On Tuesday, January 27th about 1:00pm, while driving on the interstate, the rear passenger tire exploded and was completely flat. I drove to a nearby by gas station to await my motor service to replace the tire. I photographed the damaged tire. On Tuesday, January 27h, goodyear replaced the tire and stated aging was a factor in the tire failure. The tires were serviced by the same goodyear store on Friday January 23rd and no mention of aging or replacing the tires was stated by goodyear. I still have to replace three (3) of the tires on my vehicle.
Tires on my 2003 Ford Taurus's wore down to steel belts with rubber separating from belts causing tire replacement under (2) 20,000 / (2) 28000 miles. Called Ford's hq cs an received a letter 01/27/2012 from hq cs was told by Ford motor cs to take the letter sent to me to a dealer. Showed the letter from Ford motor hq cs to local dealer but was told we do not cover defected tires after they called an yelled at the cs rep. In front of me from Ford's hq at which time I said but the letter ask the dealer to honor my reimbursement for parts & service complaint. The dealer's service manager firmly ask me to leave after bringing to their attention if I was the cs rep. I would not honor it either after being yelled at like. That's when the service manager ask me to leave firmly so I honor his request an left. Also, my 2006 Ford Taurus had wear issues. Sincerely, a very dissatisfied customer.
Toyo versado lx for 2003 Ford Taurus. I bought these tires and have had nothing but problems since I had them installed. The shake started off slight, and over time has progressesed to dangerous levels where I can no longer drive the car. I have taken the car to 5 different front end shops searching for what I thought was a problem with my car. The fourth finally pin pointed the tires. I went back to where I purchased the tires, and neither the shop or toyo want to do anything to fix the safety problem with my car. The shake is now so extensive I can not drive the car due to fear of damaging the stearing or suspsension components. Each time I have been in, a road force balance is performed, but does not completely remidy the problem. Even the so call front end "expert" said it was the tires. The car can not be driven until I save enough money to buy new tires.
Firestone continental. Consumer states that the firestone tires are rounded out. This is causing vibration in the steering column.
