| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: All 4 tires became defects after 10,000 miles. it happened one at a time and i have asked them to make sure the others were ok. 2 of t hem (front) had bulges in them, the 2 in the back had tread seperation and thankfully i felt it before it blew up. they charged me over $30 to change each one even though it was under warranty for 30,000 miles. as for the last and most recent one just a week ago, i took it to a different dealer and (firestone as well) and he told me he never sold that tire before and gave me a different one for only $15. i have called firestone and they simply didn't care and they told me it's normal to charge that much to change a tire. those tires were selling as 4 for $99 so i'm sure others bought them and had similar problems as well. i have been awaiting to see if they get recalled but they never did. so please help me because 3 of the tires replaced were replaced with the same exact brand and type and size. i still feel the fear of something happening while i'm going at high speed on the highway. so far what was supposed to be 4 for $99 plus installation which was over $150, had cost me over $100 more for a total of more than $250 and that is while they were still under warranty. thanks for trying to help. *ak( dot number: ??? tire size: 185/70 r14 ) |
