I BOUGHT TIRE FROM FIRESTONE UNDER WARRANTY WHEN IT GETS BAD I TOOK IT TO THE STORE AND ASKED THEM FOR NEW TIRE, THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ONE EVEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEN I CALLED THE MAIN OFFICE THEY APOLOGIZE AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE STORE AND THEY WILL TAKER OF IT. AFTER THEY CONTACTED THE STORE CALLED ME AND IF ASKED ME TO TAKE TO BACK TO STORE AND GET NEW TIRE. FIVE MONTH'S LATER WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON HW 59, THE LAYER OF THE TIRE TORE OFF AND HIT THE CURB. IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CARS, BECAUSE I WAS ON LEFT LANE AND THE TIRE WAS LEFT SIDE. OTHER WAYS INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE WOULD BE LOST. *TR

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TIRE COMPANY. A DEFECTIVE TIRE BLEW ON MY SON'S FORD VAN. THE THREAD SEPARATED COMPLETELY. MY SON WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME ON THE FABRIC OF THE STILL INFLATED TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED FREE BY THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE TIRE. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW, THE FLYING RUBBER THREAD CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR WAS DESTROYED, FRONT BUMPER WAS LOOSENED PLUS OTHER MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE. DAMAGE WAS $281.36. I WENT TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER RIGHT AFTER THE INCIDENT BECAUSE I WASN'T COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE. I HAD THE DAMAGE REPAIRED QUICKLY BECAUSE DRIVING WITHOUT A SIDEVIEW MIRROR IS A HAZARD AND THE BUMPER WAS LOOSE WHICH IS DANGEROUS. AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED AND THE TIRE REPLACED, I SENT A LETTER TO FIRESTONE ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE DAMAGE. I DISCOVERED...
