Tire Blowout Problems of Ford Taurus

Dry rot is showing in between the tread of all 4 tires. The tires were purchased new from sam's club. Touring t/a dot (ap5m) (a721) (0212). There is 8/32 of the tread remaining, measured by sam's. I have had the tires rotated every 4500 miles. I asked about the dry rot and the manager told me that I wash the car too much. The manufacturer and sam's will not work with me to remove the danger of a blow out on these tires. They need to be recalled as unsafe.

I had purchased a set of bfgoodrich premium touring tires from costco. I have had blowouts in 4 of 6 tires, all with around 45-55000 miles on them. The sidewall had cracks that went from the tread down across the sidewall. I have only had 1 blowout since I started driving since 1978. Besides these tires. I put 70000 miles on the original tires without problems. I do not understand how this many tires have blown. By the way, the 2 tires that did not blow out had cracks forming on the sidewall by the tread as well. (the reason I had 6 is because 2 were replaced under warranty) the "tires plus" store I went to did not understand why the tires were doing what they were doing, but he did say that it was not normal. I just want to help prevent accident or injury to others. It may just be the tire size that is affected. The tires were not old, the tires plus manager checked that first when he saw the tire. I have a set that were placed on my 1991 Ford tempo and they are not showing the same cracking. I only have about 30000 miles on them right now. 3 of the 4 blowouts were on the front and one on the passenger rear.

After about 3. 5 hours of highway driving from denver to las vegas, the tire blew out outside of grand junction, CO. In 60+f temps. The tire started to chunck out before it blew-out. I thought my wife was hitting debris in the road before the tire blew-out. The tire blew-out at the sidewall where the sidewall and tread come together. I have the tire in my possession if you'd like me to send it to you. The dealer, we bought the car from, did repay me for the full set of new tires that were purchased in las vegas,nv.

While traveling at 70 mph without any indication passenger's rear tire had a blowout. P21560r16. Tire failure caused damage to the fender wall and lower bumper panel, firestone affinity tires.

Tire blew out. Tires had been serviceed two days prior to incident. Tires had been balenced, rotated, air pressure checked, and wheels aligned by tire service center. Incident accured after driving aor approx 2-3 hous at 65-70 mph on fry highway. Tire failed at sidewall. Tread remained intact. Dealership inspected tire. Could find no evidence of tread failure or puncture. Firestone product warranty was contacted. Manufacturer claimed failure resulted from under-inflation and high speed, but did not inspect tire. I assert tire failed due to poor quality workmanship. Ford dealership claimed no responsibility. (tiresize: p215/60r16)( dot number: tire size: p215/60r16 ).

I had been driving down the road at a slow rate of speed when the tire blew up. It blew out my quarter panel 2 inches from the frame of my car. Had I been on the highway I would not be hear right now . My car veered off the raod ,over thecurb and into a parking lot. Had there been a person next to me there would have been an accident. General tire says there not libel because there was a plug in the tire. That plug ahd only been in a short time. The integrity of the tire was not compromised because of the plug. I had an explosion, that was the problem. The tire compnay cannot tell me for every tire that had a plug in it they will nor be responsible for it if it explodes. That is unconscionable. (tiresize: p20565r15)( dot number: tire size: p20565r15 ).

I was traveling south on route 301 from crofton, MD at 55 miles per hour when the rear right side tire blew out. I did not hit or run over anything on the road. A driver behind me stopped and told me he saw a puff of smoke when the tire blew. I am concerned because of the way the tire blew out. The tire blew from on the inside of the rim and the inside of the tire separated completely from the rest of the tire. It looks as if the inside rim of the tire was cut out. The tire did not appear to be under inflated before I began driving. I took the tire back to the Ford dealer, they told me that they were not liable for the tires, take it to a firestone dealer. The firestone dealer told me that the tire may have been under inflated, or that there may have been a puncture to the tire (I do not beleive either theory). I had two other tire technicians look at the tire, and they had never seen a tire blow this way. I reported this problem to Ford motor company, and firestone. I have replaced all four tires on my car. I still have the firestone tires if there is a need to investigate this problem. (dot number: 8xx8 tiresize: p21560r16).

Tire completely blown out--no tread remained (just came apart). Lost control of car and was able to pull over to side. Next day took the remining tire part (limited to the rim only) to jack roach Ford (where I have my car serviced). They informed me that they had no responsibility and to take it to firestone. I did and they replaced the tire with a similar tire. I have serious concerns about the overall reliability of these tires. I sent a letter to Ford and to firestone requesting them to replace all of my tires with a more dependable and higher quality tire. This letter was sent on August 10th. I faxed a copy to your office on August 15 with th firestone invoice(which also indicated that no tread remained on the tire). A representative from Ford called on Saturday, September 2nd indicating that Ford acknowledged the receipt of the letter, and will not accept any responsibility and will not replace the tires. They insisted that I need to follow-up with firestone. When my tire blew out on a six lane highway, my six year old son and I were in the car. I hate to think that we could have been fatalities. I feel it was a manufacturer's defect that put my life and son's life at risk. I request that you look into this situation before someone loses their life based on these tire blow-outs.
