NHTSA Complaint #11024989 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

MY EXPLORER HAS 29K MILES ON IT AND THE HANKOOK TIRES ARE PEELING! I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SPOKE TO JULIO. WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT W THESE TIRES AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE! I TOLD HIM I'M NOT OKAY W DRIVING AROUND MY BABY AND SON KNOWING THE TIRES ARE PEELING. WE HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS! HE ASSURED ME THEY ARE SAFE AND I TOLD HIM I WANT IT IN WRITING . WELL THE MANAGER WAS TELLING HIM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IF I HIT SOMETHING AND THEY BURST THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE LIABLE! I OVERHEARD AND WENT OVER AND SHE TOOK ME OUTSIDE AND I STARTED RECORDING HER AND SHE SAID THEY ARE NOT SAFE THEY ARE WORN DOWN!! I THEN TOLD HER THEY SHOULDN'T BE! SHE SAID THEY ALL PERFORMANCE TIRES AND DO NOT LAST AS LONG! I TOLD HER I HAD A HOUR DRIVE BACK W MY 9 MONTH OLD SHE WAS NOT CONCERNED ! I HAVE SENSE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND NOTICED THE RECENT RECALL ON HANKOOK TIRES. MINE ARE VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 AND I CALLED HANKOOK AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT TXDOT TO COMPLAIN SO HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE RECALLED AS WELLL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE!!!
