TIRES
NOTICED BELT PROTRUDING OUT OF LEFT FRONT TIRE. TOOK VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES WERE NOT UNDER ANY KIND OF WARRANTY BECAUSE, THEY CAME AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MY VEHICLE. I THEN SHOWED THE MANAGER THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. HE SAID NOWHERE DID HE SEE THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE TIRES. ALL THE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO REPLACING THE TIRES WAS THERE ON THE FIRST PAGE. THEY THEN TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND I HAD AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM I WANT FIRESTONE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACE IT ON A PRORATED BASIS. THE MANAGER THEN TOLD ME THAT HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TIRES BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A TIRE MANAGER. HE THEN TOLD ME SEVERAL OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE THE FACILITIES HAD TIRE MANAGERS. HE THEN LET ME DRIVE OFF WITH A DAMAGED TIRE. NOT EVEN OFFERING TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 265/75/16)
