NHTSA Complaint #739520 — 1998 FORD EXPLORER

THESE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURES RECALL, HOWEVER, I RECENTLY HAD THE TIRES INSPECTED BY A FIRESTONE REPRESENTATIVE BECAUSE OF SOME CONCERNS WE HAD WITH THE INTEGRETY OF THE TIRES. FIRESTONE ACKNOWLEGED THAT ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES ARE SEPERATING WHERE THE TREAD IS GLUED TO THE BODY OF THE TIRE, JUST WHERE THESE TIRES ARE COMING APART AND KILLING PEOPLE. FIRESTONE WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES EVEN AFTER ADMITING THAT THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEM. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE AND I NEED SOME HELP. I'VE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH FIRESTONE AND FORD, ONLY TO HAVE WASTED MY TIME. THANKS. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235/75R/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75R/15 )
