| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My seventeen year old son was driving home from work on sunday, september 26, 2004 in his 1997 ford ranger pick-up. he was headed east on i-240 when his truck suddenly began to swerve out of control. he somehow managed to bring his vehicle to a stop safely, without a collision. after getting out to inspect his vehicle he found that his right rear tire was the cause. the tire, a firestone 14" with plenty of tread, had separated (ie. the tread had separated from the tire). the tire was still completely full of air even after this separation. the separation of the tread caused severe damage to the truck (approx. $1700.00). there was no collision and the tire did not blow out, the tread just peeled off for no apparent reason. |
