Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A NEW 2000 FORD LIMITED EXPLORER, EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES. WHEN THE PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TIRES SURFACED AND THE FACTS WERE REVEALED THAT BOTH FORD AND FIRESTONE WERE AWARE OF THE TIRE DEFECTS AND DIDN'T INITIATE ANY ACTION UNTIL THE ACCIDENTS STARTED OCCURING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND VENNEZUELA. THE FACT NEITHER COMPANY BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THEIR CUSTOMER'S AS SOON AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, I HAVE LOST CONFIEDENCE IN THE TIRE EVEN THOUGH THE P255/70R16 IS NOT INCLUDED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )
