TIRES
THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT THE RUBBER HAS SEPERATED FROM THE CORD ON THIS VECHICLE. THESE WERE NOT ANY OF THE TIRES LISTED ON RECALL BUT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME TO DEAL WITH. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE ON ANY OF THE TIRES AND THAT IS DOCUMENTED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE SECOND TIRE THAT SEPARATED RUBBER WAS ON 02-03-02. IS IT POSSIBLE THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIRE ALSO. I WANTED TO REPORT IT SO THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DOCUMENTATION IF THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS TYPE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY FOR SAFETY IN FIRESTONE TIRES AT THIS POINT AND INTEND TO REMOVE THEM ALL FROM MY VEHICLE ASAP. THANK YOU FOR ANY INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY OFFER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE COMING TO A STOP FROM 10MPH ABS MOTOR CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN IGNITION KEY IS SHUT OFF. REMOVED FUSE AND NOW HAVE TWO WARNING LIGHTS. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THIS WAS AN UNHEARD OF FAILURE. AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. WITH AS MANY FAILURES AS YOU HAVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRS DONE AT MANUFACTURES EXPENSE.
