 We first had the front brakes pull right we had the truck in 2-3 times for that problem they finally fixed it. but now the brakes pull left. they do not know how to fix the problem. the engine/electrial problem. all of the sudden everything electical quits working. i didn't know how to classify this problem. they replace a module and it still happens. we are awaiting for them to fix again. on the tires one blew out in the middle of the night on a very dark road 1 mile from the house my husbad drove it home took it in the next day and the refused to fix because he drove on it. approx a month later we were on a road driving only approx 45 mph. my husband felt something when we were at a light,we pulled in to a store just passed the light got out and the back right tire had blown. we changed the tire took it in and they said they are not on a recall even through they clearly had the white ring all around the tire where it had come apart. we replaced the tires with cooper tires. we still have the tires. goodyear inspected and agreed it was due to poor manufacturing. on the warranty problems we contacted the manufacture arbitration board. they stated since we use the truck for business we can not have the truck replaced. no where in any of my documentation states that. if this were so we would not have bought the truck. the dealership knew we used the truck for business. the business consist of a handyman business. the most we do to the truck is put on miles.*ak (dot number: vnw81xl tiresize: 265 75r16)

 When crossing multiple railroad tracks,ignition shut off and would not restart. managed to coast past tracks before coming to a stop on side of road. tow truck driver (larry's towing 281-342-981, rosenberg tx) said this was the second ford truck(model year 2000, that he had towed with same problem, just stopped running. this problem which could easily had led to fatal accident when stopped on rail line is apparently well knwn to tow truck drivers , thus must also be known to ford, but they have no recall etc.2 *ak
