Consumer Description

ONE OF ORIGINALLY INSTALLED 16 " FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES IN FORD EXPLORE BLEW OUT PREMATUARLY WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE SOUTH-BOUND OF I-95 AT CONNETICUT ON MAY 10, 1999. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT WAS INVOLVED AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. WE JUST REPLACED BROCKEN TIRE TO A NEW ONE AT NEARBY TIRE SHOP. I HAVE NOT REPORTED TO ANYONE THEN. THIS TIRE FAILURE WAS OBVIOUSLY PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE, WHICH IS THE SAME TO THE ONE CURRENTLY RECALLED ON FIRESTONE TIRES. I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR INSPECTION AT A FORD DEALER IN VIRGINIA IN LATE AUGUST, BUT THEY REJECTED TO REPLACE IT SINCE THIS IS 16 INCH TIRE AND ONLY 15 INCH TIRES WERE RECALLED THEN. I AM REPORTING THAT 16 INCH TIRES OF THIS TIYE ARE ALSO IN DANGER AS WE EXPERIENCED AND THOSE SHALL BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID FUTURE ACCIDENTS. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )
