Ford Explorer's
higher fatality rate in blowout accidents appears to
be related to rollovers. In 5,870 single-vehicle accidents in
Florida, the Explorer was 13 percent more likely to roll than
other compact SUVs. The Explorer was 53 percent more
likely than other compact SUVs to roll over when an equipment
failure such as faulty brakes, bald tires or blowouts caused
an accident. However, Ford is blaming Firestone Tires
and has stated that the problem points to the design and manufacture
of certain Firestone tires built in Firestone's Decatur, Illinois plant.
Based on a report by the Washington Post, citing analysis
of national and Florida crash statistics, the Ford Explorer,
even when fitted with tires other than Firestone, has a higher
rate of tire-related accidents than other sport utility
vehicles. According to the report, Ford Explorers with
Goodyear tires have been linked to 101 deaths nationwide.
