| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When i bought my ford explorer used in 1997 with 39,000 miles on it the tires were bloated out of shape and the vehical shook violently at any speed above 35 mph. i replaced the tires because they were extremely dangerous. then the tires were re-called. i contacted firestone and they told me they would not reimburse me for the tires because i did not save them after they were removed and i could not prove i ever had them. now i have a recall for the spare tire (which is the origional firestone atx defective tire. i contacted firestone by email with this fact and firestone is ignoring me. please let me know what i need to do now that i have the proof that firestone demanded that they sold me defective tires. thanks, john ulrich. *nm |
