| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The tire seperated on the freeway at approx.65mph. the highway patrol did stop and talk to us. when the tire seperated it did damage to the right front fender and under carriage of front bumper. i replaced the 2 front tires that day as the other tire was questionable. i replace like for like on the tires not knowing of any problems with said tires. this year i again had a problem and replaced 2 more firestones this time i bought remington tires. 3 days later a recall of the firestone tires was announced. i have talked to magic ford and they feel it is not their problem. i have talked to firestone and because i did not keep the first 2 tires with separation they say that is not their problem. had i known a recall would happen i would have kept the bad tires. i did take pictures of the tires and damage to car but firestone didn't seem to care. i am now out of pocket for 5 firestone tires and front end damage on my car. do i have any recourse?( dot number: tire size: p235-75r15 ) |
