I reported having problems with my tires to pulliam ford and firestone dealers. I recieved a cold shoulder and a general lack of concern for my situation or my wellfare. Two days later I nearly killed myself on the way to work when my left right tire exploded and came of the rim for no apparent reason. I had my complaint formally documented my ford motor company's headquaters on 9/12/2000, the blowout occured two days later. I had been experiencing problems sustaining air pressure in all four of my tires weeks previous. I also had my tire inspected for the problem by ford who told me I had know problem. The tire that blew was not of the type listed on the recall meaning the dot # did not start with vd. I have reported my experience( blowout) to pulliam ford this morning and recieved once again lack-luster service and a direct refusal to assist me in providing a safe vehicle for mine and my family's disposal. I can only imagine the consequences had I been going faster than 50 miles per hour, up to this point I just wanted a safe vehicle but, now I feel as if well being has been put at risk when it could have been avoided with little cost by these companies in which I invested my faith. Please help!( dot number: )
