Tires
While on the interstate on Friday, the vehicle started violently shaking, and felt like I was driving on an egg-shaped tire. A Ford shop said the belt was separating from the driverâs side front tire, and they pulled it off and put the spare on. On Sunday, again on the interstate and maybe 100 miles later the shaking started again- but from the passenger side tire; and then I felt a catastrophic failure and loss of control of the vehicle. I was able to regain control and get the vehicle out of the travel lane. Tire debris was flung all over the road and caused substantial damage to the wheel well, liner, quarter panel, door and engine components. Physical examination reveals complete belt…
Vehicle randomly hesitates to shift (slip/flare), usually from 3-4 or 8-9 gears. It is sometimes accompanied by a clunk/slam before/after engaging the higher numbered gear. It seems to happen more often when the transmission is at/approaching normal operating temperature. The slip/flare has been becoming more frequent and is now randomly accompanied by the clunk/slam. I first noticed the slip/flare changing from gears 3-4. At that time the vehicle had 43,000mi on it.

Steering
I am hearing and feeling snaps coming from my vehicle steering. It feels like the steering column is not functioning correctly. I can feel the truck getting more sloppy turning and traveling differently than it did at 35,000 miles. Ford wants to charge me $185 to investigate and then they may take action. There is a recall on this problem, but my truckâs vin isnât listed. Iâm worried that it may come apart or cause an accident.
