TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 ON A RAINY DAY GOING TO COLLEGE REGISTRATION IN NACODOOGES TEXAS AND THE TRUCK JUST STARTED TO SPIN. SHE WENT ACROSS THE MEDIAN NEARLY STIKING ON COMING TRAFFIC ON THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND SHE WAS PULLED OUT. SHE CALLED ABOUT A HOUR LATER IN A PANIC AGAIN SAYING IT HAD HAPPENED AGAIN. SHE WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK JUST STARTED TO SPIN. THIS TIME A DRIVER PULLED HER OUT AND SAID HER TREAD WAS BAD. THIS WAS A 5 MONTH OLD VEHICLE. THIS WAS SUNDAY SO ON MONDAY I CALLED THE DEALER SAID MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK SPUN OUT TWICE AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD HEARD OF ANY TIRE PROBLEMS WITH THE FORDS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER DAVID ADAMCECK HE HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY TIRE PROBLEMS WITH THE FORDS. MY DAUGHTER WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE HER 5 MONTH OLD VEHICLE. I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH MICHELAINS BEFORE I KNEW OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRESTONES SO I NO LONGER HAVE THE TIRES. I AM NOW UPSET THAT MY DAUGHTER CAME CLOSE TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT FATAL AND FORD KNEW THOSE TIRES WERE BAD. I CALLED FORD TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD THIS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THERE ONLY CONCERN WAS ANYBODY INJURED BUT BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER FLEW ACROSS A DIVIDED MEDIAN AND DON'T HIT THE SEMI BUT MISSED IT BY A FEW INCHES THAT ALL IS WELL. I AM DISAPPIONTED AFTER SEEING FORDS PRESIDENT ON TV THAT THEY ARE NOT MORE CONCERNED AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T TAKE CARE OF A OBVIOUS PROBLEM THEY ARE ARE HAVING. LETS NOT LET SOMEBODY HAVE TO GET KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THOMAS G. GOODWIN

TIRES
DURING A RUTINE SERVICE ON MY F150 PICKUP IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE TIRE WAS SPLITING. I HAVE CONTACTED FIRESTONE FOR A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE AT FULL COST, THE NOTIFIED ME THAT I WILL INQUIRE THE COST AFTER BEING PRORATED. I FEEL THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO THE RECALLED TIRE'S AND I FEEL THAT THIS ALSO NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURIED OR KILLED. PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF THE RESULTES OF THE INQUIRE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOHN LAND( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235-70R16 )

TIRES
WHILE THESE ARE 16" TIRES AND H/T'S THEY FAILED MUCH LIKE THE STORIES ABOUT THE TIRES ON THE FORD EXPLORER. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH OR MORE WHEN THE LF FRONT TIRE THREAD SUDDENLY RIPPED OFF AND THEN THE TIRE FAILED COMPLETELY. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT, TRAFFIC LIGHT SO WE MADE IT TO THE SIDE SAFELY. THE FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE A ROAD HAZARD. AND THAT THERE WAS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE FAULT OF THE TIRE. I HAD TO SHELL OUT FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRE AND HE SOLD ME ROAD HAZARD INSURANCE ON ALL OF THEM TIRES. I BET THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER FOLKS LIKE ME WHO TRUSTED THEIR DEALER AND DID NOT FILE ANY COMPLAINTS!! FORD EXPLORERS( DOT NUMBER: ? TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
