On two seperate occasions within the last two years, I have had two firestone tires cause damage to my vehicle via complete blow out and seperation. I am one of the fortunate ones that are hear to tell of my near catastrophes involving firestone tires. Farmer insurance repaired my vehicle the first time and sent the blown tire ( what was left ) to firestone and a letter was sent to farmers indicating that low tire pressure was the cause. The second tire was seperated in March of 02 and once again damaged my vehicle. Once again, I received the responce back. It was the same old story. Improper air pressure. My vehicle is driven an average of 700 miles per week. My tires are maintained by flyin j truck centers and my air pressure is documented frequently as required. I am under the belief that insufficient air pressure is the standard answer given by firestone to neglect compensation for damages which occur by their faulty tires. This trend is very alarming and I am hoping that your department can get involved into a resolution. I am very disturbed because first of all, firestone is able to inspect their own tires with no independant agency overseeing the process. Also having a paralegal on staff to sign the documents so the general public is thwarted from responding. I will be happy to forward via fax, all documentation regarding this matter. I have contacted all agencies including, fox news, nevada attorney general, private council, senators harry reid and john ensign, and the u. S. Dept. Of transportation. I am not going to stop my campaign until firestone stands up and takes the responcibility for the damages due to faulty workmanship of their tires. I believe firestone intends to see if this issue gets swept under the carpet. Please advise me of your receipt of this complaint and a fax number where I can forward any correspondence. Thank you for your attention in this matter and I will wait to hear back.

This vehicle has experienced two (2) sudden and unexpected tire blowouts at high speed. The tires have been well maintained and had proper inflation at the time of failure. The most recent failure occurred with the right front tire at 70 mph just as I was approaching a bridge which nearly caused me to impact bridge abuttment/railing. Blown tire was inspected by firestone dealer and dealer suspects tread seperation. I have kept tire for future inspections. Over the last 15 years I have driven approx. 40,000 miles per year on 16 inch non-firestone light truck tires and I have never experienced a blow-out of a tire as I have with these tires.

The tires have blown while driving on highways. The clutch problem is a recurring one. 3 to 4 times a day the clutch pedal stays at the bottom of the travel distance or only comes half-way back up.

The tire blew out and the blow out was located at the inside sidewall, there was absolutely no holes that could be found. We brought the tire into firestone and was told that they would find a hole because these tires don't just blow. I was also told on the phone that I was very lucky that I had such a heavy duty vehicle, otherwise the vehicle would have rolled. Just appalling to hear something like that from a person that works at the firestone store. Especially because there is recalls happening now. We asked if this particular tire was being recalled, but was told "no". We ended up buying another tire and they prorated the rate. (tiresize: 26575r16)( dot number: tire size: 26575r16 ).

We changed the tire took it in and they said they are not on a recall even through they clearly had the white ring all around the tire where it had come apart. We replaced the tires with cooper tires. We still have the tires. Goodyear inspected and agreed it was due to poor manufacturing. On the warranty problems we contacted the manufacture arbitration board. They stated since we use the truck for business we can not have the truck replaced. No where in any of my documentation states that. If this were so we would not have bought the truck. The dealership knew we used the truck for business. The business consist of a handyman business. The most we do to the truck is put on miles. (dot number: vnw81xl tiresize: 265 75r16).
