| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Own a 2000 ford expedition (original owner) and had tires replaced as part of recall of 2002. tires were replaced at local ford dealership with general grabber aw p275/60/r17. recently i noticed "steering" and "bumpy" ride, so i took vehicle to get it checked out. mechanic showed how one tire had "bowed out" feature and explained that this was a "tread separation" and needed to be replaced. remembering prior recall for same reason, was concerned this was a possible manufacturer defect. researched on internet and found # to call at continental to report. called and spoke with "bill" who recorded my concerns and created a file #22239. told me a could go to national tire and battery and have it checked out. went to ntb and the technician examined the tire and said he could not prorate the warranty. i explained that i just wanted to inform the manufacturer of the possibility of a manufacturer defect in case there were other complaints for the same type of tire. he said that with the apparent age of the tire it could have been caused by a bump that had caused the weakness. my expectations for a tire is for the tread to wear out before any other breakdown. *nm |
