Read complaints for FIRESTONE FIREHAWK (Unknown)

I purchased my car in june 98 and before leaving the lot the service department had to replace both of the rear tires due to defects.they could not determine the exact problem.therefore the tires were replaced.since then i have had to replace the front tires in feb 2000.this was due to the tread seperation and extensive wear.at the same time i was told that the front brakes were bad and that i needed new brakes and rotors.the tires and brake job cost 481.93.now i had 2 flat tires on the same tire within 3 weeks of each other and now the back brakes need replacing.i feel that these repairs are due to defective parts.i have already taken my car back to ford for at least 6 manufacturer recalls.i do not feel safe driving this car.the car sensor light has been replaced and replaced but it still comes on all the time.from my resaerch on this component this could cause the airbags to engage without cause.between the recalls, tire, and the brakes this seems to me to be a very unsafe vechile.i was thinking that the problems were normal but after having all these recalls and now the recall on some of firestone tires i thought that i should let someone know of the problems that i've had with my car.( dot number: tire size: p20560r15 )

Problems started at 119miles, dealers either don't confirm problem or say it's normal for this car. Multiple repair attempts at 4 dealers. Severe vibration and pull at highway speeds are the tires (confired with my winter tires-no problem), klunking from front end when going over bumps, all dash warning lights come on during winter at idle-go out after restart or engine acceleration, front seats wobble side to side-dealer says normal for car-wan't present when new, pulsing front end shimmy on highway-not tire related-possible cv shaft issue-dealers stated npf, engine spark knocks under light loads-no change with different gas grades or brands-dealers says npf, headlamps go dim at idle-dealers says normal-not present when new, poor low beam visibility from headlamps, aluminum wheels are too porous-lose abnormal air amounts-dealer says npf. Most of these have been since new or started within 1st year of new- no dealers has yet "confirmed" problems when they are readily apparent to others. In shop for over 3 months total since new.

Fusebox:bought car in july 1999, had to have three recalls fixed, one of them was on the air bag sensor, we went and had one of the recalls corrected, the next week we were scheduled to have the remaining two finish, on wednesday of that week the air conditioner stopped working while we were driving home from work, we had the mechanic check it that friday when they fixed the air bag sensor, the mechanic said the fuse box was broken and needed to be replaced, he replaced the fuse box (free of charge) and we went on our way, then on 8/14/2000 as we were again driving home from work on the expressway at about 55 the air conditioner died again, we read through the car manual and found the correct fuses to the blower motor and a/c, we changed those fuses, that didn't fix the problem, we then changed the relays, (which were very hard to get replacements for), that didn' t fix it either, finally we took it to a ford dealer and had them chack it, they said there was a fuse in the front (which the owners manual said should only be changed by an authorized ford mechanic) that had blown and when it did it fused the fuse to the connector and that the entire fuse box would have to be replaced, this time at a cost of over $400.00 tires: we have just had to replace two firestone firehawk gta p205/60r15 90t m+s tires because the tread was coming away from the sidewall at the seem, it was so bad there were small flaps of the tread that stuck straight out like someone had peel a banana.( dot number: tire size: p205/60r15 )

Engine cooling- temperature runs on the high range of normal.engine - two bolts fell out of water pump pulley causing unknown vibration which in turn caused failure of serpentine belt which caused belt to fray into engine which in turn dislodged timing belt and caused oil light to come on.dealer not "user friendly" during repair process which drug out the repair for a week. Engine has not run in the same fashion since the incident even though two different dealers have addressed the problem.engine now stalls during initial start up almost causing engine to die entirely which has almost been the cause of several accidents.tires- uneven and unusual wear on rear tires causing tires to wear prematurely.windshield- unusal amount of chips perhaps caused by design and shape of windshield.ignition- when removing key ingintion stays stuck into the steering column causing buzzer to sound.did i mention that we will never buy a ford product again especially since we have only owned this car since december 1999.

Tire had split from the tread to the firewall on the outside, and had started to separate. We had replaced the tire on 6/17/2000 with a michelin brand because of the fact that firestone had discontinued this tire, the remaining three tires show signs of separation.the tires in question had a three year ,75,000 mile warranty which was not honored. As to the issue of the engine stalling out and clutch not engaging and kicking out of gear. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership on numurous occasions, with the dealership claiming nothing was wrong with the vehicle. With this in mind this vehicle has not been driven since 7/28/2000 due to safety concerns. The vehicle has continued to have this problem, and the problem has gotten worse, from any speed when deceleration begins, the vehicle has cut out causing steering to lock up. After the speed of 50 mph the gear kicks out at any given time. ( dot number: vdp21570r tire size: 21570r15 )

All of these components listed happens multiple times and at different levels of intensity.the car has been taken to two different ford dealers both have said problems are in our heads.i will give them credit for coming up with clever excuses, they blamed the vibration on the luggage rack, the lights dimming is a "ford thing"well this car is a little over a year old it has had 4 recalls.it seems that every month a new problem comes up with this vehicle (tiresize: 15)

Thefirestone firehawk tires, has had terrible road noise for the past 6,000 miles. Even though i had the tires rotated every 6,000 miles. Last night after the dealership put a newset of tires onfroma newcar, to prove to me that it was thetires. I am not happy! also, theinformed methati wouldneednewbrakes...okay, thatis possible. However, theyalso told me that i would need newrotors. Nothing that they could beturned...just that i need new ones.when i still have brake pads. How can that be? are they made of soft metal that they don't last? that ford counts that as a wearing problem, so the cost is on me?

Shortly after owning the car, i noticed that brakes seemed insufficient for the vehicle.i took it to the dealer a few times to get checked, but they denied any thing being wrong.while driving when the brakes are applied, the vehicle does not stop at a sufficient time.i also had to buy several tires since the purchase date, because the tires would get leaks by simple road debris such as glass and metal pieces.i reported my problems in person and by phone to the dealer i bought from, but they would not give me any information about the car's history.they only stated that all necessary changes were made in december the month before i bought the car.i also told them about the shifting in the steering wheel when driving, but they disregarded the complaint about the steering and the inappropriate stopping of the vehicle.

The problem is not bad rotors/pads, i had the dealer turn the rotors and the problem subsided for a while. Then a week later they returned.

This year, i purchased a new bass cat bass boat from pop's marine, toano, va. The trailer has a dual axle and came with five firestone firehawk p205/70r 14 93s ss10 m + s tires -- four on the ground and one in the spare position. In may, having put less than 200 miles on the trailer tires, i was in the act of returning to the dealer for the required 20 hour warranty check on the boat motor. I fueled my tow vehicle at the flying j truck stop at carmel church, va. And, since the trailer had not been on the road in several weeks, i checked the air pressure in all the tires. The tires were properly inflated per the instructions on the tire wall. Leaving the flying j, i headed south on interstate 95. Just pass the ashland, va. Exit, the right rear trailer tire simply disintegrated. There was the sound of an explosion and only a small bit of carcass remained attached to the wheel. The rest of the tire simply disappeared.

Firestone firehawk gt tire failed under normal driving conditions.tire tread separated from interior sidewall.tire was less than 2 years old and had logged fewer than 20,000 miles. Tire damage occurred on short trip (<5 miles) and driver recognized that the tire was damaged before driving the car again.accordingly, there was no accident or injury.

While returning from vacation, i was traveling north on hwy. 75 in howe, tx, at 70mph when i heard the tire begin making noise and then it blew out. The blowout caused me to swerve uncontrollably (90 degrees to the road 3 times, across both lanes) before regaining control and allowing me to get safely off of the highway. There were luckily no other cars in the immediate area at this instant. The tire tread had separated from the casing and shredded. Also in the car were my wife, 17 year old daughter, and my daughters friend. The tire caused damage in the wheel well/rear quarter panel and rocker panel area of the car as well as cracking the rear taillight lens and damaging the aluminum wheel.( dot number: vduujba227 tire size: p225-70r15 )

While driving the left rear tire locked up causing the rear of the car to break loose.inspection revealed ~1/8" of lateral movementin the left rear wheel/hub assembly.dealership determined that the left rear wheel bearing had failed.the failure caused destructive damage to both rear tires, the left rear tire has a significan flat spot wile the right rear has a bulge in the sidewall.dealership refused to replace the tires under warranty claiming that the problem was related to the firestone tire warranty despite the fact that the destruction of the tires was a direct result of the wheel bearing failure and not in any tire failure.

The tread from the left rear tire, which had about 12,000 miles on it, came off in the fast lane on the freeway at about 70 mph.traffic was fairly light and although we fishtailed a bit, i was able to pull off the freeway.the tires have a "rim saver" feature that allowed me to drive slowly on the remains of the tire.i have had three other failures with these tires, two of which were unexplainable.i had one additional blowout on the freeway at lower speed, but i don't know the cause of it.i spoke to firestone about these incidents and the assured me that these tires had no history of problems.at this point i'm afraid to keep driving on them. I have no faith that they will not come apart or blow out at unexpected times.whenever i drive over bumps on the road i'm afraid i have another flat.four flats in a year seems a bit excessive.when i read about firestone's problems with the atx tires, it sounded just like my problem.is this problem more widespread than is being reported?i would like these tires replaced by another manufacturer's tires.( dot number: tire size: 225/50/r16 )

I recently went to the firestone dealer in lake elsinore, ca to have my firestone tires inspected due to the recall.the service tech there looked at one of my tires and said their not recall tires so you're ok.i took my truck to another tire dealership and the told me that three of the four tires on my truck are ready to come apart.three of the four have increases in them, the firestone tech told me that is where the belt comes together and they will usually come apart if there are four creases.i called back and spoke to the firestone service manager again about my tires.he said since there they are not included in the recall the best he would do is prorate the rubber use and then charge me for the new tires at a prorated amount and of course charge me for balance and mounting.i do believe that firestone needs to broaden they're recall.i am now driving on dangerous tires, not only for the safety of myself but others on the road.( dot number: tire size: 50r15ltm/s )

The firestone tires were installed on our pickup at around 15,000 miles on the pickup itself, at 28,246 miles we went to have the tires rotated and rebalanced and the right front tire that came of would not balance. They took it apart and discovered the inner liner of the tire was completely coming apart and turning into powder. Firestone said it had been ran at low presure and that was the cause of the inner liner coming apart, and that it was not "adjustable" . The tires were never ran low and were checked along with the vehicle when it was serviced every 2,000 miles. I still have the "tire" and the rest from the same matched set, i removed them all at the same time as the problem was discovered! the tire can be mounted and inflated and will not loose pressure, with out any distortion, or any signs of a potental problem. If it wasn't for the pile of rubber from the inner liner inside the tire that kept shifting around throwing the tire balance mathine off it would have never caught. Or until the air inside escaped into the cord body causeing the caseing to seperate.it is clearly a "manufacturing defect" and because the rest of that set was from the same production run, we do not believe firestones explanation and did not feel safe with the rest of that set.

The right rear tire has a bubble on the sidewall. Firestone does not have available size to replace it and sent me home with it that way, which i thought rather careless. Furthermore, i have replace 2 tires, and nassar ford replaced one tire. In the short amount of time i have owned the car, i have had 5 flats. Needless to say i have no confidence driving and firestone has offered no viable solution.dt

I had the atx radial tires and they were replace with the firehawks by firestone.

I am extremely concened that i have not heard that the firestone problem extends to their fire hawk line of tires.i had three failures of these tires, all tread separations, within a one year period. After the first separation the faulty tire was replaced. After the second separation, if i remember correctly, all the tires in the production series were replaced. After the third separation i replaced all the tires with another brand. From my personal experience the problem with the fire hawks is just as potentially lethal as those currently under investigation and this needs to be addressed before more people are killed. By the way, my tires were notunderinflated and the suburban was not being driven with a unusually havy load.these tires were just defective.( dot number: tire size: p275/60r15 )

So far there are 2 tires on my van that have due to the fact that there is good tread all around the tires except for a spot about 3 inches long in the same place on both tires that has worn very thin and the tires separated and blew out.when i saw the first tires i was ready to dimiss it as normal until i inspected the other tires and found the right rear was identical to the front one and the other 2 seem to be doing the same thing.as they are only wearing in one spot i came to the conclusion that it has to be something wrong with the making of the tires themself.thank you very much.

I have had this vibration as far back as the original tires. I paid for a balance and alignment due to unusual tire wear. The ford dealership charged me $87 for the service. I was informed in writing that i had defective tires and would not be able to fix the vibration until i replaced the tire. Once i replaced the tires $339.96. I still had the vibration. I took the vehicle to the ford dealer and i was informed in writing that i had 2 defective tires. I took it back to the store that i purchased the tires from and ended up upgrading to a more expensive tire since the could not remedy the problem. (cost $67.52)i went back to the ford dealer and they rolled up 517 miles on my vehicle and informed me that i had a defect that could not be fixed. They showed me a service bulleting from ford that stated a procedure to follow and then stop even if the vibration was not eliminated. I contacted ford customer service and they asked me to return to the dealership for another try. Another 400-500 miles were rolled up on my car and the problem still exists. I contacted ford service again and they are sending me back to the dealership. What the hell is going on?if my tires fail or i have another failure, who is going to cover my costs and be liable.

I noted with the dealer on 1/2/09 with 24800 miles, that even before that the tires are making a thumping noice. It seems they are getting even louder. They have been rotated every 5000 miles by me and the dealer and seem to be wearing evenly. I am worried about what would happen at higher speeds?

Firehawk gta 03. These tires are the original factory issue on my 07chevy hhr. All 4 tires appear to have the same problem / defect. They are all cracking along the outside edge of the tread pattern. Where the flat surface of the tire meets the sidewalls. The cracks are hard to see at first, because they so closely follow the deepest indents of the treads. 2 of the 4 tires now have a slow leak. They are an accident waiting to happen! to date, no one wants to take responsibility for these defective tires. Chevy says "tires' are covered by manufacturer's warranty.firestone says they are not responsible for oem products!what a bunch of finger-pointers!these tires now have 43,100. Miles and have been rotated every 3-5 k along with each oil change.on another note, these tires handle poorly in med.to heavy rains. They will easily hydro-plane without due cause.

On two separate occasions (03/11/00 and 07/03/00) i was travelling at a speed in excess of 75 mph and heard a sudden snap coming from one of my tires.however, the sound was very much like the sound when something gets caught underneath the car momentarily while passing over it.the first occasion involved the left front tire, the second involved the right rear tire.on both occasions i was able to pull over safely to the side of the road.on each occasion i found the tire's tread separated from the rest of the tire, leaving the steel belt underneath totally exposed.both incidents involved the same model of firestone tire, the firehawk ss10.the affected tires remained completely inflated, so had i not pulled over to the side of the road after the initial snap, i wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong.i fear that if i had not pulled over immediately, i may have been involved in an accident when the rest of the tread separated from the tire, perhaps only a few miles down the road.i now have 3 new bridestone tires on my car and fear for my safety.( dot number: tire size: p215/60r14 )

I noticed about a week before the tire blewout that while we were iddling through the local walmart parking lot the vehicle rocked back and forth.about a week later the vehicle was parked in the garage and i noticed a blister on the left rear tire in the tread section.i checked the other tires and it appeared that two other tires looked and felt out of round.at that time i ordered over the internet from tirerack.com a complete set of wheels and tires (265/70r17).within the next couple of days the left rear tire blew out.this was the second set of firestone firehawks 31x10.50r15lt m/s on the vehicle.the first set was replaced at approximately 66,000 miles and seemed to profrom acceptable.the second set which was the problem set, had roughly 36,000 miles on them.in thinking back about the rocking motion at idle speed, this was first noticed many months ago.initially i thought the tires were out of balance and would have them re-balanced at either a firestone or expert tire store.the rocking motion at that time was hardly noticable, progressing at a very slow pace until this august.being aware of proper inflation and serviceing of tires both sets of the firestone firehawks were maintained at 35 psi (rated at 50 psi max.).since it is a four wheel drive vehicle alignment and tire rotation is at the very least done annually.( dot number: vd60 tire size: 31x10.50 )

Due to the recent recall of some of firestone tires i wanted to alert you to the fact that my firestone tires which are not part of the recall also experienced the same circumstance.i was driving on an interstate at about 70 miles per hour when the right rear tires tread seperated from the tire and caused the tire to deflate.i was able to pull to the roadside before a blowout or further incident.the tire has about a 36 inch long and 3 inch wide section where the tread is missing.the tire overall is about 8 inches wide.i also have a ford explorer with wildnerness at tires that were not made at the decater plant and thus not involved in the recall.although my firehawk tires had approximately 60,000 miles on them at the time of the incident i still feel this is not normal and the tire was defective.i have had other tires that ran until the tread was bald and the tread never seperated from the rest of the tire.due to the fact that a firestone tire not indicated in the recall had the same circumstances happen to it, i don't feel the problem with these tires is limited to the larger suv tires.i feel this needs to be investigated to insure other firestone tires are safe for thepeople who have them on their vehicles.my confidence in firestone tires is lost and i will be replacing the wilderness tires even though they didn't come from that particular plant.i still have the firehawk tire that had the tread come off if you would like a picture of it i can arrange that.the tires were made in 1995.they were purchased in 07-95 in wyoming.of the 5 years on the car 2 years were in wyo.

Recently, i have noticed that one of my tires is separating above the white letters in perfect bi-section of the mold outlets(the little rubber finger like thingies ha ha). To me this is odd. I was an aircraft mechanic for the navy and have never seen anything like this. As a couple of weeks have gone by the splitting has become worse and is starting on the other mold outlets. There is definitely something wrong with the integrity of the rubber composition on that tire for it to split or separate like that.

I purchased a used volvo with a virtually new set of firewhawk tires on it. After driving it for about 3 months, i noticed one of the front tires had developed a good sized bulge on the side wall. This was about a year ago. I was concerned and e-mailed the consumer division of firestone about the problem. I described the bulge and gave dimensions including diameter (approximately 2 inches) and the height of the buldge (about 1/2 inch). I asked if it was dangerous to continue driving on this tire and who was responsinble for replacement. I received no reply from firestone. Eventually the buldge ruptured while i was driving at about 65 mph on an expressway. Fortunatelly, the tire did not deflate all at once, allowing me to drive a little distance and pull off the road.i replaced the tire with the same brand and size. About 8 months later, i noticed a similar bulge on the sidewall of the rear tire. I replaced it immediately with another manufacturer's tire. The first defective tire was disposed by the shop that replaced it. However, i still have the other defective tire. After hearing the recent problems with firestone tires, i again contacted firestone. It took a few weeks, but this time, they did respond.

Not for sure if original tires. Approximately 6/32" oftread on the tires. They are rated traction "a". On wet roads they are extremely slippery. This complaint comes from experience after the street has washed off the top oil. What would be considered a "mild" stop, the tires will break loose and slide. On curves, the rear wheels will slide in the direction of the cyntriphical force. Upon acceleration from a stop sign in wet weather, the front wheels will spin with out much accelleration. This condition has been present with the car since it was purchased used in 1998. It appeares the "a" rating for traction in wet weather, has been misrepresented. I have three other vehicles in the household which i typically use "b" rated traction tires of another brand, and never have these problems. I have not replaced them, but will wait untill comments from this complaint. (tiresize: p195/60r15)( dot number:tire size: p195/60r15 )

We were travelling down a smooth, straight highway at 45mph when we heard a loud pop and noticed some vibration. We pulled over and noticed some irregularity in the sidewall of the left rear tire. It was not flat. I nursed it home and drove it to the firestone dealer the next day. They showed me a large gaping hole in the tread that i hadn't noticed.

Those original tires were old and cracked (but still had plenty of tread) so i did not think at that time the first failure had anything to do with manufacturer's defects. My wife and i are a little worried about the safety and reliability of these tires now. Have you received any other reports of failure for this model tire and should we be concerned?
