Tire Tread/belt Problems of Ford Escape

235/55 r-17 99t this is one of a set of two tires I purchased in oct. 2021. The passenger side front tire had the same issue discovered a few weeks earlier. The steering wheel started to shake while driving. I took the vehicle to the shop who informed me the tread was separating like the passenger tire was separating a few weeks earlier. Again the tire was more worn on the inside versus the outside tread. The replace tire indicator was still in place. It seems very odd that both tires purchased and installed at the same time had the same issue with the tread separating. I have both tires in my garage if anyone wants to inspect them.

On may 7, 2007 the continental tire tread on the 2005, Ford, Escape left the wheel in a complete circle, nearly causing a potential accident. I consider this to be a catastrophic failure unlike any that I have known. I used the spare tire, and reported the situation to my Ford dealer. They, in turn, reported the failure to both , continental tire company and the Ford motor company. Since then the continental tire company offered to replace the tire by offering me $20. 00 off a replacement tire as the cost of fair wear and tear. At no time has continental expressed any interest in viewing the separated tire. In short, $20. 00 take it or leave it. On the other hand, the Ford dealer sold me a set of different tires at his cost just so that we could have some peace of mind while driving in the future.

My 2002 Ford Escape's tire (manufacturer continential tires) had seperated and had caused 2 other tires to wear improperly. Though all recommended maintenance was performed and documenation was provided to the dealership, Ford of vicksburg, I was told that "it wasn't Ford's problem or responsibility". I then contacted continential tires, who advised to take the vehicle to sears, 40 miles away from the town I lived in. After taking the vehicle to sears and inspected, continential tire advised sears "they would pay for half of the seperated tire and that was it. " I then spoke with the senior representative, carrie, of the tire manufacturer on the phone who advised that "the situation was Ford's responsibility because they have a bumper to bumper warranty. " I purchased my vehicle (new), December 2001. I conducted the recommended service as advised. I had approximately 22,000 miles in July, 2003 when the problem was discovered, which was shortly after I had an alignment performed at a Ford dealership in louisiana. I did nothing to cause the problem that occured and was given "the business" of "it's not my responsibility", so it became my problem on a vehicle "supposedly" under warranty. I can't believe the run around I received from Ford as well as continential tire regarding something that I had not caused or had any control of, after having the recommended service performed on my brand new vehicle. I will never own another Ford vehicle and will ensure the vehicle does not have tires manufactured by continential.
