TIRES
IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL ON THE CONTINENTAL/GENERAL GRABBER AW TIRE SIZE P275/60R17 ON MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS PER CONTINENTAL TIRE FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF TIRES I HAD ALREADY REPLACED, NOW THEY REFUSE TO DO SO. UNFORTUNATELY I FEEL THIS COULD BE RESOLVED IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST LISTEN, BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. TS

TIRES
I HAD 4 TIRES REPLACED DUE TO IRREGULAR TREAD WEAR ON MAY 22, 2001. I JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THESE PARTICULAR TIRES WERE RECALLED, BUT IN ORDER TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY PURCHASE, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THE TIRES BETWEEN AUGUST 19, 2001 AND OCTOBER 10, 2002. THE TIME PERIOD IS INADEQUATE IN MY CASE. A DEFECTIVE TIRE IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE MY TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED EARLIER THAN THE ALLOTTED DATES. ESSENTIALLY, IF I HAD WAITED 3 MORE MONTHS TO HAVE MY TIRES REPLACED, PERHAPS INJURING MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, THEN I COULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED. THE TIME PERIOD NEEDS TO EXTENDED ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES. DT

AT HIGH SPEED, ON LONG SUSTAINED, STEEP GRADES 5-7%, AT HIGH RPM, THE STEERING LOCKS UP FOR 2-10 SECONDS. THE STEERING MAKES A NOISE AND THEN BREAKS FREE. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND CAN NOT REPRODUCE THIS EVENT. EVERY TIME I DRIVE INTO THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS THIS PROBLEMS RECURS. THIS PROBLEM NEVER SHOWS UP ON FLAT TERRAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
