| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle started vibrating while driving on interstate 10 on may 3, 2001. at first we could not see any visible problem so we slowed our speed to well under 50 mph. we took vehicle to firestone store and the tread separation is now very obvious. the firestone store said they will replace tire with another firestone tire but they claim the steeltex tire is safe and does not have tread separation problems. this vehicle is a gm cutway, made into a class b motor home by roadtrek (home and park of canada). it is one year old and has original firestone tires. we have not driven it offroad, over medians, curbs or shoulders (this is what firestone has previously claimed was problem with emergency vehicles using steeltex tires). we did not have an accident but the tv in the motor home quit working as a result of the vibrating.*ak (dot number: dn11bia299 tiresize: lt24575r16) |
