| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Approximately 18-20 years ago we owned a lincoln with firestone tires. we had a blowout and luckily my husband was able to control the car. the tow truck driver, upon seeing that the tire had shredded asked if they were firestone p235's even before he could see the tire markings. he had seen many failures as we were experiencing before. our local firestone dealer replaced the tire at a pro-rated price and checked the remaining 3 tires. one more tire had to be replace as it was on the verge of a failure. i reported this problem to the dot and was told that the failure rate for these tires was only 1/2 of 1% and there was no recall. i feel that firestone knew many years ago that their tires were defective. now however, suv's that have blowouts are not as controllable as cars and roll over frequently and cause serious accidents. has firestone been disregarding a faulty and dangerous designed tire? perhaps you should go back into your archives and see how many complaints there were before suv's and light trucks became so popular.( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 ) |
