NHTSA Complaint #10745640 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

TUESDAY JULY 29 2015 MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FOCUS SE IN WILTON MAINE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 50MPH... WITH NO WARNING THE LEFT REAR CONTINENTAL TIRE BLEW OUT THE SIDEWALL WITH 2700 MILES IN IT. HE DID NOT HIT ANY OOTHOLE OR ANYTHING ELSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES AND THANK GOD HE KEPT CONTROL TO PULL OVER. FORD DENIED ME HELP . INSISTING HE RAN SUMTHING OVER EVEN AFTER AN APPEAL. WE FEEL VERY UNSAFE . AFTER PRICING NEW TIRES IT WILL TAKE ME SUM TIME TO REPLACE ALL 4 AND A RIM I FEEL FORD AND CONTINENTAL SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM OR WILL THEY WAIT TILL WE GET KILLED FROM THESE HAZARDOUS TIRES? I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH I GO 1 MILE TO WORK EACH DAY NOT FAR THANKFULLY. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD MOTOR AND CONTINENTAL TIRE FOR PROVIDING UNSAFE AND IN MY OPINION DEFECTIVE TIRES.THIS BLIWOUT ALSO DAMAGED MY RIM WHICH WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION .
