| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My ford explorer limited awd v-8 started to shake and bounce while i was driving near my house in mililani hawaii. i immediately drove it to the nearest tire dealer, goodyear auto service center in mililani hawaii and spoke with the general manager. he inspected my vehicle tires and determined that i had experienced "premature" tread belt separation and advised that i not operate the vehicle until all affected tires were replaced. he stated that operation of my vehicle w/o replacing the affected tires would result in total tire failure which could expose the driver and passenger(s) to harm, injury or death. as such, i complied with his recommendation that the affected tires be replaced. this took place approximately two months before firestone recalled all firestone radial atx tires two weeks ago. i would like to note that firestone did in fact send me a recall notice (unsolicited) but that the recall date is between jan. 01, 2000 and august 9, 2000. although not required by law, i feel that they should expand their "recall" to include any customer that can show documented proof that they had replaced their firestone radial atx p235/75r15 tires due to tread belt separation. thank you, wallace choy( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 ) |
