TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 EXPEDITION ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH WHEN THE TREAD SEPARATED ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, CAUSING A BLOW OUT AND AN ACCIDENT, ALMOST CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC ROLLOVER. I AM FORTUNATE SHE WAS NOT KILLED. WHAT IRRITATES ME THE MOST IS GENERAL TIRE HAS A REPUTATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY HERE IN ARIZONA, AND THE CONSUMER HAS NO IDEA. THESE TIRES WERE NOT WORN AND WERE PROPERLY INFLATED, AND THE ONLY LEGAL RECOURSE I WOULD HAVE AGAINST GENERAL TIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN IF MY WIFE AND INFANT CHILD HAD BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I AM INCENSED ABOUT THIS AS THE ONLY REASON GENERAL WILL GET AWAY WITH THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT MY WIFE'S DRIVING SKILLS SAVED HER LIFE. MY OPINION IS GENERAL AND FORD CONTINUE TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PRODUCT THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD, AND THERE IS NO REPERCUSSION FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE.*AK
