2 of my cousins were involved in a Ford Explorer tire blow out outside of raleigh nc on August 16th. Amal muaraka, a pediatric surgeon was killed instantly and summeet murarka was placed in icu as the non-Bridgestone tire blew out on the Ford Explorer and the vehicle flipped 5 times when the tire blew out. What will it take for the government to act on Ford's malicious deceit. Ford's history is plagued with serious issues such as the pinto that blew up and this time it was the governments inaction and Ford cover-up that prevented my cousin from living a full life at only the age of 33. I can only hope that the government will immediately recall the Ford Explorer line even if it causes serious costs and financial burden to Ford to save lives and prevent so many from the pain of tragedies such as the one that we have experienced. Again - it is my belief that it is the fatal design flaws in the Ford Explorer that caused this wreck and the death of my cousin - he is survived by his wife, and 2 daughters. Please stop Ford from murdering others!!!!

Tire pressure in 2002 Explorer still set too low. The door panel on my 2002 Explorer says to inflate front tires to 30 psi, rear 35 psi. While spin balancing I was able to witness the "cupping" of the tire while it was spinning on the machine. This showed uneven wear. This was only on the front tires, which, according to the owners manual and the door panel, needed only 30 psi of air. I called the manufacturer (Goodyear) and they said never go below 35 psi on all four tires. I have 16 inch ap tires. How far is Ford willing to go" smoothness of ride over safety of occupants"

The tire blew out of the Explorer going 75 mph on a major route in massachuetts. There were no injuries, but I feel I should report this due to 6-month old vehicle with less than 10,000 miles. The conditions that day were very hot, it was about 90 degrees when the tire blew out need to report.
