Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 lincoln navigator- 21,000 miles -contitrac at-p255/75r17 tires - dot# ad9c 448 5100. we had been driving for about 2 hours on i-95 at speeds between 65 and 70 mph. (posted limits on i-95 are 65 and 70) on a sunny day with temperatures around 95 degrees. the rear passenger side tire lost all it's tread and immediately blew out. this happened on friday afternoon around 5 pm in moderate traffic 7/16/2004. fortunately i was able to keep the car under control and move to the shoulder to change tire. the tire tread caused body damage of approximately $500.00 and forced me to replace all four tires and one wheel at a cost of $868. (at my expense of coarse. the ford dealer where i bought the car would not have it any other way.) i will retain the old tire and wheel for inspection if needed. *la |
