TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WITH THESE TIRES, I HAD A TREAD SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE ON MY RIGHT REAR. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND FISHTAIL ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AFTER THE TRUCK WAS BACK ON ALL 4 WHEELS. THERE WAS REALLY NO WARNING TO ME THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT OCCURED ON AN INTERSTATE AFTER I ENTERED IT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES BACK. LUCKILY, I NOR ANYONE ELSE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THIS MODEL TIRE FROM FIRESTONE SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKED AT FOR DEFECTS. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY TRUCK FROM THE DOOR BACK TO AND INCLUDING THE BUMPER SUFFERED SEVERE DAMAGE FROM THE LOOSE TIRE TREAD BEATING ON MY TRUCK BEFORE IT SEPERATED FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE, OF WHICH STILL IS PROPERLY INFLATED. THE TIRE ITSELF DID NOT BLOW. IN CONCLUSION, I AM EXTREMELY FORTUNATE AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM ABLE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT REPORT. I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO DIED WHEN THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MODEL FIRESTONE TIRE ALSO, NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I WENT THROUGH TODAY, OR ANYONE ELSE DIE FROM THIS DEFECTIVE BRAND OF TIRES. THANK YOU.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265X75X15 )

REPORTED FAILURE TO DEALER AND I WAS CHARGED $149.90 TO REPLACE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT MODULE, P/N 12463017. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT, SEATBELTS ARE A SAFETY ITEM, IF OUR GRANDCHILDEN HAD BEEN WITH US, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROTECT THEM, WE CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO HAVING NO SAFETY RESTRAINTS AT ALL, WE HAVE CONTACT A DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ORDERING THE PARTS, ITS IS COSTING USMONEY THAT WE DON'T NOT HAVE. OUR TRUCK IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND NOT THAT MANY MILES ON IT, THE SEATBELTS SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN. THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE, OF PLASTIC WITH PLASTIC INSIDE THE RESTRAINT BUCKLE.
