FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES Complaints

WHILING DRIVING HOME AND TRAVING AT ABOUT 70 MPH DRIVER'S REAR SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT ITS WHOLE SIDEWALL. TIRES WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, SIZE P235/75R15, FIRST PART OF THE DOT NUMBER W2HL. HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER YET. *AK

P22575R15, WHILE HAVING TIRES SERVICED TECHNICIAN NOTICED TREAD SEPARATING . TIRES WERE NOT PART OF RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

MY TIRES APPEARED AS IF CATS HAD SCRATCHED THEM. THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES WERE PEELING OFF. I RETURNED THESE TIRES AND HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THESE WERE NOT THE TIRE IN QUESTION. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT GET ANY MONEY BACK. THE TIRES IN QUESTION WERE OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I, ALSO, JUST HAD A SET OF TWINS AND WANT ONLY THE SAFEST FOR MY CHILDREN. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED TO GET REINBURSEMENT? I DID THE RIGHT THING BY GETTING THOSE TIRES OFF OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNCUIPX518 TIRESIZE: 255-70-16)

WHILE TRAVELING AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THESE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURES RECALL, HOWEVER, I RECENTLY HAD THE TIRES INSPECTED BY A FIRESTONE REPRESENTATIVE BECAUSE OF SOME CONCERNS WE HAD WITH THE INTEGRETY OF THE TIRES. FIRESTONE ACKNOWLEGED THAT ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES ARE SEPERATING WHERE THE TREAD IS GLUED TO THE BODY OF THE TIRE, JUST WHERE THESE TIRES ARE COMING APART AND KILLING PEOPLE. FIRESTONE WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES EVEN AFTER ADMITING THAT THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEM. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE AND I NEED SOME HELP. I'VE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH FIRESTONE AND FORD, ONLY TO HAVE WASTED MY TIME. THANKS. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235/75R/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75R/15 )

THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS AN "OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE". THE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS SENT 10/26/00. AS OF 1-16-01, BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE HAS NOT REFUNDED THE COST OF THE TIRES. NEITHER HAS THE COMPANY BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO WHEN THE REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE RENDERED. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235-75-15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235-75-15 )

I AM UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER MY FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD A FLAT LAST WEEK AND THE TIRE WAS ALMOST OFF THE RIM JUST FROM THE FLAT! DO I NEED TO REPLACE JUST THE SPARE OR ALL 5 TIRES? APPARENTLY, MY TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN A TN PLANT BUT NONETHELESS, FIRESTONE AND FORD COMBINED DO NOT INSTILL ANY CONFIDENCE. THANKS FOR GETTING BACK WITH ME. YOU MAY EMAIL ME IF IT IS MORE EXPEDITIOUS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2HL TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO BE ON THE ROAD IN ALL THE SOUTHERN STATES 6 DAYS A WEEK, IN HOT INTERSTATE TRAVEL CONDITIONS. ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN THE WILSON NC PLANT, WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN BY NUMEROUS INVESTIGATIONS THAT THESE TIRES HAVE CAUSED MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS BY TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. I MUST TELL YOU THAT I FEEL VERY "UNSAFE" AND UNEASY EVERY TIME I GET IN MY AUTOMOBILE. THIS IS A VERY UNEASY FEELING. I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE TIRES AND THE SPARE, WITH ANOTHER TIRE FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. I FEEL THIS COST SHOULD BE COVERED BY FIRESTONE, SINCE THEY MADE THE FAULTY TIRES IN THE FIRST PLACE.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
