ON MARCH 21, 2004 IWAS TRAVELING FROM MIAMI TO ORLANDO WHEN ONE OF MY TRUCK TIRE BLEW THE TREAD OFF THE TIRE. AT THIS TIME I SAW A FHP AND STOP TO REPORT THE THE INCIDENT(REPORT # 02273824) THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENS WITH THIS TIRES, I STILL HAVE FOUR MORE INSTALL ON MY TRUCK AND I'M AFRAID THAT SOMETHING WORSE OCCOURS WITH THIS TIRES. *AK

WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MECHANIC INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A METAL BRAKE LINE. *JB

BRAKE HOOKUPS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *AK

FUEL INJECTORS WERE DEFECTIVE, AND THEY KEPT DISINTEGRADING. ALSO, HAD TO KEEP REPLACING THEM TWICE. ENGINE MISSED AND RAN ROUGHLY. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ALSO, DEALER STATED IT WAS BECAUSE OF FUEL CONSUMER WAS BURNING. *AK

ABS BRAKES ARE HESITANT WHEN DRIVING. ONCE BRAKES GRABBED, THEN LOCKED UP. HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER YET. *AK

THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD SEPERATION, THE FIRST OCCURED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I DIDNT THINK THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE TIRE AT THAT TIME, NOW THOUGH I FELT 2 FAILURES WERE TOO TO MANY, I CONTACTED FIRESTONE AND THEY MADE ME SEND THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO THEIR NASHVILLE TIRE CENTER FOR TESTING. I HAVE RECIEVED COMPENSATION FOR THE DAMMAGE AND PRO-RATED TIRE REPLACEMENT, BUT NOW FEEL THERE MAY BE OTHER UNSAFE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE ONE ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED AT A L;OCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WILLING TO ACCEPT THEM UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. I CURRENTLY HAVE A TIRE VIBRATION THAT MAY BE RELATED TO OUT-OF ROUND TIRES OR TIRE SEPERATION PROBLEMS, AS I HAVE HAD THEM RE-BALANCED AND ROTATED WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I BELIEVE THESE IS RELAVANCE TO THE SAME PLANT THAT MANUFACTURES THE CURRENT RECALLED TIRES AND MINE, BOTH IN DECATUR ILL.( DOT NUMBER: VDOR1WW484 TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. TRUCK NOT UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK
