I was driving 65 mph on the Florida turnpike when I heard a loud bang from the back of my 2000 Ford Expedition. I looked in the rearview mirror to see a tires rolling and being tossed down the turnpike with cars trying to Dodge the tire. I thought I had just rolled over the tire but when I got home I looked under the truck and noticed the tire was gone and the winch cable was broken. Luckily nobody seemed to get hit by the tire but I can't be sure.

With no warning spare tire cable snapped while driving down road causing spare tire to fall out and strike rear wheel of vehicle, then flew off side of road. Discussion with Ford indicated this is unheard of and they wanted $300+ to repair. Discussions with multiple other shops (not Ford) indicate this does happen with this type of spare mount. Repairs completed for under $150. I am concerned that spare can come out and once loose hit other vehicles or property/persons.

I purchased 4 Goodyear Wrangler rt/S tires from discount tire co. On 1/17/2005 the truck began to shake and vibrate while driving at highway speed. I returned the truck to discount they rebalanced and rotated the tires and informed me if the truck continued to vibrate to take it to the dealership because it must be mechanical. I returned it to the dealership, they aligned, and roadforce balanced the tires. They found that their was a defect in the tires because too much weight was needed to balance the tires. They recommended that the tires be replaced. I returned the truck to discount tire co. They again did not find a defect in the tire. I then took it to a third party big O tire co. They inspected the tires and found a "hop" in the rear tires. It was again recommended to replace the defected tires.
