TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I OWN A SET OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES; SIZE 255/70R/16 109S M/S. I KNOW THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LATEST RECALL, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE DOING THE SAME AS THE 15" TIRES. I HAD THEM INSPECTED AT FIRESTONE AND THEY OBSERVED THE SAME THING. THEY, FIRESTONE DISTRIBUTOR, SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THEM IMMEDIATELY, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE SAME TIRE WHICH WILL BRING THE SAME RESULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED A SET OF MICHELIN LTX M&S'S. MY TIRES ARE ALOT WORSE THAN I EXPECTED AFTER HAVING THEM REMOVED AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM ON BOTH SIDES. I ALWAYS KEEP ALL OF MY VEHICLES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, INCLUDING THE PROPER TIRE INFLATION.( DOT NUMBER: VCLU TIRE SIZE: 255/70R/16 )

TIRES
IN LESS THAN 14 MONTHS, I HAD 2 FLATS WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, ONCE ON A GRAVEL ROAD, AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD EXPECT AT TIRES TO HOLD UP BETTER THAN THIS. THE TIRES DID NOT SEPERATE AS THE RECALLED ONES HAVE, BUT THEY JUST GAVE OUT/LOST AIR. INTERESTINGLY, A FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT THE SAME CAR AT THE SAME TIME, AND HE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED 2 FLATS IN THE SAME TIME. SINCE THESE TIRES ARE LABELED "ALL TERAIN" I WOULD EXPECT THEM TO HOLD UP BETTER, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR FLAT GRAVEL ROAD AT MODERATE SPEEDS. I FEEL THESE TIRES SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST ALSO. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265170R17 )

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 40 & 50 MPH, THERE IS A VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS VIBRATION IS DISTINCT IN THE FLOORBOARDS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE PROBLEM, THE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS A TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM & THE PRESSURE WAS ADJUSTED. THE SECOND TIME, ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE COULD NOT VARIFY CONCERN. HOWEVER, WHEN VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP, A FEMALE SERVICE WRITER WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME AND SHE NOTICED THE PROBLEM. ON THE 3RD INCIDENT, A MECHANIC WHO WAS DOING A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION NOTICED THE VIBRATION AND STRONGLEY ADVISED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FORD MOTOR CO. AND THEY STATED THAT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL TO MAKE AN APPT.. THIS HAS NEVER TAKEN PLACE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND WIFE AS WELL AS MYSELF.*AK( DOT NUMBER: VNCU TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

TIRES
I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. I CHANGED THE FIRST TIRE WITH MY SPARE RIM & TIRE AND NOW THE AIR IS DECREASING IN THE TIRE THE SAME WAY THE FIRST TIRE DID. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SUV SPENT AROUND AND SWERVED . I HAD FIVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR AND WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE TIRE IT WAS SPLIT IN HALF AND THE TREAD WAS TORN APART (AS SEEN ON T.V.). I FEAR FOR ME & MY FAMILY'S LIFES AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY SUV. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE TIRES, AT THIS TIME I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THESE MALFUNCTIONED TIRES. *AK
