WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE (SENTRY TRU-TRAC APT, SIZE LT235/75R15, DOT-CHHK) SUDDENLY HAD 28" OF TREAD SEPARATED FROM STEEL BELTS. TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT. THE SEPARATED TIRE TREAD DAMAGED PICK- UP TRUCK QTR PANEL, AND BENT THE WHEEL WELL SPLASH PANELS' METAL SUPPORT ARM INTO THE REAR GAS TANK FILLER TUBE, DENTING IT BUT DID NOT PUNCTURE IT. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE THE SAME. I PLAN TO HAVE ALL FOUR REPLACED EVEN THOUGH ALL STILL HAVE 9.5/32 TO 10/32 TREAD LEFT ON TIRES WHICH ORIGINALLY HAD TREAD DEPTH OF 11. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE FRONT HOOD HAS PEELED RIGHT DOWN TO THE METAL. THIS HAS BEEN SLOWLY OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW. FORD AND AUTO BODY SHOPS SAY IT IS DUE TO POOR OR NO UNDERCOAT, YET FORD SAYS TO BAD. APPARENTLY THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS AT ONE TIME BUT MY TRUCK WAS NO PEELING THEN IT STARTED A YEAR OR TWO AFTER THIS, WHEN REPORTED FORD SAID TO BAD AS YOU SHOULD HAVE COME IN SOONER, WHY WOULD YOU SINCE IT WAS NOT PEELING. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 80,000 KILOMETERS ON IT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE HOOD. *NM
