MY VEHICLE, A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS LE P265 7OR/16, AND WAS PART OF THE RECALL AS SEEN ON THE FIRESTONE SETTLEMENT WEBSITE, WHICH ALSO INCLUDED A LIST OF AFFECTED TIRES TO NHTSA PE00-020. AS STATED ON THE LEGAL NOTICE, "ALTHOUGH FIRESTONE'S RECALL AND REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS WERE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE SETTLEMENT, IF A MEMBER OF THE CLASS HAS NOT REPLACED, RECALLED OR REPLACEMENT TIRES THAT ARE STILL IN USE ON HIS OR HER VEHICLE, FIRESTONE WILL REPLACE THOSE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGE IF THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A FIRESTONE TIRE SERVICE CENTER." WENT TO A FIRESTONE TIRE SERVICE CENTER AND THE STORE MANAGER (ALFONSO) SAID THAT HE "COULD NOT REPLACE" THE TIRES BECAUSE HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL NOTICE, TO THAT PARTICULAR TIRE. SPOKE TO A DIFFERENT MANAGER (DOUG) AND ITS SUPERVISOR (SANDY) AND BOTH OF WHOM ARE UNAWARE OF THE RECALL SITUATION. RECOMMENDED TO CALL 866-345-0360. SHE ALSO TOOK MY INFORMATION DOWN IN ORDER TO RELAY IT TO SOMEONE ELSE IN THE COMPANY FOR CALL BACK. I CALLED THE NUMBER SHE GAVE ME AND RECEIVED RECORDINGS THAT DETAIL WHAT THE SETTLEMENT WEB SITE DESCRIBE. I WOULD LIKE FIRESTONE TO ABIDE BY THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *LA

OIL CONSUMPTION, STEERING COLUMN, SIDE DOOR PANELS, REAR-END, SEATS CRACKING, FRONT POPPING NOISE, STEERS TO RIGHT CONSTANTLY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2001. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY HERE IN N.C. AND ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION THAT THEY HAVE TRADED BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY JUST KEPT TELLING US IT IS WITHIN MANUFACTURE LIMITS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE OIL PROBLEM BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. ALSO THE STEERING HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN TWICE BECAUSE OF ITS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANELS ARE STILL NOT FIXED AFTER 2 TRIES. THE REAR-END HAS BEEN WORKED ON 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, THE STEERING WHEEL STILL SCRUBS WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS STARTING TO CRACK. THE CONSUMER PEOPLE IN RALEIGH WILL NOT HELP US AFTER WE FILLED THE COMPLAINT, THEY WROTE US AND TOLD US TO HIRE A LAWYER AND THE MANUFACTURE ONLY OFFERED US A $1000.00 OWNER/LOYALTY CERTIFICATE TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE. WHAT IS OUR NEXT STEP WITHOUT HIRING AN ATTORNEY? *JB
