2006 FORD TAURUS Tires Problems

ON JAN. 10 2014 I PURCHASED 2 NEW TIRES FROM LES SWAB HERE IN OROVILLE CA. IN OCT. 2015 I NOTICED A WOBBLE IN MY STEERING, TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES AND ASK THEM TO ROTATE THE TIRES AND CHECK FOR DEFECTS. WAS TOLD TIRES WERE OK BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, WENT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD I HAD A TIRE BAD TIRE SEPARATION, WENT BACK TO LES SWAB AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE. TODAY THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME I HAD ANOTHER TIRE SEPARATION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT IS EVIDENT TO ME THEY ARE SELLING DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

I HAD PURCHASED A SET OF BFGOODRICH PREMIUM TOURING TIRES FROM COSTCO. I HAVE HAD BLOWOUTS IN 4 OF 6 TIRES, ALL WITH AROUND 45-55000 MILES ON THEM. THE SIDEWALL HAD CRACKS THAT WENT FROM THE TREAD DOWN ACROSS THE SIDEWALL. I HAVE ONLY HAD 1 BLOWOUT SINCE I STARTED DRIVING SINCE 1978. BESIDES THESE TIRES. I PUT 70000 MILES ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES WITHOUT PROBLEMS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MANY TIRES HAVE BLOWN. BY THE WAY, THE 2 TIRES THAT DID NOT BLOW OUT HAD CRACKS FORMING ON THE SIDEWALL BY THE TREAD AS WELL. (THE REASON I HAD 6 IS BECAUSE 2 WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY) THE "TIRES PLUS" STORE I WENT TO DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE TIRES WERE DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING, BUT HE DID SAY THAT IT WAS NOT NORMAL. I JUST WANT TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO OTHERS. IT...

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING-LETTER FROM REGARDING A COMPLAINT ABOUT CONTINENTAL TIRES *TGW 2006 FORD TAURUS. THE CONSUMER STATED AS THE VEHICLE SAT IN HIS GARAGE, A HIGHLY VISIBLE BULGE WAS NOTICED ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. *JB

OUR FRONT LEFT TIRE LITERALLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR. IT LOOKS LIKE A BOMB HAD EXPLODED INSIDE IT. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE - THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN A TIRE. THE COMPANY IS CONTINENTAL AND THE TIRE SIZE IS P215.60R16 94T (FOR A MID SIZE CAR) AND ON THE LOWER SIDE IT HAS TOURING CONTACT AS. THIS IS A BRAND THAT WE HAVE NEVER PURCHASED BEFORE - IT WAS ON THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED AS A USED CAR (1 YEAR OLD). WE THANK GOD THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, CONSIDERING THE SPEED AND LOCATION IT HAPPENED. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE BEING ADVISED OF THIS. *TR THORNTON WEYMOUTH
