A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AGO I PURCHASED 2 SETS OF FIRESTONE 721 RADIAL TIRES (TOTAL OF 8 TIRES). ONE SET FOR MY PICKUP AND THE OTHER SET FOR MY CADILLAC. AS OF THIS DATE ALL THESE TIRES WOULD HAVE LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THEM. I HAVE HAD ONE BLOW OUT ON MY PICKUP, TWO OF THESE TIRES WENT BAD (LARGE BUBBLES IN THEM - TREAD SEPARATING FROM BELTS) AND ONE TIRE ON MY CADILLAC BLEW OUT. THE BLOWOUT ON THE CADILLAC CAUSED IT TO BE DESTROYED BY FIRE. IF YOU WANT MORE DETAILS ON THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.( DOT NUMBER: VDHHF70 TIRE SIZE: 225X15 )
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
