Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Although i do not have the recalled firestone tires on my vehicle, i do not feel safe driving it with non-recalled firestone tires. i have tried talking to ford, my selling dealer and firestone dealers to receive credit for my tires towards the purchase of 5 goodyear replacements. i feel that ford made the decision to put firestone tires on my vehicle at the factory and should be required to provide credit towards the purchase of a safer tire. this whole recall is a mess and is confusing, i believe, on purpose. the only thing i hear is how consumers were mis-using the tires. how can you misuse a tire on an suv? the automakers show them driving across the desert, up mountains and through rivers.
