Four problems related to tire have been reported for the 2000 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was not contacted to the recall on my firestone tires on my 2000 Ford explorer, until last week, and took it upon myself to, at my expense, and replaced said tires, with another, more trusted and safer brand of tire. Now after 6 years. I receive a notice from firestone about my spare, but with the condition that I drive 30 miles, and have the 1 tire replaced with another firestone tire. Firestone refused to replace my original 4 tires, with compensation, and now refuses to replace my spare with a tire that I am comfortable with. . . . . . . . Not a firestone! I feel they should compensate me my $350, original, as well as pay for any tire I choose as my spare. . . . . Which they refuse to do!!!!.
2000 Ford explorer turned over four times. Consumer would like some help in this matter. He stated that no one has helped him with trying to have action taken against Ford. Information taken from previous complaint. The tire detached from the vehicle.
While driving 70 mph, the consumer was forced off the road. The driver regained control while on the grass siding until the left front tire detached from the truck. This caused the truck to roll over 4 times. Please identify if air bags deployed and if seat belts performed as designed. The drivers side front tire moved from the rim suddenly causing an accident (tire information not given).
While driving on the freeway, consumer experienced a horrendous blowout, right rear (firestone wilderness at p255/70r16) tire exploded, forcing vehicle out of control and almost causing a major collision.
