NHTSA Complaint #726904 — 1997 FORD RANGER

FIRESTONE OR FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE TIRES. MY TIRE BLOWOUT OCCURED ON A INTERSTATE JUNCTION (I-85N TO I-77N, IN CHARLOTTE, NC) AT HIGH SPEED (60MPH) AND SENT MY TRUCK INTO DITCH. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH AT THE TIME (SINCE TIRES DO BLOW OUT SOMETIMES) BUT AFTER THE NEWS REPORTS THAT FORD AND FIRESTONE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE FAULTY TIRES FOR OVER 6-8 YEARS, AND ONLY SEEM TO CARE IF FATATILITIES OCCUR, I WAS VERY DISPLEASED AND NOW WANT TO FILE A COMLAINT TO REPLACE ALL 5 FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO BUY NEW TIRES AND WILL WAIT FOR A RECALL OF SOME SORT TO REFUND MY MONEY. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I WALKED AWAY FROM THE VIOLENT BLOWOUT AND SUBSEQUENT CRASH, OTHERS WERE NOT AS LUCKY. THANK YOU, SCOTT PAGAN. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
