TIRES
I HAVE HAD 2 CATASTROPHIC FAILURES ON THE SUBJECT FIRESTONE TIRES @ 60 AND 70 MPH RESPECTIVELY. FIRESTONE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FIRST TIRE IN MAY, 2001. AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE, 8/30/02 I FOUND A RECALL CALL NOTICE ON FIRESTONES WEBSITE FOR THE WILDERNESS LE TIRES MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO(WHICH MINE WERE) HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS DOT#V672WL21700. I HAVE APPEALED TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER WITHOUT ANY SATISFACTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE RECALL NOTICE AND SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE FIRESTONE IS FORCED TO MAKE A BROADER RECALL.*AK

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THIS FACILITY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 1 YEAR. THE ORIG. OWNER PURCHASES ALL VEHICLES FROM THEM FOR HIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND MAINTAINS THEM REGULARLY, AS I HAVE. I HAD THE PART AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT THEE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAD A 60,000 MILE SERVICE BRAKES AND NEW TIRES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THEY CHARGED ME $1400 AND 11 HRS. LABOR FOR THESE REPAIRS THAT SHOULD TAKE NO LONGER THAN 3. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO WAS ASSURED THEY WOULD ONLY FIX THE THINGS REQUIRED BY GM DEALER AND I COULD GET MINOR THINGS DONE AT MY REGULAR MECHANIC. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME BACK AND SPEND ANOTHER $800.00 DOLLARS ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. I WILL ASK FOR A FULL REFUND OR AT LEAST HALF MY MONEY BACK FOR BAD FAITH AND FRAUDULOUS ACTIVITY ON THE PART OF A SERVICING BUSINESS. I'M A SINGLE MOM LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND THEY TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF ME. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT I AND OTHER INNOCENT TRUSTING PEOPLE DON'T GET TAKEN BY THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK CENTER EVER AGAIN. I F YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COPY OF MY RECEIPT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. I HAVE PAID THE $1400 AND DO NOT HAVE THE ADDITIONAL $1000 THEY WANT TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR THEY SAY I NEED. I REALIZE THIS VEHICLE IS SUPERIOR BUT THAT'S WHY I SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY AND SERVICED IT REGULARLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS PAYING FOR A QUALITY CAR. THE WARRANTY THEY SAY IS NO LONGER VALID. HELP!! I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTINF MY LOCAL CONSUMER ADVOCAT AS ELL AS THE MEDIA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! SINCERELY, [XXX] (STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY C A. LIC.#[XXX] ) NO REFERRALS FROM ME OR MY CO-WORKERS THAT'S FOR SURE.*AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
