2000 Ford Taurus tires problems

“2 MONTHS AGO ADVISED BY WALMART THAT TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING. 3 WEEKS AGO TOOK CAR IN TO MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED TIRE WAS SEPARATING AND THAT ALL 4 TIRES NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO AGE AND DRY ROT. WENT BACK TO SAM'S CLUB BECAUSE I STILL HAD ABOUT 40% LEFT ON MY WARRANTY. THEY ONLY WOULD COVER THE ONE SEPARATING AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHER 3 TIRES. TODAY, DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, THE TREAD PEELED OFF THE TIRE DAMAGING MY CAR BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT. ALSO FOUND OUT THE TIRE WAS MANUFACTURED OVER ONE YEAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. PLEASE CRACK DOWN ON RETAILERS SELLING OLD TIRES AND NOT HONORING WARRANTES AND TELLING PEOPLE TO DRIVE ON DANGEROUS TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW UPDATED 11/02/2017*CN”

“I HAVE A 2000 FORD TAURUS WAGON THAT MY SPRING SNAPPED AND SITTING ON TOP OF MY TIRE. READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, HOWEVER IT IS SAYING IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAPPEN BEFORE 2005. I FEEL IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY FORD AND I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 AND MY INCOME IS LIMITED. PAYING BETWEEN $600 AND $1500 TO HAVE REPAIRED IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. *TR”

“I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2000 FORD TAURUS....I WAS WONDERING WHY MY TIRES WERE SCREECHING EVERY TIME I DROVE, MY TIRES BALD BADLY WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO...TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC HE TOLD ME THAT THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL LINE WAS BENT AND THAT'S WHY I REALLY CANT DRIVE ANYWHERE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CAR I NEED A VEHICLE TO WORK AND SEE MY DAUGHTER... *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD TAURUS. THE VEHICLE HAD COOPER LIFELINER TOURING SLE T-RATED TIRES, SIZE 215/60/R16, THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER OR FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS DAMAGED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,005.”

“I HAVE A 2000 FORD TAURUS AND THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE ABOUT A 1 1/2 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE REAR SPRING ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS BROKE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM TO FIX THE CAR. I UNDER STAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT SPRINGS BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WHY IS IT FORD WON'T ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST AS BAD AS THE TOYOTA'S PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAID TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. IN FACT IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW GETTING NEW REAR SPRINGS PUT ON IT. THERE IS ONLY 67,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR”

“FRONT TIRES PURCHASED AT WALMART P215 60 16 DOUGLAS XTRATRAC. WITH LESS THAN 10000 MILES STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING IN CURVES AND TO A STOP, VIBRATES VERY BAD AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD WALMART LOOK AT THEM FOR A BROKEN BELT. THEY BALANCED THEM AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I DROVE THE CAR HOME ,THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE. I GAVE A TWO WEEK TRIAL THEY JUST GOT WORSE. I WENT BACK TO THEM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION I HAD TO PURCHASE TWO NEW TIRES,(NOT DOUGLAS) I NOW HAVE UNIROYALS, THE PROBLEM IS GONE. I HAVE THE OLD TIRES, I WANT TO HAVE THEM LOOKED AT BY SOMEONE BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TAKE THEM. IF OF GOVERNMENT HAS CONTROL OVER THIS TYPE OF THING WHY DON'T WE HAVE A PLACE TO GO TO FOR HELP. AND I AM TALKING ABOUT A BUILDING WITH PEOPLE IN IT. SO I CAN SHOW THEM THESE TIRES. OR ARE THESE PEOPLE PRODUCING THESE PRODUCTS PROTECTED BY THE RONALD REAGAN ACT? *TR”
