| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The tires on this car were not severly worn or cupped in any way. i took my car home and roughly a week later a buldge about the size of a half dollar appeared on the right front tire, luckily my freind caught it before i did as we were about to go on a trip and it could have been bad. i took the car to the dealership and then to firestone dealer, both said i had hit a pot hole, speaking it was my new car, i know i hadnt. the dealership and firestone dealer said to just replace this tire. so i reluctantly bought a new set of gta02 for my car (like an idiot) and then i go home and get on the internet. i found that the size up from mine have been recalled for something quite similar. not only that but i have found many new focus, contour, and cougar owners who have faced the same problem. i just want to be sure since i will now start to travel back and fourth five hours one way that i will be safe. thanks. *ak (tiresize: 215/50r/16) |
