Consumer Description

THE TIRE FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL. THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED AND THE COMPLETE TIRE WAS SHREDDED. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY ASSIGNED AN INCIDENT NUMBER OF 99294608 AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE GMC WARRANTY AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER. THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TIRE FAILURE WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD AND NOT A DEFECTIVE TIRE, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS ROAD HAZARD OCCURENCE. THE TIRE DISINTEGRATED DUE TO A HIGH SPEED BLOW-OUT. THE TIRE DOT NUMBER BEGINS WITH W2 AND FIRESTONE KEPT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AFTER I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265R7016 )
