Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The purpose of my letter is either to inform or alert you to a tire situation. on may 7, 2007 the continental tire tread on the 2005, ford, escape left the wheel in a complete circle, nearly causing a potential accident. i consider this to be a catastrophic failure unlike any that i have known. i used the spare tire, and reported the situation to my ford dealer. they, in turn, reported the failure to both , continental tire company and the ford motor company. since then the continental tire company offered to replace the tire by offering me $20.00 off a replacement tire as the cost of fair wear and tear. at no time has continental expressed any interest in viewing the separated tire. in short, $20.00 take it or leave it. on the other hand, the ford dealer sold me a set of different tires at his cost just so that we could have some peace of mind while driving in the future. if you have an interest in obtaining more information i have a series of photos of the separated tire which i would send you upon request along with dot numbers, etc. my email is milpridbassett@aol.com. *ak
