TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT AN ACCIDENT THAT ALMOST OCCURRED YESTERDAY, 09/04/00, WITH MY 31 YEAR OLD WIFE, TONYA, AND MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD SON, JACOB. THEY TRAVELED 300 MILES TO SPEND THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND WITH MY WIFE'S PARENTS. ON THE RETURN TRIP TONYA GOT APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MILES FROM HOME. SHE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVING SMOOTHLY AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE SHAKE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO OBSERVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO DRIVE SO POORLY. SHE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND SHE LIMPED THE CAR THE REMAINING SEVEN MILES TO THE HOUSE. WHEN TONYA ARRIVED SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I LOOKED AT IT AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET AT A VERY LOW SPEED. I COULD TELL THAT THE CAR WAS NOT OPERATING NORMALLY. I AGAIN LOOKED THE CAR OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE'S STEEL BELT HAD SEPARATED. THE TIRE, STILL HOLDING AIR PRESSURE AND BULGING, WAS THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTED AT THIS TIME THAT THE BRAND WAS FIRESTONE, FIREHAWK SS10. (FURTHER INFO ON TIRES P195/60R15 87S M+S DOT VDV9 JBB 226). AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATING ABOUT THE FIRESTONE RECALL TIRES I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE SEPARATED TIRE ON MY 1996 HONDA ACCORD WAS MADE AT THE DECANTUR PLANT. TODAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER, P.O. BOX 16388 MISSOULA MT 59808-6388 (406) 721-1770. I LEARNED UPON ARRIVING AT THE STORE THAT THE FIRESTONE TIRES THAT WERE RECALLED DID NOT INCLUDE THE TIRE THAT ALMOST CAUSED MY LIFE TO CHANGE. MY FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME AND I PURCHASED FOUR NEW TOYO SPECTRUM ALL SEASON TIRES. THIS SET ME BACK $300.00 AND I AM NOT A RICH MAN. THE INVOICE NUMBER FOR THIS TRANSACTION WAS 298921 ON 09/05/00... TO THE PEOPLE OF NHTSA, THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: VDV9 TIRE SIZE: P195/60R15 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED AT AN AIRFORCE BX IN HAWAII A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HAS HAD LIMITED MILEAGE PUT ON. THE ENTIRE MIDDLE STRIP OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CAME OFF WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, JAMMED THE WHEEL AND FORCED THE CAR INTO A SKID WHILE IT THREW A ROD - TOTALLING THE ENGINE. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE A USED ENGINE INSTALLED AND A NEW SET OF TIRES = AROUND $3000.( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ALL 4 TIRES BECAME DEFECTS AFTER 10,000 MILES. IT HAPPENED ONE AT A TIME AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO MAKE SURE THE OTHERS WERE OK. 2 OF T HEM (FRONT) HAD BULGES IN THEM, THE 2 IN THE BACK HAD TREAD SEPERATION AND THANKFULLY I FELT IT BEFORE IT BLEW UP. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $30 TO CHANGE EACH ONE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 30,000 MILES. AS FOR THE LAST AND MOST RECENT ONE JUST A WEEK AGO, I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND (FIRESTONE AS WELL) AND HE TOLD ME HE NEVER SOLD THAT TIRE BEFORE AND GAVE ME A DIFFERENT ONE FOR ONLY $15. I HAVE CALLED FIRESTONE AND THEY SIMPLY DIDN'T CARE AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL TO CHARGE THAT MUCH TO CHANGE A TIRE. THOSE TIRES WERE SELLING AS 4 FOR $99 SO I'M SURE OTHERS BOUGHT THEM AND HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN AWAITING TO SEE IF THEY GET RECALLED BUT THEY NEVER DID. SO PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE 3 OF THE TIRES REPLACED WERE REPLACED WITH THE SAME EXACT BRAND AND TYPE AND SIZE. I STILL FEEL THE FEAR OF SOMETHING HAPPENING WHILE I'M GOING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. SO FAR WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 4 FOR $99 PLUS INSTALLATION WHICH WAS OVER $150, HAD COST ME OVER $100 MORE FOR A TOTAL OF MORE THAN $250 AND THAT IS WHILE THEY WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP. *AK( DOT NUMBER: ??? TIRE SIZE: 185/70 R14 )

TIRES
I BOUGHT 4 TIRES FOR MY HONDA ACCORD AROUND SUMMER 97, THEY HAD ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON THEM AT THIS MOMENT. DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER IN OK AND TX; LAST FRIDAY, I WAITED UNTIL 800PM FOR THE HEAT TO COME DOWN TO DRIVE FROM OKLAHOMA CITY TO DALLAS. ABOUT 60 MILES NORTH OF DALLAS, MY REAR RIGHT TIRE BLEW UP AS SEEN ON TV NEWS REPORTS ON THE RECALL TIRES; THE OUTER PLY(S) PEELED OFF. THE DOT ON MY TIRES ARE: VDRVAIB496 MADE FROM THE SAME DECATUR ILLINOIS PLAN. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING ALL FIRESTONE'S TIRES BESIDE THE RECALL ONES. JUST WONDERED, THERE IS A WORKMANSHIP PROBLEM AT THE DECATUR, ILLINOIS PLAN? PLEASE EMAIL ME ANY FINDING OR INFORMATION ON FIRESTONE'S OTHER TIRES PROBLEMS. ..... THANK YOU!( DOT NUMBER: VDRV TIRE SIZE: P185/70R14 )

TIRES
THE TIRE TREAD PEELED-OFF THE TIRE WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS HOT DESERT HIGHWAY. THE TIRE WAS RATED TO HANDLE THE SPEED, TEMPERATURE & LOAD UNDER WHICH IT FAILED. WILL YOU PLEASE ALSO INVESTIGATE FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE AUTOMOBILE TIRES? I AM AFRAID THAT THERE'S A SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND PASSENGER TRUCK TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: EMJ6 TIRE SIZE: 185 70R14 )
