| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Incident i was on a trip to point reyes this last weekend. on the way home i had a front tire delaminate while i was towing my 27 foot travel trailer. fortunately no one injured and i was able to exit the freeway safely. the tire did not deflate until after it was removed. the vehicle sustain about $2,000 in damage. i have approximately forty six thousand miles on the tires. when looking at pictures of the tires of the firestone/ford recall this tire could looks be ones of the tires in the photos. 2001 f250 crew cab 4x4 short wheel base stock tire i bought the truck in october of 2000 new with these tires on it. nomad 27?? approximately 7700 lbs dry about two weeks ago i had a lady in a small honda civic with her small children run a red light in front of me. i was going about 45 miles per hour. i almost t boned her, i was fortunately able to swerve into on coming traffic (cars were in the slow lane) i swerve again and made an unexpected left turn. i had the truck lockup as hard could to stop, i was surprised as was wife that we did not hit the car. after that the front end felt off, i thought the alignment was off. i was planning on putting the truck in the shop for it's 45k checkup after our last planned camping trip of the year. on the trip i felt the alignment just did not feel right. on the way home on black point turn off hwy 37& hwy 80 on ramp we had a small car cut in front of us last minute to get on the freeway we had to lock up the rig, missed rear ending him by about 3??. the tire gave way about approximately 5-10 miles down the road. the reason for my email is if these tire are also defective, we did not get hurt but i do not want to see any one else get hurt. thanks, |
