The tire completely blewout on major highway, large hole.
I experienced many flats with these Ford factory goodyear tires. Finally I had a dangerous blowout in the carpool lane on a freeway in orange county, calif. I immediately replaced the tires with big o tour plus tires. I haven't had another flat since. I had called Ford and goodyear before the blowout, complaining about many flat tires. They said it was normal wear and tear. I disagree. I have the four tires and receipts for proof. I believe the factory goodyear tires are dangerously soft. I am fortunate my wife and I didn't have an accident when the goodyear tire blew. Can you help us get some response from goodyear & Ford?.
The right rear tire blew out, on another occasion, the left tire had developed a buldge on the inside, and had blown while driving as well. (ameri GS 60) scc.
The left rear tire on my minivan blew out on southbound I-75 at mile marker 309 on Tuesday sept. 5. The tire failed without warning. The vehicle was brought to a controlled stop with no injuries and no vehicle damage other than the tire. Continental general claims this failure is due to "road hazard" but there are no cuts, scratches, or punctures that makes me believe this is true. The tire had about 6500 miles on it. Outside temperature was about 80 degrees and I was driving on smooth pavement. I have the tire available for your inspection. ( dot number: acm3 44c tire size: p215/70r15 ).
When the first tire blew blue springs Ford told me tire warranties were up to the manufacturer.
