| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The tire tread came off my vehicle while driving at 60 mph on 6/28/2000. luckily, i was able to avoid having a major crash, but substantial internal and external damage was done to my car . i contacted the tire manufactor (atlas "pinnacle") and discovered that this tire was manufactored at a firestone plant. i am concerned that firestones defective tires range alot further than just the ones being recalled as my tire had the exact same problem (tread coming completely off my tire) occur as the wilderness tires and although it is under te atlas brand name, it was manufactored by firestone. what do i do regarding the damages to my vehicle (over $3,000 worth) and i have kept the tire. i need to have my car repaired but am waiting to see what i should do in the meantime. please take note of this complaint because i am very concerned that this recall is only skimming the surface of a much larger problem if it has affected atlas tires too. thank you.( dot number: hyula9a535 tire size: 75r1597s ) |
