5 Tire Blowout problem of the 2000 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 08/18/2001

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?.

18 Tire Blowout problem of the 1998 Ford Windstar

Just an angry citizen who hopes that maybe you can steer me in a proper direction. I was traveling through California to santa cruz for vacation. I own a 1992 Mazda extended cab 4x4 and was the last of four cars in a very serious accident in which a brand new looking (I don't know the actual year) blew a tire (or lost front wheel) and flipped. My vehicle is totalled and it will cost me thousands to replace since my insurance will not cover all damages. Police filled out reports, people taken away in helicopters. . . . Yet my insurance company can't seem to find any police reports. Do I have any rights to pursue as the consumer? shouldn't Ford or the insurance company of the minivan pay for my losses? I don't mean to sound selfish or cold since many people were hurt, but I am currently being partially covered by my insurance for losses that were not of my fault.
