY SAID THE THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING. WE HAD ALL FOUR BRAN NEW TIRES INSTALLED. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANY CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE SENTINEL TIRE MANUFACTURER. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. WE ARE VERY LUCKY, THIS COULD HAVE ENDED IN A CATASTROPHE. WE WOULD LIKE TO FIND CONTACT INFO FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO TRY AND GET SOME COMPENSATION.

The vehicle Blew a spark plug while driving. It took place right as I attempted to accelerate up to highway speed of 50 MPH. When I had it checked the mechanic said the number 3 plug was blown out and I had a busted injector. Vehicle mileage is 164k. The repair was over $1100.00 with none being covered under my full coverage insurance policy. I need to let others know what to expect from their Ford vehicle... Found out that this is a frequent problem with Ford Engines 5.4 Liter V-8..

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. DOOR WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NOW THE LATCH DOES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL SO THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE USED. IT IS A COMPANY MAIL VAN AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED.
