| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my f-350 on i-95, there was a sudden explosion and caused the truck to swerve violently and as i slowed to veer into the emergency lane a loud hammering sound came from under truck. after stopping and checking i found the right inner dually wheel had come apart and over half the tread was missing from the tire. the tread separation ripped the plastic wheel well housing out and ripped two 6" and 8" tears in the bed of the truck. the fiberglass wheel well had large cracks and the supports were torn loose. some electrical wiring was also torn loose and in the bed of truck, behind the well, the metal was bent upward about 4" in a sq. ft. area. the tail pipe chrome end piece was knocked off and the tail pipe was smashed flat. i replaced the tire with the spare. two weeks later the same thing happened on the opposite side with slightly less damage. the truck has only 18,000 miles on odometer. |
