1999 Ford Ranger

I HAVE HAD 2 OF THESE TIRES BLOW OUT ON ME. THE FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. HEARD A LOUD BOOM AT 10 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT. WENT OUTSIDE AND FOUND A GASH IN THE TIRE ON THE SIDE WALL ABOUT 5 TO 6 INCHES LONG. I HAD THOUGH SOME ONE HAD SLASHED THE TIRE BUT THE POLICE OFFICER SAID THAT THE TIRE BLEW OUT FROM THE INSIDE. THIS TIRE WAS ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE 99 FORD RANGER PICK UP. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE SAME TIRE BRAND AND MODEL. THE SECOND TIRE BLEW OUT 6/24 WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 81. THIS WAS THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE SIDE WALL HAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SEPARATION STARTS RIGHT ABOVE THE RAISED WHITE LETTERING. ONE OF THE OTHER 2 ORIGINAL TIRES HAS SOME OF THE WHITE BEGINNING TO SHOW ABOVE THE WHITE LETTERING. THE TIRE THAT WAS REPLACED 3 WEEKS AGO IS ALSO BEGINNING TO HAVE SOME OF THE WHITE THAT IS UNDER THE BLACK COLOR OF THE TIRE SHOW THROUGH RIGHT ABOVE THE LETTERING. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE WITH KELLY TIRES. I HAVE THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES IF YOU WANT THEM. *TR

I HAVE A RECALL ON A FORD RANGER 1999 PICKUP FOR THE SPEED CONTROL. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME IN AUGUST. THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE AT MY LOCAL DEALER - BITTERROOT MOTORS AND WHEN I CALL THE FORD HOTLINE, THEY ALSO SAY THE PART WILL BE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL MAY OR LATER. I THINK IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH THE RECALL A LITTLE SOONER THAN 10 MONTHS AFTER THEY ISSUE THE RECALL. NOW IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP CALLING THE FORD DEALER TO FIND OUT WHEN I CAN SCHEDULE A REPAIR. THEY DON'T KEEP A LIST TO CONTACT ME WHEN THEY GET THE PART IN. *TR
