| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In july of 2000 i went to firestone to report a bubble in my right front tire. the employee said that the tread was seperating and that i should buy new tires. they had none in stock so i bought elsewhere. i still had the firstones on the rear. on easter 2001 while returning home on the highway at 65 mph the left rear tire suffered tread seperation. i was able to pull to the side and had the tire changed. i had 5 family members in the car who were very scared by this. damage was $2300. i would be happy to write a more in depth report or be interviewed. i never saw any indication that these tires were recalled. if i had left the ones on the front we may all be dead. please stop firstone from handling individual claims rather than recalling all of the obviously defective tires - nobody else should die in order to save them money and reputation. i have the tire....and photos. *ak (dot number: vdxf axd tiresize: 33x12.50r1) |
