| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the highway at a speed ranging between 75-80 mph when i heard a loud sound from the back end of my car. it started to pull so i tried to carefully move from the left lane of the highway to the emergency lane at the right when my car did a 360 and after narrowly avoiding a head on collision with a semi, ended up in the ditch on the left side of the road. the tread had separated from the tire and damaged the frame as well as paint on the back bumper of my car. i was able to get assistance to the nearest firestone dealer, who found upon inspection that the tread on my remaining tires was lifting as well and assumed that one more would completely separate before i drove the remaining 50 miles back to phoenix. my car has been properly maintained and tires were rotated at appropriate intervals. the tread was not worn and shouldn't have separated with that level of use. it was absolutely terrifying and i can't believe that these tires weren't on the recall list!*ak (dot number: w27j) |
