I had 4 tires replaced due to irregular tread wear on may 22, 2001. I just recently received a notice in the mail stating that these particular tires were recalled, but in order to be reimbursed for my purchase, I would have had to purchase the tires between august 19, 2001 and october 10, 2002. The time period is inadequate in my case. A defective tire is a defective tire. I feel as though I am being penalized because my tires had to be replaced earlier than the allotted dates. Essentially, if I had waited 3 more months to have my tires replaced, perhaps injuring myself and others on the road, then I could have been reimbursed. The time period needs to extended on the replacement of the tires. Dt

We followed the manufactuers certification label inside the drivers door for the correct psi for all 4 tires. The certification label indicated 26psi front and 30psi rear. We tested the tires on a montly basis and kept the tire pressure as indicated. When I went in for an oil change I wanted them to check the tires because they where starting to wear on the edges. I was advised by tiresplus that all 4 tires needed replacement. The steel belt was coming through the tread. These tires only had 20k miles on them for a 2 year old vehichle. Which 20k is under the national average for mileage on a vehicle. I'm so lucky that these tires didn't blow out due to the steel belts coming through while I was driving them. I contacted the car dealership on a few occasions and they never responded to me. Thank you

Four 1' cracks around perimeter of sidewall near tread; belts broken inside tread; still has greater than 3/32" tread; tire has always been properly inflated. Belts should not break in tires. What is cause ? ? ?
All four vehicle tires had separated tread, one major, the vehicle was not driven over 70 MPH highway and was not taken off-road at any time. Tires were replaced by discount tire 1300 e expressway 83 mcallen tx 956‑668‑9789 on 6-18-2002. Tires were kept inflated properly, alignment maintained with normal tread wear on tires. One tire had been repaired for a flat. General tire was contacted and demonstrated no concern over four tire treads seperating on one vehicle under normal use on 6-19-2002. I believe general has a severe safety issue with this tire that needs immediate attention.
While driving at 45-55 MPH driver's front tire fell off completely, causing vehicle to become undriveable. Contacted dealer, and the dealer has fixed problem.
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.
I have filed a paper report on two of the original set tires that failed. I went to a tire shop and they set a 3rd of the set was bad so I replaced it. I have been trying to deal with general, ford customer service, and the dealership but there procedure to get something done has been an ordeal that I am still working on from the original blow out. I had my 2 bad tires replaced at at tire shop because they separated,one actually blewout and caused damaged to the vehicle. The 2nd was about to blow out becase it developed a knot and was bumping as I went down the road. When I was having these two reaplaced concern for our safety,the tire shop said the 3rd tire was seperating. I had it reaplaced. This pass satursday while in rout to a wedding the 4th remaining tire of the original set started peeling off and started bumping. I stopped and changed it with the 5th tire of the original set. This is the spare. I also found the brake line had been damaged from the original blow out of the first tire when my wife came home today and told me the brake pedal when to the floor. I have all of these bad tires in my possession and I am sure you would want to examine them before I give them to general. They say they must have them before they will consider a claim from me for the damage to my vehicle or any of all of the expenses I have incurred from the failure of their set of tires. I think these tires are defective. They could have easily caused me and my family our lives. I know this report does not cover all of the details. I can give all of the details dring whatever investigation that follows. I would appreciate you help on this safety issue. I tried to contact general today but the number I was given is 740‑588‑4164 and this rings a fax machine. Please have someone come look at these tires as soon as possible.
