BRIDGESTONE FIRESTONE TIRES Complaints

HOT FLORIDA DAY; CAR FULLY LOADED; TREAD SEPARATED AT 70 MPH (3000 MI ON TIRE AT TIME). *AK (TIRESIZE: P17570R14)

THE TREAD ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED AND THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ROLLED 4 OR 5 TIMES. I WAS INJURED WITH BRUSES, SCRATCHES,AND GLASS CUTS IN MY FACE. I HAVE CONTACTED NORMA DAVIS AT FIRESTONE (800-543-7522),BUT SHE STATED THAT I NEEDED THE TIRE FOR HER TO HELP. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE VEHICLE REPOCESSED, BECAUSE MY INSURANCE(NATIONWIDE INSURANCE CO.)CHOSE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR $10000. AFTER MONTHS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT NATIONWIDE WOULD NO LONGER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS CAUSED BY MY ACCIDENT. MY CREDIT IS RUINED AND I CAN NOT GET ANY HELP. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN. PLEASE HELP ME IF POSSIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )

RIGHT REAR BRIDGESTONE DUELER TIRE SUFFERED A BLOW OUT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL 2 1/2 TIMES, THE EXPLORER WAS TOTALLED, INJURIES WERE RELATIVELY MINOR, OWNER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (00T-005) 4 MONTHS LATER. CJ

ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE OF CRACKS ALONG THE SIDEWALL, BRIDGESTONE DUELER HT 684, 20570R15, TUBELESS STEEL BELTED RADIALS M&S, OWNER WOULD LIKE RESTITUTION FOR THE MONEY SPENT TO REPLACE TIRES. CJ

I HAD NOTED THAT MY TIRES WERE ALL FOUR LOOKING BAD FOR NO MORE MILES THAN I HAD ON THE CAR. TIRES HAD BEEN ROTATED EACH TIME THE OIL WAS CHANGED (3000 MILES), SINCE PURCHASING NEW. ON 08/09/00 WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND COLONY TIRE SUGGESTED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING WITH TIRES AS THE LEFT REAR HAD THREE SPLITS AND HAD SEPARATED IN ONE PLACE. THE OTHERS SHOWED CRACKS. COLONY TIRE CALLED FIRESTONE TO SEE ABOUT CONSIDERATION FOR THE TIRES. AT THAT TIME HE WAS TOLD OF THE UPCOMING RECALL BUT THESE WERE NO A PART OF RECALL. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE WRITTEN THE BRIDGESTONEFIRESTONE CO., FORD MOTOR CO.CALLED CELLA FORD, ALSO COLONY TIRE HAS SENT THE TIRES (4) BACK TO FIRESTONE.ALL THIS TO NO AVAIL AS ALL THEY HAVE ON THEIR MIND IS THE RECALL. WHICH DOESN'T PAY FOR MY HAVING TO BUY FOUR NEW TIRES OR RUN THE RISK OF A FATAL ACCIDENT DRIVING IN 90+ DEGREE WEATHER. *AK (TIRESIZE: 225-70-15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225-70-15 )

BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES WERE ON MY NEW TRUCK AT TIME OF PURCHASE. I REPLACED THEM ON 09/20/97 BECAUSE THEY WERE BAD TIRES; THEY WOULD NOT HOLD AIR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAVE A PHOTOCOPY OF MY RECEIPT AND THE ORIGINAL TIRES IN MY GARAGE. WHEN I CONTACT BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A PHOTOCOPY RECEIPT. THE STORE CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE AN ORIGINAL RECEIPT. I FEEL THAT I AM ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT OF THESE TIRES BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER AND THE FACT THAT I COULD STILL HAVE THESE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT DON'T BECAUSE THEY WERE DANGEROUS. PLEASE RESPOND. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
