general problems of the 2000 Ford Taurus

2 months ago advised by walmart that tires were dry rotting. 3 weeks ago took car in to mechanic and was advised tire was separating and that all 4 tires needed replacing due to age and dry rot. Went back to sam's club because I still had about 40% left on my warranty. They only would cover the one separating and refused to do anything about the other 3 tires. Today, driving down the freeway, the tread peeled off the tire damaging my car but luckily no accident. Also found out the tire was manufactured over one year before I purchased it. Please crack down on retailers selling old tires and not honoring warrantes and telling people to drive on dangerous tires. I have pictures of the tire.

Excessive tire wear, tread separation, poor handling, vibration.

Front tires purchased at walmart p215 60 16 douglas xtratrac. With less than 10000 miles started shaking and vibrating in curves and to a stop, vibrates very bad at 65 miles per hour. I had walmart look at them for a broken belt. They balanced them and said that was the problem. I drove the car home ,the problem was worse. I gave a two week trial they just got worse. I went back to them and they said there was no problem. Not being able to drive the car in this condition I had to purchase two new tires,(not douglas) I now have uniroyals, the problem is gone. I have the old tires, I want to have them looked at by someone but don't know where to take them. If of government has control over this type of thing why don't we have a place to go to for help. And I am talking about a building with people in it. So I can show them these tires. Or are these people producing these products protected by the ronald reagan act?.

The contact owns a 2000 Ford Taurus. The vehicle had cooper lifeliner touring sle t-rated tires, size 215/60/r16, the dot number was unavailable. While driving approximately 55 mph the vehicle started pulling to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection.

I own a 2000 Ford Taurus wagon se with oem touring contact as - p215/60r16 - 94t tires. The Ford's b-column sticker lists the correct tire inflation as 30 psi, both front and rear. The american tire distributor 2003 tire guide, published by bennett garfield lists the correct pressure for this make and model as 33 psi. I have suffered from severe cupping that I believe to be related to following, the Ford inflation specification. I am forced to replace my tires with only 36,000 miles after at least 12,000 miles of chatter from the damaged treads. I no longer feel safe using these tires.

This is the second set of continental touring contact as, 215/60r/16-94t. Tires the first went out of round at 2400 or so miles this the front 2 per the dealer are out of round also and per the service rep brian branson after 20000 miles it should be expected, and needs to addressed with the tire manufacture since they changed the tires once and the mileage at 22997 is to great for them to do anything. I took the car to a dealer and he said that, for $15. 00 each they could get the tire back in round the dealer who offered no help and charged $75. 00 to tell me the tires are out of round and not covered by Ford, I guess so much for service being number 1.

I was driving down the highway at the posted speed limit when I heard a sound as if a large truck was approaching. I checked to see if that were the case, saw no vehicle, realized the car was beginning to vibrate and slow down so I decided that it might be a tire. At this point, I began to slow and drive to the shoulder. As I pulled off the road onto the shoulder, I heard the tire hitting the car. I was very lucky that I was able to stop the car without serious injury or damage to the car. ( dot number: 8xx81rt110 tire size: p215/60r16 ).
