Rollover and Firestone Tire Controversy


Firestone vs Ford Motor Company controversy


In May 2000, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) contacted Ford and Firestone about a higher than normal incidence of tire failures on Ford Explorers, Mercury Mountaineers, and Mazda Navajos fitted with Firestone tires (later including Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickup trucks). The failures all involved tread separation— in which the outer tread carcass would delaminate and cause a rapid loss of tire pressure. Ford investigated and found that several models of 15 in (381 mm) Firestone tires (ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT) had higher failure rates, especially those made at Firestone's Decatur, Illinois plant. Ford argued that Firestone was at fault. Ford's argument noted that its SUVs and pickups equipped with Firestone-competitor Goodyear tires experienced no rollover issues, even at low psi levels. Since most Explorer, Mountaineer, Ranger, B-Series, and Navajo tires have been replaced, the rollover reports have subsided, further lending credit to Ford's position that the design of its vehicles were not at fault. Although the Explorer having a manufacturer recommended inflation of only 26 PSI likely contributed to the tread separation problem by causing the tires to operate at higher than normal temperatures. Part of the rollover issue was poor driver reaction to the tire blowout. When a tire blew, the driver experienced a large jerk and many drivers reacted by jerking the wheel in an attempt to regain control. This action causes a shift of the vehicle's weight, which results in the roll-over of the vehicle, especially when this occurs at higher speeds (many reports of roll-overs were of vehicles being driven at speeds of 70 MPH and above). Larry Webster, a test-driver for Car & Driver magazine was able, in a test simulating dozens of tire blowouts, repeatedly able to bring a 1994 Explorer to a stop without a single rollover, even at speeds of 70 MPH.[6][7] According to Forbes magazine, car experts and NHTSA claim that the vast majority of crash accidents and deaths are caused not by the vehicle, but by the driver, by road conditions or some combination of the two.















ford mustang catalogs Ford has revealed in media press releases, along with a gallery of photographs[1], a new Explorer America concept vehicle, scheduled for public unveiling at the 2008 North American International Auto Show[2]. The concept represents a new design direction for a future, more fuel efficient Explorer[3]. The Explorer America concept is built on a unibody platform to reduce weight and improve driveability, migrating from the body-on-frame platform of the current Explorer. It is designed for up to six passengers, and can tow 3,500 pounds, while improving fuel economy by 20 to 30 percent relative to the current V6 Explorer. The powertrain packages in the concept vehicle include a two-liter four cylinder turbocharged direct injection EcoBoost gas engine with 275 horsepower (205 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) of torque, and a 3.5 liter V6 version EcoBoost with 340 horsepower (250 kW) and up to 340 ft·lbf (460 N·m) of torque[4]. The EcoBoost engine is scheduled for initial installation in the Lincoln MKS sedan in 2009, followed by the Ford Flex and other vehicles, and is expected to power a half-million Ford vehicles each year by 2013[5]. Ford is also looking into using lighter weight chassis components with materials such as aluminum and magnesium, and electric power steering to reduce weight, along with improved aerodynamics, to improve fuel economy in the Explorer and other vehicles.

The women, Corina Garcia and Diana Alicia Alonzo, were ejected from a 2000 Explorer in which they were passengers when it turned over in May 2003 outside of San Antonio. Their families sued Ford, alleging the automaker should have used stronger glass in the vehicle..
The explorer and mountaineer were updated for 2006 on a new frame, produced by magna international rather than tower automotive. it was upsized, because the ford freestyle (now called ford taurus x), slotted between it and the escape. along with this new, stronger base were a new interior, redesigned rear suspension, and power-folding third-row seats. a tire-pressure monitoring system and electronic stability control are standard. power running boards (like those on the lincoln navigator) that lower to allow easier to access for someone entering the vehicle and then later retract upon door closure are available. unlike previous explorers, there will be no right-hand drive version. ford australia has a capable local equivalent instead, being the australian designed and developed ford territory. the new explorer is marketed in japan in a left-hand drive configuration, as lhd vehicles are considered prestigious there. 2000 Ford Explorer 4WD 6 cylinder 4.0 liter R (L5) Auto 16 20 ford mustang cheats Test Drive: 2007 Ford Explorer ford mustang cobra 2003 The latest Explorer assumes the mantle of class leadership with 10 new advanced safety technologies that come standard. Seven of the 10 are new to the mid-size SUV class, including four new adaptive technologies… Explorer crash safety supervisor Jeff Laya says: "Explorer's new adaptive safety features all work together to estimate the size of the occupant and impact severity, and are then tailored to manage those forces." Sue Cischke, vice president, Environmental and Safety Engineering says: "The 2006 Ford Explorer's suite of available safety features is unmatched in its class. It offers confidence-inspiring active safety technology combined with AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive Roll Stability Control — to help prevent accidents from occurring." Fact is, the new Explorer meets all known federal frontal- and side-impact crash requirements through 2010. As with the previous model, the 2006 Explorer offers available Safety Canopy™ side air curtains that deploy in certain side-impact collisions or if an impending rollover is detected to help protect front- and second-row outboard occupants. The air curtains feature "roll-fold" technology. If an occupant is improperly seated and resting his head against a window, the Safety Canopy™ is designed to slide between the glass and occupant as it inflates. A new front "sail panel" of fabric attached to the A-pillar also helps position the Safety Canopy™. ford mustang catalog archive Still, you feel as if you're driving a truck when you're behind the wheel.
