My aunt just bought 4 new tires for her taurus in august ,2000 and the week before christmas she was going to her mothers down the street about 3 blocks . Her back tire and the frount tire blew out . Does these tires have recalls on them and what can we do about it , the place where she got the tires said nothing to help her and the damage was 2500.00 with no one hurt. Please let me know something by email. Thank you'''*ak( dot number: )
Ever since tire seperated and we went off the road, even the second set of new tires won't stay balenced. One to two times a month have had to have tires re-balenced. We continue to have problems with the car. The ford dealer claims that there is no problem and general tires have not returned our calls. (tiresize: p205/65r15)( dot number: tire size: p205/65r15 )
While driving at highway speed, the tire tread completely separated from the tire body as has been reported on the firestone tires under recall. At no time did the tire deflate. When the tread cap separated from the tire it flew up onto the fender area and caused some scratching. The vehicle was stopped without incident or injury to any of the passengers and no other vehicles were involved.( dot number: a3ur442117 tire size: p205/65r15 )

Consume rwas traveling about 60mph on highway because she heard a bumping noise. She was able to pull over to the shoulder, and she discovered that right passenger's front tire tread separated, one big chunk off tire. Tires were general #g45 205/70 r15. She took vehicle to the dealership.
Tread failed and 20% came off tire. Tire did not blow. Able to stop safely. Damaged fender as it came off car.( dot number: tire size: p205r6515 )
It isn't just the SUV's where this tire failure is occurring--fortunately I maintained control of the car. This has happened to me twice before with less than 20,000 miles on original ford tires.
Belt separation in three out of four of the oem tires. *ak( dot number: m6t4 tire size: 225-55zr16 )
Tire on rear side of vehicle was split, causing a rough ride. Consumer had taken vehicle to the dealership several times. Also, complaining that speedodometer was defective, it didn't show how fast vehicle was going.
Was driving 55mph when the right front tire blew. The tire came apart. The tread of the tire came off. The steel belt in middle of tire was sliced.
Tire has a slow leak. Nlm (dot025811 - size p205/65r15)
