I just got that letter in the mail yesterday. Looks like Ford is paying attention to the responses of problems with the vib problem.

 

LMAO...I love this place. Comic relief at its best.

 

got mine yesterday! I havent noticed any problems with 9500 miles!

 

I hear a lot of guys got the letter. If it weren't for this post on here, I would have never knew Ford extended it since I never got a letter yet from Ford. Wonder when I'll get mine?

 

Can someone please explain what they consider uneven/rapid treadwear (in 32nds of tread). I have got 27,000 miles and though they have worn very uneven the high side of tread only has 5/32 left. Also what are they suppose to do if they do find that the tread is considered to be defective. Not to mention that the shimmy going down the interstate is driving me bonkers. I wasn't conserned with this because I had planned on buying some 285 or 295 all terrains anyway but seeing how all the Toyo's and Nitto's are on backorder I guess I need to look into this.

 

Hey TXLT...

Are you the original owner of the truck? If not, you may want to make sure you're name is tied to that truck's VIN. This way when a campaign is opened, you're included within the mailings.

I had to manually add myself to my old 98 Explorer XLT and recently did the same for my wife's new 04 Eddie Bauer Explorer.

Just a thought...

My letter showed up monday 7th. I was hoping the letter said, Do you like your new rotors and pads?......

 

I got my letter today in the mail. I haven't had any real noticeable problems yet. Only noticed a slight steering wheel nibble twice for a short distance before my first rotation. Haven't had any trouble since though.

 

Yeah, I brought the truck back in October of 04 with just 10 miles on it. I wonder why I never got a letter yet? Maybe it's still on it's way?? It's weird, I don't knwo whats going on with it?

 

Bought mine 10-24-03 and haven’t got one yet either.

 

Friday 2/11 the dealer told me they were going to replace the front tires. I got to thinking about it because I only have 6000 miles on the truck, but have vibe issues. I looked under the truck today and the "INSIDES" of both tires are worn bad. Aprox. 25-30 % of tire tread gone and very feathered. It appears like bad alignment but dealer thinks different. These tires didn't just wear abnormal. Something is causing this and I hope they address the problem or are they prepared to replace tires every 6000 miles? I haven't received the new extended tire warranty letter yet.

 

I agree... that is weird.

 

What abought 04-05 f-150's sold in Canada, and I just bought 4 rugged trail bfg...and I hear some of you are having problems with this tire...I bought my T/A from a independant tire dealer here in Calgary Alberta Canada, Ford dealer would not help me out with blown side walls on the p235 70 17 hancooks, I bought two new from ford, got three weeks out of booth replacement tires...sucks...

 

Yeah i think Ford Canada isnt offering us the same thing or they are just realy slow.
Not that it matters for me as my tires are fine.
Later Trev

 

Got a letter from Ford the other day that included a sticker that modified my warranty manual. The letter said the tire coverage was increased from 12months/12kmi to 36mo/36kmi if I read that right. They also made reference to vibrations.

Is this due to possible vibration issues with the OEM tires?
