TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ON I4 FROM ORLANDO TO TAMPA AT 65 MPH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF MY TACOMA TRUCK HAD A TREAD SEPARATION AND BLEW APART. I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER AND PULL OVER TO REPLACE THE TIRE. NEITHER FIRESTONE, NOR TOYOTA WILL TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, CLAIMING THE TIRE IS TOO OLD AND USED. IT CAME APART JUST LIKE THE TIRES ON THE RECALL, BUT IS A DIFFERENT SIZE. THE DAMAGE AMOUNT IS THE AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE TIRES, SINCE I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE RECALL SHOULD BE WIDENED TO INCLUDE MANY OTHER SIZES OF THESE SAME TIRES. HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL IS THE MAIN THING THAT ALLOWED ME TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM ON THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID ANY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.( DOT NUMBER: W2HY AWA TIRE SIZE: P215 70R14 )

I TOOK THE TIRE IN TO A FIRESTONE DEALER AND ASK IF IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND THEY SAID NO THAT IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD. IT WAS NOT A ROAD HAZARD!

TIRES
FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM ONE PAIR OF OUR TIRES. AS WE ROTATED THEM AT EACH 5K MILE INTRAVELS THE NOISE WOULD MOVE WITH THEM. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FRONTIER TOYOTA DEALER IN VALENCIA FOR SERVICE ON 7/13/00. THEY CHARGED US FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT. AFTERWARDS THE NOISE WAS UNBEARABLE AND THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A EXTREME VIBRATION AND SHIMMY. THE TIRES WERE ON THE VERGE OF DISINTEGRATING. WE AGAIN RETURNED THE TRUCK TO FRONTIER TOYOTA WHO REPLACED THE TWO (2) SUBJECT TIRES. THE PROBLEM DISAPPERED. OUR TRUCK IS CURRENTLY RUNNING SMOOTHER THAN WHEN WE ORIGINALY PURCHASED IT. ALL OF THE ASSOCIATED SQUEAKS AND NOISES FROM THE VIBRATION HAS ALSO DISAPPEARED. WE ARE DISPLEASED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE TIRE RECALL FOR SIMILAR TIRES AND YET CHOSE TO CHARGE US FOR AN UNNECCESARY ALIGNMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS DEFECTS IN MANY MORE TIRE SIZES THAN HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THE ENTIRE PRODUCT LINE OF TIRES FROM FIRESTONE.( DOT NUMBER: W29V TIRE SIZE: P265/75R15 )
