Hi my name is Denise and we currently own a Ford F-150 Super Crew truck. 
 Our horror story is very similar to everyone elses.  My family and I 
were driving from California to the Mid-West and right in Tucomcarie New 
Mexico is where we had the flat tire.  But, before that we were 
experiencing shaking in the truck.... not knowing about engines and 
stuff on the truck, I wasn't aware of the problems.  As we pulled into 
the gas station I then noticed the flat.  My brother and finance then 
changed the tire as well as AAA coming to help, but were alittle too 
slow.  He (the AAA driver) directed us to another tire center down the 
road to get a new tire and change the other front tire as well because 
it too was on the silver trends.  As we carefully drove to the tire 
place...  the sales person came out to notify us that he was out of Ford 
tires and no one around not even the Ford dealerships had any available. 
 I thought that was funny because being out in New Mexico and seeing 
Ford's, Chevy's, you would think they would have plenty of tires to fit 
an american truck.  It' s not like we were driving a foriegn truck.  So, 
after talking to this sales person he suggested we go to Amarillo Texas 
the next biggest town to get help......  our original plan was to take 
the 40 to the 54 and up to cut off time and miles on our trip.  The 
sales person said that there are small towns on the 54 but he knows that 
they were running into the same problems with having no tires to fit our 
truck.  So, once again we went out of the plan and drove to Amarillo 
Texas (MILES AWAY)!!!!!!  Scared and driving slowly we make it there to 
Discount Tires and the sales person there said he was out of tires and 
that no one had the tire we needed for our truck....  once again not 
even the dealership, because they had just called Discount tires to find 
out if they had any tires.  The sales person suggest that we stay there 
in a hotel and wait for him to get tires shipped in.  Then my brother 
just kept calling around Amarillo to find a place...............  now 
being 6:00 pm everything was closed.  The last tire center  my brother 
called just happen to have 2 tires but they were closed......  so with 
some explaining of our situation the manager then decided to let us 
drive over to his shop  to get the tires.  As we get there the head shop 
personal lets me and my finance know about the silent recall that the 
Ford truck have been having.  That is why there were no tires available 
for the ford trucks........  he said even new trucks with only a couple 
of hundreds of miles are coming in to get new tires due to the front 
wheel alignment and tires are bad.  If I would have known about the 
silent problem.....  I would have NEVER drove the truck on our vacation 
in the condition it was in.  I had my 2 children in the truck as well as 
my brother, mother and finance.  If anything were to happen seriously to 
my family I would lose it.  I can't believe that a multi-million dollar 
company would do this.  I need your help.....  

I did spend a lot of money repairing the truck, but it still 
shakes!!!!!!!!!  Thanks for your web page.
