FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES Complaints

MY VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES AND I WAS ADVISED THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MANUFACTURED AT FIRESTONE'S DECATUR PLANT THEY ARE CONSIDERED "SAFE". THE RECENT GOVINDJEE REPORT STATES THAT THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES WERE EQUALLY PROBLEMATIC REGARDLESS OF THE PLANT IN WHICH THEY WERE MANUFACTURED IN, MEANING ALL PLANTS INCLUDING DECATUR , JOLIETTE, QUEBEC, & WILSON, NC. MY WIFE AND I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR VEHICLE AND THE LACK OF OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE THAT ONLY THE DECATUR TIRES ARE AT RISK. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR EITHER FORD OR FIRESTONE COME FORWARD AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL WILDERNESS ATS AND RESPONSIBLY RECALL & REPLACE. HOW MANY MORE DEATHS NEED TO OCCUR? IT APPEARS THAT THE GOVINDJEE REPORT RAISES ENOUGH QUESTION FOR THE NHTSA TO TAKE THE LEAD AND DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OF ALL WILDERNESS ATS. BASED ON THIS REPORT IT IS CLEAR TO ME I NEED TO BUY NON-FIRESTONE REPLACEMENTS. THE UNFORTUNATE SITUATION IS THAT THE UNSUSPECTING PURCHASER MUST PAY THE PRICE, WHEN FORD/FIRESTONE IS RESPONSIBLE.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
