| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My original equipment firestone tires were found to have tread separation when i bought them in becuase of excessive wobble. i had these 4 tires replaced on my own. now there have recalled these same tires for the exact issue i had to replace them. i have written to firestone and completed all of their reimbursement forms only to be rejected since my replacement was before their recall. i don't understand how they cannot reimburese me for defective tires simply becuase i replaced them earlier. the nhtsa should force firestone into reimbursing all owners of these defective tires who had them replaced regardless of when the replacement took place. we were in just as much danger driving on these defective tires as anyone was who had them replaced in 2000 and was eligible for reimbursement. thank you. *ak (tiresize: p235/75r15)( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 ) |
