AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. ON INSPECTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED THAT ALL 8 BOLTS HOLDING THE DUAL WHEELS TO THE AXLE HAD SHEARED OFF. (FORTUNATELY THE WHEELS REMAINED ON THE AXLE.) IN RETROSPECT, I HAD NOTICED A SLIGHT "CLUNK" WHEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A STOP. (THERE WERE ICING CONDITIONS AT THE TIME, AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE SOUND OF SUSPENSION COMPONENTS BREAKING FREE OF ICE.) WHILE RIDING WITH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD EVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT BEFORE, AND HE HAD, ESPECIALLY WITH DUAL-WHEEL-EQUIPPED FORDS. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN 2 YEARS WHERE I HAD BEEN DRIVING A VEHICLE OF THIS TYPE AND LOST A…

SOME HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING...ON MARCH 24,2002 WHEN WE WERE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY CALL WE DROVE OVER A SMALL WATER WAY IN THE STREET OF OUR TOWN. A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE AMBULANCE LEANED TO THE RIGHT SIDE. AT THIS POINT TWO OF THE U POINTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR AMBULANCE FAILED CAUSING A TIRE TO BLOW OUT AND MADE A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE AMBULANCE. NEEDLESS TO SAY OUR AMBULANCE WASN'T IN RUNNING CONDITION. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME WHERE TO TAKE IT AND HOW TO HAVE IT TRANSPORTED. NOW OUR AMBULANCE IS A 2000 FORD TRUCK.
