The Ford fiasco was related to the tires and roll-over. Anyone who drives an SUV of any type can get the same whip-over if they allow the tires on the right side to become under inflated. On a left turn, the underinflated tires cause a compound whip action and voila, yer hanging from your seatbelt with the truck on its right side.......actually wrong side as the four rubber thingies are supposed to be down.

I don't recall that story. Do you know which network did it and when was it reported?

Bob,

The main gist of the lawsuits apeared to focus on firestone as mounted on Ford explorers in '99, and '00. I am still looking for network specific reporting but the links below provide some context.

Mind you this is my opinion. I'm no expert, and I have only my own anecdotal evidence to go on.

More after I check with the network news sites.
