Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 6, 2007 MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A SET OF USED 265/75/R E FIRESTONE STEELTEX FROM MYERS TIRES IN MORGAN CITY ,LA. WE DID BUY THEM USED. THE OWNER TOLD US THAT THEY JUST TOOK THEM OFF OF A FORD PICKUP A FEW DAYS BEFORE. SO WE HAD HIM PUT THEM ON OUR 2000 GMC SIERA STEPSIDE PICKUP TRUCK. ON SATURDAY AUGUST 11,2007 MY HUSBAND AND I ALONG WITH MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS ON HWY 90 GOING TO HOUMA LA FROM PATTERSON LA THE TIRE THAT WAS ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TORE APART AND DESTROYED THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE BED OF OUR TRUCK AND WE COULD NOT OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR AND IT ALMOST FLIPED US ON THE HIGHWAY. WE LET THE OWNER KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AND HE IS NOT HELPING US WITH NOTHING. I ASKED HIM IF HE CAN PAY FOR DAMAGES DONE AND REPLACE THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND HE REFUSED. HE TOLD ME TO GET AN ATTORNEY. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT NOW I CAN BARLY GET MY 11 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK AND I AM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT. WE NOW HAVE 4000.00 IN DAMAGES TO OUR TRUCK.*JB
