I have had two firestone tires to blow out. The first one caused an accident. I would like to get back the money I spent having the other person's car repaired, and also get own repaired. The second blow out left me stranded on the freeway. I submitted a claim to firestone and they are refusing to honor my claim. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
