Due to one defective firestone tire, vehicle flipped over at 70 MPH. The tread on the tire split, but the tire did not deflate, causing the tread to get wrapped around the rear axle. Vehicle lost control, resulting in a crash/injuries. Dealer has not been contacted.
I had tread separation on two tires within a week. First incident was reported to firestone. Report#017116. Second incident will be reported on monday 6-28-99. I am not taking any more chances. I am replacing remaing 2 front tires and the damaged tires today. I want firestone to pay for all bad tires. I want you to investigate, this is serious. If you need anymore information let me know. Thanks. *ak( dot number: vdhl1pm tire size: p235/75r15 )
Passenger's side rear tire outside steel belt separated from the tires and caused an accident. Cause unknown.
When vehicle front tires showed signs of cupping, it was taken to ntw for service and we were told that all ford trucks and suvs require a camber kit to remedy the problem. When I contacted our ford dealer, not covered by warranty. So this cost us 129.00 for a problem ford knows about designs into the vehicles and then will not fix. I beleive there should be a recall on all vehicles, or maybe this is another way to make money
