| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Four (4) tires were purchased (02/05) from firestone, 08/06 one of the front tires separated, a second front tire appears to be defective also. tires were warranted for 55,000k, they were driven about 17,223k. while driving 08/06 vehicle began to shake badly, upon checking, it was discovered that the passenger front tire had separated. took tire to firestone, requesting tire be replaced at n/c, they refused claiming (1) it was my vehicles fault, (2) tire was overinflated (3)tires had not been properly maintained. i asked if my vehicle would require an alignment, due to the fact that the defective (separated) tire probably caused the vehicle to become misaligned, was told probably. i was charged $46.80 (08/29) for replacement tire,(08/30) $69.47 for the alignment and unfortunately, the other defective tire is still on the vehicle, and i am hopeful it doesn't separate. i requested the defective tire be given to me and i have it in my possession for inspection. i have e-mailed firestone, informing them of the problem(s), they have not responded. *nm |
