Consumer Description

TRUCK WAS GIVING A BUMPY RIDE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WENT TO MY MECHANIC WHO EXAMINED THE TIRES UPON MY COMPLAINT. HE POINTED OUT ON BOTH FRONT TIRES WHERE THE TREAD WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE FROM THE SIDEWALL. TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ALL DUE TO IMPENDING DANGER. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES. CALLED FIRESTONE, THEY WOULD REPLACE WITH THE SAME TIRES THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH. CALLED FORD CO.IN DETROIT, CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE, FIRESTONE PROBLEM. I GOT THE RUN AROUND. REPLACED TIRES ON MY OWN AND HAVE SAVED THE FIRESTONE TIRES SHOULD THEY BE RECALLED FOR TREAD SEPARATION. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
