| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There was no accident, but substantial damage to my suv caused by the tire tread separation at 65 mph. this problem is similar to the class action lawsuit settled last year by ford regarding tire tred separation on their suv line. my expedition had a tred separation on the left front tire at 65 mph, which caused damage to the bumper, wheel well, and running board. the tire was still perfectly inflated, but the entire tread, which is still hardly worn, completely separated from the tire, causing this damage. i talked to ford customer service, and they said it was my responsibility as it is out of the 36,000 mile waranty. they are lucky my suv didn t flip over and kill me, like many before me who had this same problem. these are the original factory tires that ford installed on my new expedition. i feel they are responsible for replacing the tires and fixing the damage caused by their defective product. i would like ford to repair the damage to my suv caused by their defective tire. i would also like ford to replace the remaining tires so that this doesn't happen again. |
