1 Tire Bubble problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2002

The right rear tire has a bubble on the sidewall. Firestone does not have available size to replace it and sent me home with it that way, which I thought rather careless. Furthermore, I have replace 2 tires, and nassar Ford replaced one tire. In the short amount of time I have owned the car, I have had 5 flats. Needless to say I have no confidence driving and firestone has offered no viable solution. Dt.

2 Tire Bubble problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2001

I bought a new Focus 01 in October 00. Yesterday, I recognized on the right rear side a significant bubble. Moreover, I checked all other tires, and all three remaining tires had deformations at the threads. I took pictures of all the tires and can provide if required. I showed them to my coworkers, and they did comment that this was unusual for them too. After work, I brought my car to moontownship Ford dealer in pittsburgh, they just said except the bubble such formations could occur, they said they were usual indentations. Moreover, I also called in the morning my dealer (parkway east Ford). One service man said that they had a similar case with Focus right at hand. But I forgot to get the service man's name. The next time I called them, nobody knew of such an occurance, which really disturbed me. The bubble and the so called huge expected "indentations" for such a new car is really unexpected and I hope this information is helpful and enough for you. Hope you can help me with this issue.
