TIRES WOULD SLIDE SLIGHTLY SOMETIMES WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A STOP EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS ESPECIALLY AFTER A LITTLE RAIN. I ASKED THE DEALER (FIRESTONE) ABOUT THIS AND THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRES BUT TOLD ME THAT IT PROBABLY WAS OIL ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE SAME SPOT UNTIL I WOULD ONLY GO 15 TO 20 MPH IN THAT AREA ON MY WAY TO WORK JUST IN CASE THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WOULD HAVE TO STOP. I BECAME UNEASY WHENEVER I HAD TO STOP. I COMPLAINED TO MY HUSBAND ALSO AND EVEN HE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY OIL ON THE STREET. YOU KNOW HOW NO ONE LISTENS TO A WOMAN, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS THOSE TIRES ALL THE TIME. THE FINAL TIME WAS ON A RAINY DAY, JULY 7, 1999, ON MY WAY TO WORK ON US HWY 78 EAST. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 TO 45 MPH ALONG WITH OTHER TRAFFIC WHEN I REALIZED I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE MOVEMENT OF MY TRUCK. IT SEEMED TO TAKE ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN. I TRIED TO STOP BY SLOWLY TOUCHING MY BRAKES BUT NOTHING STOPPED THE TRUCK. TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO EFFECT. THE TRUCK WAS HEADING ACROSS THE MEDIAN INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND I COULD NOT CONTROL ANYTHING. THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK THAT I HIT TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WHEN HE SAW MY TRUCK COMING AT HIM IT (MY TRUCK) WAS AIRBORNE. HE WAS TOWING A 40 FOOT TRAILER LOADED WITH EQUIPMENT AND MY TRUCK WAS WRECKED EVERYWHERE BUT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. (I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK).
