Consumer Description

I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT YES FIRESTONE TIRES CAUSED DEATHS BUT WHAT IF I BLOW A MICHELIN THE DESIGN OF THE EXPLORER CREATES THE DEADLY ROLLOVER NOT NECESSARILLY WHICH BRAND TIRE YOU HAVE I AM WORRIED ANY TIME WE DRIVE WHAT IF A TIRE BLOWS THERES A WHAT 50 % CHANCE WE DIE AND THAT IS MAKING ME WANT TO NEVER BUY THE FORD PRODUCT AGAIN...AND EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT IN THE NATION ABOUT NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FIRESTONE NAME MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO? WHY DOESNT ANYONE NOTICE THE PROBLEM IS FORDS NOT NECCESARILY FIRESTONES.
