The vehicle's tire had a blister and later the tire blew out.the dealer has been notified.*nlm
Initially felt a vibration in my steering wheel and accelerator pedal.was trying to decide from where the problem came when my left rear tire blew it's entire tread, which then wrapped around my axle, causing me to spin 360 degrees and off the highway and down a grassy slope, which, fortunately, was soft enough to stop me without making me flip over.damage:wheel rim and cover, wheel well liner ripped off, thereby bending it's rear bracket, which in turn pulled my fender in.tread wrapped around axle bent, but did not crimp, my hydraulic brake line.i managed to get the vehicle to the asphalt to change the tire, but it came to a halt because of the axle being wrapped.was unable to put on safety brake until i lifted the vehicle enough to unwrap the tread from the axle.have filed a complaint with firestone and expect them to pay for my damages.their policy is to demand the old tire back before any payout can be made and i intend to fight that, since the dealer has already disposed of the evidence.my feeling is that the dealer was either ignorant of that policy or negligent in telling me of it or that firestone instructed them not to tell customers of that requirement.i did tell the dealer that i intended to file a claim with firestone.dealer as much as admitted a faulty product since they did not charge me for a new tire.they did, however, charge me labor.rotation and courtesy check were performed by dealer on 20 july 2005 and they stated they had checked tire pressure.
My seventeen year old son was driving home from work on sunday, september 26, 2004 in his 1997 ford ranger pick-up.he was headed east on i-240 when his truck suddenly began to swerve out of control.he somehow managed to bring his vehicle to a stop safely, without a collision.after getting out to inspect his vehicle he found that his right rear tire was the cause.the tire, a firestone 14"with plenty of tread, had separated (ie. The tread had separated from the tire).the tire was still completely full of air even after this separation.the separation of the tread caused severe damage to the truck (approx. $1700.00).there was no collision and the tire did not blow out, the tread just peeled off for no apparent reason.
