| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I currently drive a 2000 ford explorer 6 cyl. 2 wheel drive w/ goodyear wrangler rt/s tires. i was recently notified by midas of orland park after having my front brakes replaced that the front passenger tire has a belt that has shifted. my tires were replaced due to the recall of the firestone tires. at that time i had roughly 16,000 miles on the suv. at the present time i have just under 40,000 miles on the suv. i did not notice that the tire was bad mainly due to the fact that the ford explorer is a very rough ride. i do not go off roading with this vehicle nor do intentially hit large bumps or pot holes at a rapid speed. i am not only disappointed with the performance of the vehicle but also with the performance of the tires. since the explorer rides rough (a side to side wobbling motion) i can see were many accidents occured. the owner of the vehicle is unable to detect a default in the tire. the question i pose is, is ford at fault because of there inadequate engineering and unstabe suspension or is goodyear at fault for the manufacturing of faulty tires? |
