I LEASED THIS 99 RANGER 4X4 LAST MAY IN ORDER TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY SON TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL, FOOTBALL, & HOME AGAIN. NOW THIS RECALL! I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FIRESTONE STATING THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SHOULD BE SAFE! SHOULD BE! I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A COMPLETE RECALL SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME CAN STOP WORRYING IF OUR CHILD WILL COME HOME OR WILL HE/SHE BE THE NEXT FATALITY. PLEASE DON'T LET MORE PEOPLE DIE BEFORE FIRESTONE RECALLS ALL THEIR WILDERNESS BRAND TIRES! FORD NOR FIRESTONE ARE ABLE TO BRING BACK THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY DIED, PLEASE STEP IN NOW!! A CONCERNED AND ANGRY MOTHER - ASK THE CEO'S OF THESE COMPANIES - WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IF IT WERE THEIR SON/DAUGHTER THAT HAD DIED BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN THE GOOD OLD DOLLAR VERSES HUMAN LIFE!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 )
