NHTSA Complaint #565956 — 1999 FORD RANGER

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES. CONSUMER HAD TIRES REPLACED AT LOCAL FIRESTONE MERCHANT WITH BRIDGESTONE WILDERNESS AT 15 INCH TIRES. SOON AFTER, CONSUMER RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE STATING THAT THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES WERE ALSO INSUFFICIENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE BRIDGESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES THAT WERE REPLACED BY FIRESTONE BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE PART OF THE FIRESTONE RECALL. CONSUMER IS SEEKING AUTHORIZATION FROM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TIRES REPLACED. *TT
