| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We were on vacation and were near palm springs, california travelling on the i-10 w/b when the right rear tire separated and caused extensive damage to the right rear quarter panel. if the separated tread hadn't hit the tailpipe and quarter panel, then the tire may have come up and hit the rear passenger. the tread actually pushed up the carpeting and indented the undercarriage. we kept the separated tire.took pictures.we bought new tires. we just filed a complaint with continental tires as of 7-6-03. i think they expected us to drive on the three other tires until our vacation was over. when i told them i replaced the other tires they said there wasn't anything they could do, except examine the bad tire. is it going to take a fatality(s) before something is done? continental tires said my tires { general grabbers aw 275/60/r17 } were not part of the recall. according to my dot #. i hope they will at least replace my one tire and repair the damage to my 2001 expedition. well at least there hasn't been any deaths/injuries. but i remember several years ago ford had problems with the firestone tires, it took lawsuits and deaths to recall those tires. i can see that ford is having problems with tires again. i hope you can help me with this. or warn other owners of the potential problem with the tires.*ak |
