| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Three weeks ago i purchased a 2000 toyota tacoma prerunner with firestone 265x75x15 wilderness at tires on it. at the time of purchase i questioned the dealership about the safety of the tires and asked them if the tires on the truck were affected by the recall that was in place. they told me no it was just the smaller 235x75x15 tires that were on recall and the other ones were safe to use. well one week ago i was washing my new truck when i noticed a small crack going all the way around one of the tires like where the carcass and the tread would meet, upon further inspection i found that all four tires had a crack going all the way around the tire in the same spot between where the tread meets the carcass of the tire! the following monday i went to my local firestone dealship like the toyota dealership i had bought the truck told me to do and expressed my concern over the safety of the tires on the truck. they inspected the tires and said that nothing was wrong with them, they're not on the recall list and that if i wanted they would sell me a new set to ease my mind. well this did not ease my mind. i do not know what to do, even the 6 year 100,000 warranty on the truck does absolutely no good. please help, i do not want to be another firestone victim.( dot number: w269 tire size: 265x75x15 ) |
