Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a blow out with the firestone recalled tires. the rim cracked. the dealership said that i must of hit something to crack the rim and cause the flat because ther was nothing wrong with the tire. i did not! i said the the rims may be defective or it was caused by the unsafe tires. they dismissed it right away. i called ford motor company and got tangled up in alot of red tape. i'm writing so these possible rim defects may be investigated, so other people that drive these suv's don't run the risk of getting injured if they are defective. *ak (tiresize: 15 inch)( dot number: tire size: 15 inch )
