Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My vehicle was only a couple of weeks old when the tires started shredding. when i contacted mazda and firestone, i was told i was at fault for the problem. i was amazed at this attitude since the vehicle was only a couple of weeks old and only had a few hundred miles on it. after much "debate" with both companies, they agreed to replace the tires. i am reporting this occurence now, because of the latest press regarding the faulty firestone tires. i have the paperwork from the firestone deal;ership, showing the new tires being installed, and please note, it also relfects the mileage of my truck at the time of this service-474 miles!
