TIRES:TREAD/BELT
1ST TIRE FAILED W/ TREAD SEPARATION OCT, 2000. DID NOT REPORT BECAUSE THOUGHT WAS ISOLATED INCIDENT. THEN, ON MAY 22, 2001, 2ND AND 3RD TIRES OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR FAILED WITH TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION WITHIN 125 MILES OF EACH OTHER. WE HAD TO LIMP HOME ON TWO USED TIRES. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS HURT IN ANY OF THE INCIDENTS. INITIATED CLAIM FOR MAY, 2001 FAILURES THROUGH TIRE DEALER. PER CONTINENTAL'S REQUEST, I SENT THEM BOTH TIRES. THEY NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT OF 2ND TIRE AND REFUSED TO PAY CLAIM FOR 1ST TIRE. THEY STATED TIRE HAD AT SOME POINT SUSTAINED PUNCTURE IN TREAD AREA WHICH HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THIS IS POSSIBLY TRUE. HOWEVER, CONTINENTAL WENT ON TO STATE THIS CAUSED GRADUAL LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE WHICH LED TO UNDERINFLATION WHICH LED TO TIRE FAILURE. NOT TRUE. I RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN ALL THE TIRES ALL THE TIME. THEIR FINDINGS ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS WHICH WORK FOR THEM BUT DO NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL SITUATION. I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN AFFORD ME IN THIS MATTER. WE ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS FROM 7-25-01 BEFORE THEY DISPOSE OF THE TIRE. SINCE THEY REJECTED MY CLAIM, ALL ATTEMPTS TO REACH THE PERSON @ CONTINENTAL WITH WHOM I WAS WORKING HAS FAILED. HER NAME IS KIMBERELY SOMERVILLE AND HER PHONE NO. IS: 704.588.4164.
