| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Tire blister issue(turanza el 42 p215/55r17 93h m+s)--- i noticed a tire blister on my front passenger tire. i visited my dealer for assistance but was only redirected to bridgestone/firestone. however, bridgestone/firestone did not address the matter and simply ignored the failure of the tire integrity. i am worried as bridgestone/firestone has a histoy of ignoring problems with its products and has sacrificed the safety of the consumer in order to gain a profit. no one answered the phone when i contacted the bridgestone/firestone warranty number (800-847-3272). i eventually located another number via directory assistance (800-582-0962). however the sole tech support representative simply dismissed the matter. the representative did not complete a claim form or provide a claim number. he directed me to seek the advice of a bridgestone/firestone retailer. however, the retailer could not provide assistance without a claim number, which the manufacturer tech representative should have provided to me. i am very concerned with the way bridgestone/firestone handled this matter given its previous history. i wished that nissan never placed this brand of tires on its new vehicles, especially if nissan does not plan to protect its consumers from bad manufacturers. ***please note that your system will not allow me to insert the correct tire size. my tire size is p215/55r17 93h m. *ak |
