Purchased 2 Cooper Endeavor tires July 2022 from a highly popular national retailer, 225/60-R16. The tires were installed professionally by a Ford Dealership. The first of the 2 tires developed a hazardous outer sidewall "egg" within a few weeks of installation (under 1k mi). Having no visible or known damage it was reluctantly replaced by the tire retailer under their provided Road Hazard warranty. Rolling forward to present, following documented tire rotation schedule and documented monthly tire pressure checks, the 2nd Cooper Endeavor "60k mi marketed tire" developed a hazardous outer sidewall egg 29 mo later with only 21.6k mi. driven. The new tire tread depth was 10.5/32 in. and remaining tread depth is 7/32 in. at it's greatest wear area. This 2nd sidewall egg tire was removed by a reputable tire dealership and inspected showing no visible damage to the inner or outer sidewall, tire tread or the rim bead.

TL* the contact owns a 2000 ford crown victoria. The contact stated that the original windshield had some cracks and chips, so he decided to have the windshield replaced. The contact stated that the replacement windshield impaired his vision while driving because he could not see the road clearly. The contact stated that the windshield had a foggy, hazy smoke screen and was not clear. The contact took the vehicle back to the independent mechanic where the windshield was purchased; however, no defect was noticed. The mechanic offered to replace the windshield, but stated that it would be no different than the one that was originally sold to him. The contact took the vehicle to another independent mechanic who stated that they were familiar with these particular fuyao windshields (product number: as1m848 dot-459 solar tint dw1506). The contact drove to the distribution warehouse and was informed that the windshields were not factory replacement windshields, but were aftermarket windshields. The ford manufacturer was notified and informed that the contact's windshield was not a factory authorized windshield replacement. The contact had the replacement windshield for three weeks and had visibility issues each time while driving. The failure mileage was unknown.

While driving at various times electrical problems occur, headlights will go out along with instrument panel. Sometimes the fan on will come on and will cut off even when it IS off. When temp IS cold heater blows cold air. Hot outside heats works. Ac works fine in both climates. Drivers side window will not come down in certain temperatures. Heads have low visibility and lens cover gets moisture inside. You have to drive at night with high beams to try and see at all. suspension IS definitely a problem on steering car has a swaying motion at times especially in warm weather popping, squeaky notices can also be heard. Vehicle has 92,000 actual miles but IS becoming a hazard to drive. vehicle has been inspected by a reputable repair service who states suspension looks good, parts have grease in joints, etc and heater problem everything was in specs. large ford dealership 35 miles away would not schedule an appointment due to car being an older model. if problems are not found, an accident IS waiting to happen! note : electrical problems have been ongoing and have increasingly become worse.

I was driving across the causeway when my car started shaking. I turned down the radio and it sounded like it back firing. I pulled over and called my mechanic to meet me where I broked down. H immediately saw the problem but he could not fix it. I had to bring it to another shop to get it repaired. Luckily when this happened I was getting off the causeway because that bridge IS 24 miles long.

Was steering into an isle of parking spots when suddenly and without warning, the steering wheel began to spin freely and effortlessly. I immediately stopped the car because it could do nothing but go in the direction the tires were turned at the time of the steering failure, which in my case, would have been right into three parked cars. Upon inspection, the steering column had come loose from the rest of the car, causing a loss in control as far as steering was concerned. If this had happened while on the freeway, the results may have been catastrophic, not only to me, but to other drivers around me as well. Will take it directly to ford to see what they have to say about this situation. *tr

My wife was on her way home from work and she called me saying that something was wrong with the car. she said it was swaying back and forth on the highway and was very difficult to drive. she made it home and pulled into the drive way. when she turned the steering wheel strait the front driver side of the car hit the ground. when I got home I looked at it and seen that the lower ball joint had come out of the socket. I looked up my vehicle online and seen that I wasn't the only one with this problem. upon further inspection of my car I noticed there IS no grease port to do regular greasing of the parts. as I looked closer to the socket I seen that the socket was completely dry. no grease at all in the joints. as I inspected the passenger side lower ball joint I noticed that IS very close to failure also. I bought a new lower control arm hoping it would have a grease port and sure enough it doesn't. there IS no way to do regular maintenance on the joints. so this part will have to be replaced over and over. and it IS not cheap. *tr

On 15 nov 2009, my car started spitting and sputtering, I thought it was bad gasoline. on 16 nov 2009, I had my car checked by my garage, was told that #5 spark plug and coil was bad due to leaking coolant at my intake manifold. after contacting my local ford dealer thinking I could just buy a part vs. A whole manifold (like I was told I needed), I learned that there had been a recall for this problem and repairs were covered by ford for only 7 years of auto's life. well naturally, my car IS 9 yrs old now and I'm facing a $1100.00 repair bill. I was told the manifold could rupture at any time leaving me and my 2 yr old grandson stranded at any time. I feel like ford IS holding me hostage. with the spitting and sputtering the car was doing, we could have been in a serious accident. I have always driven ford/mercury products, but I'm not impressed with what's just happened. I don't want to be "found on road dead" (ford).

While driving at a low speed (< 25 mph) on a local rural road that leads to my house, I heard a sudden scraping noise and had a difficult time turning the vehicle into my driveway. Upon inspection I found the front passenger side tie road disconnected from the front wheel and dragging on the ground. Upon replacement the mechanic noted the tie rod had failed due to corrosion and material loss. If this failure had happened at highway speed, this would have resulted in loss of control of the vehicle and a severe crash. *Tr

On september 6, 2005, odi received a petition requesting that the agency investigate allegations of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 1997 through 2004 ford vehicles with triton V-8 and V-10 engines.odi received a total of 474 non-duplicative complaints on the subject vehicles where the complainant, or the dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine.as of december 8, 2005, odi IS not aware of any allegations where the alleged defect resulted in a loss of vehicle control, a crash, an injury, or a fatality in any of the 10,319,810 subject vehicles.in addition, odi IS aware of only two incidents where the vehicle stalled without restart.information contained in the odi consumer complaints and obtained from 72 telephone interviews with complainants showed the following:(1) 99% of the complaints were on my 1997 to 2002 subject vehicles.(2) most the complainants reported hearing a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound.(3) many of the complainants reported that the popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power; however, in 99% of the incidents reported, the vehicle did not stall.in the very few incidents where the vehicle did stall, most vehicles could be restarted.(4) only a small percentage of the complainants cited that they smelled gas or a slight burning smell when the incident occurred.(5) in all but a very few incidents, vehicle damage was limited to the engine.in one incident, the complaint reported that the fuel rail was damaged and replaced after one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine; however, the complainant reported that the damage did not result in any type of fuel leak or fire.in another incident, the only incident where a fire was alleged, the complainant reported that no fluid leak was observed, but that a fire resulted after the spark plug had ejected from the engine and he had restarted the vehicle and driven to another location.none of the complainants reported any damage to the vehicle hood.(6) only two complainants reported that they observed what appeared to be some drops of fuel coming from the cylinder where the spark plug had failed or on the spark plug itself; however, each of these complainants reported that there was no smoke or flames as a result of his incident.as the petitioner noted, and odi?s analysis showed, it IS possible for a spark plug to detach from the engine cylinder threads in the subject vehicles.however, odi?s analysis of 474 complaints describing such incidents found only a very few alleged any safety-related consequences.none of these showed any evidence of a serious safety consequence.given the large population and relatively long exposure time of the subject vehicles, the complaint analysis indicates that the risk to motor vehicle safety from the alleged defect IS very low.in view of the foregoing, it IS unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of the alleged defect at the conclusion of the investigation requested in the petition.therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa?s limited resources to best accomplish the agency?s safety mission, the petition IS denied.

In september 2002, a fuel cylinder in a natural gas powered vehicle (ngv) exploded during a fire.ford and vrtc test engineers jointly examined the incident vehicle and reviewed testing to determine whether the performance of the pressure relief valve (prd) was proper.the purpose of a prd IS to protect a compressed natural gas tank from overpressure by allowing the CNG to vent when the temperature reaches a specific point.the prd was removed from the failed tank and subjected to a yield temperature determination test. It was concluded that a direct flame (from the interior of the vehicle) onto the cylinder (located behind the rear seat in the trunk)compromised the hoop strength of the natural gas cylinder, thus allowing the cylinder to fail prior to the prd releasing at itsdesigned temperature.as a result of this testing and review of the involved vehicle, ford has developed an insulator to insulate the natural gas fuel tank from a locally directed flame projecting from the interior of the vehicle.insulators will be installed behind the back seat on subject vehicles to prevent future failures of this type. Ford's action addresses the concerns of odi.therefore, this investigation IS closed.
- CNG tank exploding in a fire
An explosion of a compressed natural gas (CNG) tank should not be able to occur, as the tank IS fitted with a pressure relief device (prd).

An explosion of a compressed natural gas (CNG) tank should not be able to occur, as the tank IS fitted with a pressure relief device (prd). This prd should release the CNG in the tank, prior to the pressure reaching the tank burst pressure.the prd did not release in the subject wisconsin police cruiser explosion.nhtsa has recovered the prd valve from the tank that exploded and testing will be necessary to establish why this tank safety valve did not release in the very high temperature fire that occurred in the police cruiser.there IS only the single known event, but due to the catastropic force of such an explosion and the potential for injury and loss of life, this investigation IS being upgraded.
- Fuel-fed fires

The fars data shows that the risk of fire from impact in all directions in the subject vehicles IS the same as all other sedans.the subject vehicles are not over represented with respect to the risk of fire in real-world high-energy crashes.a further discussion of issues related to post crash fires in the subject vehicles IS set out in the closing report for sq 01-014 and that report IS in the docket for this petition.after reviewing the petition and its supporting materials, as well as information furnished by ford and gm, and information within the agency's possession from previous investigations and other related actions,nhtsa has concluded that futher investigation concerning post-crash fires in the subject vehicles IS not likely to lead to a decision that the vehicles contain a safety defect.
