TIRES
WHILE ON VACATION HAD TWO TIRES BLOW OUT ON I75 JUST SOUTH OF ATLANTA. HAD TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FROM THE FIRESTONE DEALER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF ATLANTA. THEY SAID THIS TIRE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST BUT IT CAME APART JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. IT WAS A VERY, VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE THE TIRES THAT BLEW OUT WERE PURCHASED AT THE FIRESTONE DEALER ON US41 IN FORT MYERS, FL. WHICH IS MY HOME.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/75R/16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75R/16 )

TIRES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABOUT 106 DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. IT DISINTEGRATED. I CROSSED TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A HALT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M EVEN ALIVE. I HAD AAA CHANGE THE TIRE. A LOCAL TIRE PLACE REPLACED THE BLOWN TIRE WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE. AT THE TIME I ASKED IF MY TIRES WERE PART OF THE RECALL. THEY ASSURED ME THEY WERE NOT. NOW I HEAR YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE EXACT TIRES I HAVE...THE EXACT ONE THAT DISINTEGRATED ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY TIRES END UP ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY CAR NOW-ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS IS MY SECOND SUBMISSION OF A COMPLAINT. THE FIRST ONE WAS ODI ID 522933. I RESUBMIT BECAUSE I AM INTENSLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE APPARENT LACK OF ACTION ON THE PART OF GM REGARDING MY YEAR VEHICLE. ON 7/21/99, A LARGE GMC RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED PERTAINING TO ABS PROBLEMS. MY YEAR SUBURBAN WAS EXCLUDED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. GM STATED THEY WERE WORKING TO ADDRESS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUES WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING WITH ME ALONG THESE LINES. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE MANY OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN YOUR CURRENT COMPLAINT SUBMISSIONS FOR 1993 SUBURBANS. WHAT IS BEING DONE?? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IS GM JUST WAITING UNTIL THE 92 THRU 94S JUST ROT AWAY AND ARE NO LONGER A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE FOR 187,000 AND I INTENDED TO DRIVE IT FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS BUT THE ANXIETY IS GETTING THE BEST OF ME. WHO ELSE CAN I WRITE OR CALL? THIS IS SERIOUS. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY DAY NUMBER - 512 868 0374. *AK

TIRES
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A NEW DEMO WITH 3210 MILES. IN FEB 1995 WITH ONLY 8000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT 65+ MILES PER HOUR ON THE FWY THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED ( TREAD SEPARATION) . ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT AND ROLL OVER!( NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES OCCURED). WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF FWY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED TO SHREDS. I CHANGED THE TIRE INSTALLING THE SPARE. I TOOK FAILED TIRE TO LOCAL FIRESTONE TIRE DEALER ( KENNEDY FIRESTONE) FOR WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT. THEY SAID I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING ON THE FWY. I EXPLAINED I NEVER HIT ANYTHING THE TIRE JUST BLEW APART AT HIGH SPEED WITH NO WARING. THEY DID NOT ADJUST TIRE FOR WARRANTY WHAT SO EVER @ 8000MILE. I HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED WITH BFG ALL TERRIAN TIRES AND HAVE NEVER PURCHASED FIRESTONE PRODUCTS SINCE THIS INCIDENT.*AK (TIRESIZE: LT245/75R)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT245/75R )
