PE-00-020; ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A FORD, RANGER 2000, FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE SIZE P245/75R16, DOT NUMBER W2701RF419. CONSUMER NOTED ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS AROUND THE SIDEWALL AND ACROSS THE TREAD AREA. *AK *SLC

CALLED THE NUMBER ABOVE LAST WEEK, STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FORM FROM NHTSA. FORD NOR FIRESTONE ARE WILLING TO DO ANTHING ABOUT REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THEY SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL.( DOT NUMBER: W2UU TIRE SIZE: 225/70R 15 )

WHILE TRAVELING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT, THE BLOWOUT PUSHED ME INTO THE CURB AND CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO OF HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE BLOWOUT. I HIT THE CURB AFTER THE BLOWOUT OCCURED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR REPAIRS UNDER COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE WITH A $250.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I BELIEVE ALL THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED AND I SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, AND I SHOULD BE RE-IMBURSED MY DEDUCTIBLE, ALONG WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY BEING RE-IMBURSED( DOT NUMBER: )

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT. OWNER TRIED TO TURN AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND DRIVER HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AND ROLLED OVER. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" ON THE REAR OF MY TRUCK. I HAD NOT HIT ANYTHING. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND DISCOVERED MY TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. UPON INSPECTING THE TIRE, I NOTICED A 1 INCH RUPTURE IN THE CENTER OF TIRE BETWEEN THE TREADS. I'M LUCKY THIS RUPTURE WAS NOT BIGGER. I HAVE UNDER 7000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND QUITE FRANKLY I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THEM. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THESE TIRES AS WELL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/70/15 )
