| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A continental contitrac at size 25575r17 mounted on the left front of a 2001 lincoln navigator failed at highway speeds on a a three lane highway in ma. the sidewall and tread separated around the circumference in a catastrophic failure. with great difficulty, i kept my vehicle from hitting other cars and/or going off the road. continental has recalled tires of this type but not my serial number. they have had previous suv crashes resulting in deaths. i think the tires mounted on my vehicle are all potentially defective and asked continental to replace four tires and the damaged rim. they have only agreed to share 50/50 cost on one new tire. it gets worse. the tire that failed is out of production. they supposedly are working on a replacement but it is in the testing phase. in an all wheel drive suv all tires should be the same. since the original is discontinued, i need four new tires. i think continental should pay for all four and the damaged wheel. *tr |
