2 Tire Blowout problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2000

This is the second vehicle that has had a blow out with the bridgestone turanza p215/65 r15 95t. I called a local bridgestone-firestone dealer and all they said was that it wasn't on the list. The first vehicle was a 1997 Dodge intrepid VIN 2b3hd46t8vh508561 and it had the passenger front tire blow. It did $1940. Worth of damage. All I'm asking is since it isn't on the "list" maybe it should be. The top of the tire seperated completely and damaged the front quarter panel along with the bumper, etc. Luckily there were no injuries or fatalities. I have since gone with a different tire and not bridgestone-firestone. (dot number: dnc508 ? tiresize: p215/65 r1).
