I have a complaint about the tires on my navigator, they are continental contitrac at's the size is p255-75r17 and the dot number off the tire for production time is 129. On sunday april 13 I was traveling down I-4 from tampa to winter haven florida at approximately 70 MPH when the truck started shaking violently. I pulled to the side of the road and the right rear tire had separated and a large piece of the tire had come off. I put on the spare and drove home, continental told me to go to tire kingdom which would not help me. I just ask that we have safe tires on our vehicles and this tire company seems to do everything but take the blame for the problem.
The right rear tire blew out. The consumer took the tire to 2 different places and the first mechanic stated the blow out was caused by a road hazard, and the second mechanic stated he was unable to tell, but maybe due to an alignment problem.
My daughter and I both own 1999 navigators. I have had one tire split and she has already had to replace two and now the third tire is defective. We believe the tires are defective and should be replaced. The tread has split on all these tires. Dt
Continental and the dealer conspired together and my first tire was thrown away in 2 days against my wishes.no safety defect noted.
While driving, the tread of the left rear tire separated from the tire, the consumer is requesting reimbursement per the customer satisfaction program (continental contitrac as, p245/75r16, dot #ad70449387). Nlm
We had a tire-tread separtation incident on our lincoln navigator with the original continental tires. . I reported to company, but I do not know if they reported it to you. Call me with any additional questions. *ak (dot number: ad70449247 tiresize: p245/75r16)
I had tread separate on a second tire on my vehicle (the first tire tread seperated about six months ago). This happened while on a freeway traveling at 65-70 miles per hour. A chunk of tread about 12 -16 inches long ripped completely off of the tire. I then had to change the tire on the side of the freeway with cars and truck passing me at 70 miles per hour. This was an extremely scary situation. The passenger in my vehicle was also extremely distressed.*ak (dot number: ad70 449 0 tiresize: p245/75r16)
I was under the impression that the tires would last at least 60 thousand miles, with reasonable care, however we were wrong. Two of the tires now have plugs in them, one of which we are afraid to use, since weve had to have two different dealers put plugs in on two different occasions during a recent trip.*ak (dot number: 025825 tiresize: 17 in)
The tires tread completly separated from the sidewalls. All that was left on the rim after stopping were the two sidewalls standing like doughnuts on the edges of the rim. Other drivers saw chunks of rubber flying out from under the vehicle and thought I had run over a tractor trailer shed recap. *ak (dot number: 70 449 338 tiresize: p245/75/r1)
Continental contitrac as 16" tires experienced tread separation.
I have the same symptoms with my tires that the other recalled tires have. *ak (dot number: ad70449228 tiresize: p245/75r16)
Two original tires 'shreaded' beyond repair within first year. Same defect as ford motor company has experienced with its firestone tires. The failure appears the same as what has been noted in lincoln navigators sold in saudi arabia. *ak (tiresize: 16 inch)( dot number: tire size: 16 inch )
I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at approximately 60+ MPH. I thought I needed a front end alignment so I scheduled it at the time I had the engine oil changed. After the oil was changed, I was informed the rear right tire was "bad" and the tire was replaced by the dealer free of any cost to myself. I do not have the vibration any more. I am happy with the replacement policy but am concerned with the structual integrity of the other tires. In light of the recall by continental of only "16" inch tires, I think it might be prudent to review history on the "17" inch tires. *ak( dot number: tire size: p255/75r17 )
While driving consumer experienced poor drivability, upon inspection he noticed that the left rear tire had a 8-10 inch split down the middle, to the belts (17 in firestone tires). Nlm
The continental contitrac at p255/75r17 tire on the vehicle experienced blowout from tread separation which caused damage to the vehicle.
Tread seperated from tire( dot number: )
Tread separated from carcass at speed, difficult to control vehicle, but luckily it was right rear and I felt it starting to go and slowed before total tread separation( dot number: tire size: 255/75r-17 )
On january 11, 1999 my husband and myself had pulled off the lot of the dealership when we came to the red light about 100 feet away from the dealership . When the light turned green and we proceed thru the light the left rear side of the vehicle went bomb and the tire rolled down the street beside us.
