COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION OCCURRED ON THIS TIRE ON THE MORNING OF 10/31/00 AT 5:30AM WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SW FWY IN HOUSTON. THE ROAD WAY IS VERY SMOOTH AND LEVEL. IT WAS DRY AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. THE TIRE DID NOT SOUND LIKE A TYPICAL BLOWOUT. I FELT IT RATHER THAN HEARD IT BUT THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY COMPROMISED. THE VEHICLE SWERVED BUT I REGAINED CONTROL, SLOWED AS QUICLKY AS POSSIBLE AND PULLED OVER. THE TREAD IS IN ONE SEPARATE PIECE AND THE CARCAS IS TORN, FRAYED, ETC.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 02-6555 TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)

WHILE DRIVING THE SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT AND THE TREAD SEPARATED (FIRESTONE WILDERNESS 255-70-16), CONSUMER WANTS THE TIRES REPLACED. NLM

UPON STARTUP OF MOTOR, WILL NOT IDLE OR WILL DIE COMPLETELY WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION OR WHEN RELEASING ACCELERATOR WHEN MAKING A TURN, CAUSING MOTOR TO DIE AND LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THROTTLE BODY LINKAGE (BUTTERFLY) STICKING AND IT HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OF FRIENDS TRUCKS AS WELL. FIX IS NEW THROTTLE BODY PART @ $300., NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WIDESPREAD AND SHOULD BE RETRO DONE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY MANUFACTURER.*AK

PE00 020; CONSUMER NOTICED STRESS MARKS AND BUBBLES ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. HE HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE, AND THE ATTENDANT LOOKED AT TIRES, AND TOLD HIM THE TIRES WERE OKAY. FIRESTONE, WILDERNESS#AT 25570R16. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.*AK

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND FELT A SUDDEN JERK IN STEERING AND VIBRATION. I EXITED TO THE SOULDER AS FAST AS TRAFFIC WOULD ALLOW. WE WE SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE TIRE WAS IN TWO PIECES, THE SIDEWALL WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE TREAD. THE TIRE DID HAVE A NAIL IN IT WHICH WAS SO SNUGLY IN THE TIRE THAT YOU COULD NOT PUSH IT OUT BY HAND. THIS TIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN TWO PIECES! (DOT NUMBER: VNCU TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)

THE ABS TOOK CONTROL DURING NORMAL BRAKING BUT WITH LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. NLM

MIRROR BACKING ( SILVER) FALLS OFF THIS WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR REPAIR

EVIDENT SHOULDER CRACKING ON TWO (2) TIRES. REPLACED ALL TIRES. *AK (DOT NUMBER: V2CU TIRESIZE: 255/70/R16)

VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES (255/70R16), UPON INSPECTION ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CRACKED TO THE STEEL, TIRES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL NOTICE AND CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES. NLM

AT 3000 MILES THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED DUE TO A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. AT 11,000 MILES THERE WAS A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT 65 MPH WITH THE VECHILE UNDER LOAD - FORD COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND HAD NO FIX. AT 12,500 MILES THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED RESULTING IN THE VECHILE STALLING AT STOPS. THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED. THIS REDUCED THE VIBRATION BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE IT. AGAIN FORD TRIED SEVERAL TIMES BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AT 21,000 MILES THE VECHILE LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD ONLY MOVE BY REVING THE ENGINE (LIKE SEVERE CLUTCH SLIPPAGE ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). FORD IS PRESENTLY INVESTIGATING. BOTH FAILURES COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE ACCIDENTS IF THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO ME TO BE IN THE COMPUTER CONSTROL SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN POSSIBLY THE SECOND FAILRE OF THE TRANSMISSION.

ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED RESULTING IN ACCIDENT; ON DRY PAVEMENT, ABS TOOK BRAKING CONTROL BUT DID NOT APPLY BRAKING ENERGY TO THE BRAKES (ONLY SLIGHT BRAKING) DESPITE STANDING ON BRAKE PEDAL; ABS LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME; AFTER ACCIDENT SAME PROBLEM (ABS IN CONTROL, NO LIGHT, NO BRAKING) BUT AFTER REPEATED HARD HITS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON DISENGAGING THE ABS SYSTEM, ALLOWING NORMAL BRAKING; PROBLEM REPEATED ONCE LATER IN DAY; NEXT DAY WHEN TAKING VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER PROBLEM WOULD NOT REPEAT; HAD THREE COMPUTER ABS CODES WHICH THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE WITH FORD HOTLINE; THEY CLEARED CODES; PROBLEM WOULD NOT REPEAT; CHARGED ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT REPEATS; HAVE SENT YOU A COPY OF MY LETTER TO FORD.

AFTER NOTICING AN OIL LEAK, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS WARPED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY EXPEDITION HAS ONLY 12,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE FORD HAS ISSUED TECHNICAL BULLETINS REGARDING CYLINDER HEAD LEAKS AND REPLACING THE HEAD GASKET ON THE FORD EXPEDITION. THERE MAY BE MORE EXPEDITIONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE.

ON A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION ARE FIRESTONE, WILDERNESS AT TIRES. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN PEOPLE INDICATED THAT LEFT REAR TIRE WAS SPLITTING ON THE SIDEWALL WHERE TREAD MET THE CASING. TOOK TO FIRESTONE RETAILER & MECHANIC REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE DUE TO NOT BEING ON RECALL. HAVE NOT EXCHANGE THE TIRE. TIRE SIZE IS #16*AK

AFTER BEING PREVIOUSLY ASSURED THROUGH PHONE CALLS TO FORD AND THROUGH A LETTER FROM FORD AND FIRESTONE THAT 17 INCH WILDERNESS AT'S WERE NOT RECALLED WE FELT VERY CONFIDENT. HOWEVER, AFTER THE BLOWOUT ON OCTOBER 04,2000 I AM CONVINCED THE 17 INCH TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED ALSO. THE TIRE HAS OBVIOUS TREAD SEPARATION DAMAGE & FORTURNATELY, WE WERE NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I AM CONVINCED IF WE WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE SUV WOULD HAVE ROLLED OR FLIPPED, CERTAINLY INJURING OR POSSIBLITY KILLING MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY. THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES CERTAINLY HAVE A PROBLEM & THAT PROBLEMS IS NOT LIMITED TO THE 15 INCH TIRES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL 16 & 17 INCH TIRES BEFORE LIVES ARE TAKEN!! (TIRESIZE: 2 R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2 R17 )

ALL FOUR TIRES WERE FOUND TO BE "CRACKED" ALONG THE TREAD/SIDEWALL AT 11,500 MILES. LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR. WHILE AT THE CROWN FORD DEALERSHIP EARLIER THAT DAY I HAD THEM CHECK MY TIRES AND THEY SENT ME TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER, THE SERVICE MANAGE CHECKED OTHER EXPEDITIONS IN THE SHOP AND FOUND SIMULAR CRACKS ON AT LEAST ONE MORE EXPEDITION IN THE SHOP. I REALIZE THE 16" TIRES ARE NOT ON THE RECALL PROGRAM. HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THE PROBLEM BEGINS AND ENDS WITH ONLY 15" TIRES. I HAVE SENT COMPLAINTS VIA E-MAIL TO FORD AND FIRESTONE AND HAVE RECEIVED THEIR STANDARD REPLIES REF. THE RECALL. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN FIRESTONE AND DESIRE ANOTHNER BRAND OF TIRE. PLEASE HELP. THANKS (TIRESIZE: 25570R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 25570R16 )

I WAS GETTING READY TO BACK UP AND THROTTLE ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. TRUCK PROCEEDED ABOUT 70 FEET BEFORE CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD BOTH FEET ON BRAKE LEAVING SKID MARKS FROM FRONT TIRES ON PAVEMENT.

FIRESTONE NOTIFIED, AND WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE TIRES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. *AK ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE SHOWN SIGN OF CRACKING ALONG THE TREAD. FIRESTONE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *YH

REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEWOUT...SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT THEN THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED ONTO THE RIM,II COASTED TO A STOP. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FIRESTONE DEALER, ASKED THE TECHNICIAN WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR ON A TIRE WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. HE SAID HE COULDN'T TELL, BUT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE RUPTURE HE DIDN'T THINK I RAN OVER ANYTHING. HE SAID I WAS "LUCKY TO HAVE FIRESTONE TIRES BECAUSE THE RUPTURE WAS SO CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALL ON A CHEAPER TIRE IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. RIGHT NOW I DONT FEEL SO LUCKY TO OWN FIRESTONE TIRES. SHOULD I REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND? THANK YOU. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2CUIRD019 TIRESIZE: P255-70R16)

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING AND STILL NOT FIXED. THANK GOD MY TIRES HAVE NOT BLOWN OUT. *AK

I TOOK THE TIRE INTO A FIRESTONE DEALER DUE TO A SLOW LEAK, THEY CHECKED THE TIRE, DISMOUNTED IT AND AFTER REASSEMBLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE. THE TIRE CONTINUED TO EXIBIT A SLOW LEAK RATE OF ABOUT 10 LB IN 2 WEEKS. DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES IN GENERAL I REPLACED ALL OF THEM. THEY ALL EXIBIT TREAD SEPERATION RIDGES IN THE SIDEWALLS. I HAD FIRESTONE TIRES IN 1974 AND AFTER A TOTAL OF 19 TIRES 12 PLUS THE ORIGINAL 5 I WENT TO BIAS PLY THEY WERE L 78 R 15 C RANGE TIRES ALSO. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2T6IRE149 TIRESIZE: P265/70R17)

TREAD SEPARATION WITH 4-5 INCH BREAK AND COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF TIRE. THIS COMPLETE TIRE FALILURE COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS I HAD BEEN DRIVING 70 MPH. THE TREAD SEPARATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE AND TORE THROUGH TO THE INSIDE WITH THE 4-5 INCH SLIT COMPLETELY THROUGH. I AM FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT BLOW OUT AT THE HIGH SPEED DRIVING. WHEN I SAW HOW THE TIRE FAILED, I ASKED FIRESTONE TO REPLACE THEM BUT THEY REFUSED AND SAID THAT ONLY 15 INCH TIRES WERE BEING REPLACED. WELL, THIS TIRE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE. I BECAME SO CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY THAT I HAVE NOW REPLACED THEM WITH MICHELIN TIRES MYSELF AND HAVE THE FIRESTONE TIRES IN MY GARAGE WAITING ON THE NHTSA TO FORCE FIRESTONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBLE ACTION TO REIMBURSE ME FOR REPLACING THESE DANGEROUS TIRES. IT IS NOW NOT ONLY THE 15 INCH, BUT ALSO THE 16 FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES THAT ARE FAILING. HELP US THE INNOCENT PUBLIC.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2CU TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)

FIRESTONE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING TIRES BE REPLACED. *SLC

THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE DO NOT HAVE A HEAT RESISTANCE RATING ON THEM. I CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THERE ARE NO RATINGS. I WANT TO KNOW IF THE RATING IS REQUIRED BY LAW . I WANT TO KNOW ,IF THE RATING IS REQUIRED, DO I HAVE RECOURSE. IF THE TIRES ARE ILLEGAL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE HEAT RATING, CAN I HAVE FORD OR FIRESTONE REPLACE THE TIRES? *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/70R16 )

TIRE RUBBER IS SPLITTING IN THE AREA WHERE THE TIRE AND WHEEL MEET LARGEST SPLIT IS APPX. 6 INCHES LONG AND APPX 1/4 INCH WIDE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/70/16 )

ALL FOUR TIRES ARE DRY ROTTING ON THE TREAD AND FORD AND GENERAL WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES AT THERE COST. SINCE ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE TIRE. ATTACHED IS AN EMAIL I SENT TO GENERAL TIRE AND FORD, NEITHER OF WHICH OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN POINT THE FINGER AT EACH OTHER. EMAIL: I OWN A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION WITH GRABBER AW 255-R70-16 TIRES. IN JANUARY MY WIFE BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO FORD FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND POINTED OUT UNUSUAL WARE ON THE TIRES. FORD SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I LET IT GO. BECAUSE OF ALL THE FIRESTONE ISSUES I DECIDED TO INSPECT MY TIRES IN AUGUST, AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY APPEAR TO BE DRY ROTTING ON THE OUTER TREADS ON ALL FOUR TIRES. I CALLED YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO SEARS AND HAVE THEM INSPECT MY TIRES. I DID THIS AND THE YOUNG MAN WHO HANDLES THE REGISTER MADE A TWO MINUTE INSPECTION OF MY TIRES AND SAID THE DRY ROTTING WAS NOT SEVERE AND NOT EFFECTING THE TIRE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255-R70-16 )

PE00020 ; TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH TIRE ON THE PASSENGER'S FRONT SIDE SPLIT RIGHT DOWN TO TREAD. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK.

PLEASE LIST TIRE SIZE AND DOT #.*AK THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED ON 3 OF THE 4 FIRESTONE 16 IN TIRES. *YH

TIRES SHOW CRACKS ALONG THE TREAD, JUST AS THE RECALLED TIRES FOR FIRESTONE DID BEFORE THEY BLEW OUT, OR HAD TREAD FAILURE. MY TIRES ARE NOT IN THE WARNING, OR RECALL, SO FIRESTONE WON'T REPLACE THEM. SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM WORK, AND I TRAVEL THE FREEWAY 70 MILES PER DAY, TREAD FAILURE WILL HAPPEN SOON IF NOT REPLACED.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/70 R17 )

I OWN A SET OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES; SIZE 255/70R/16 109S M/S. I KNOW THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LATEST RECALL, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE DOING THE SAME AS THE 15" TIRES. I HAD THEM INSPECTED AT FIRESTONE AND THEY OBSERVED THE SAME THING. THEY, FIRESTONE DISTRIBUTOR, SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THEM IMMEDIATELY, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE SAME TIRE WHICH WILL BRING THE SAME RESULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED A SET OF MICHELIN LTX M&S'S. MY TIRES ARE ALOT WORSE THAN I EXPECTED AFTER HAVING THEM REMOVED AND BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM ON BOTH SIDES. I ALWAYS KEEP ALL OF MY VEHICLES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, INCLUDING THE PROPER TIRE INFLATION.( DOT NUMBER: VCLU TIRE SIZE: 255/70R/16 )

IN LESS THAN 14 MONTHS, I HAD 2 FLATS WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, ONCE ON A GRAVEL ROAD, AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD EXPECT AT TIRES TO HOLD UP BETTER THAN THIS. THE TIRES DID NOT SEPERATE AS THE RECALLED ONES HAVE, BUT THEY JUST GAVE OUT/LOST AIR. INTERESTINGLY, A FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT THE SAME CAR AT THE SAME TIME, AND HE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED 2 FLATS IN THE SAME TIME. SINCE THESE TIRES ARE LABELED "ALL TERAIN" I WOULD EXPECT THEM TO HOLD UP BETTER, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR FLAT GRAVEL ROAD AT MODERATE SPEEDS. I FEEL THESE TIRES SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST ALSO. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265170R17 )
