Consumer wants to be reimbursed for defective tires. Nar 1-22-03 the consumer heard a thumping sound coming from the vehicle, it was determined that 3 buldges were found in the tires and were unsafe to drive on.
I have experienced 2 blowouts on this set of tires. On inspection, the service rep (for the auto dealer, marshall bros. ) found a third tire that was about to separate in much the same way. I just thought it was time to buy new tires. I went to my local goodyear dealer to replace the old tires. He told me they were still in very good shape, I did not need new tires. He believed that the one that had blown out was defective. What concerns me most were the comments made by both the Lincoln service rep & the independent goodyear dealer. Thay both stated that the expeditions, Navigators & explorers are extremely rough on tires. The Lincoln service representative showed me an expedition that he was changing out all the tires- it was a 2001 expedition with less than 30,000 miles on the tires. This concerns me. . . In addition, marshall bros. Lincoln-Mercury would not honor the warranty on the tires. I was told I would have to deal with the manufacturer. The continental mfr. Is very hard to locate. I'm still trying. I have possession of the most recent 2 failed tires @ home. The first blow-out was @ approximately 55mph when the car had 12,000 miles on it. Thank you. P. S. The owner of the vehicle is my father. He gave me the vehicle to drive this past December. He will verify or sign this report if needed.
Consumer is requesting full reimbursement for all 4 tires. Mr.
Dear jeff:no safety defect. ( dot number: tire size: p275/60r17 ).
Tire viberates at 55-60 miles. Drives rough at all speed. ( dot number: tire size: 17 ).
Driver's side rear tire is showing premature failure (continental tire, p27560r17 . Tires were so out of round that they couldn't be balanced. The consumer purchased a replacement tire from continental and the tread was shaved about 18 inches to make it more round. The consumer fears separation may occur.
Continental tires refused to reimburse the consumer for purchase of new tires. Now a recall, but manufacturer refuses request for reimbursement because it was received too late. . . .
The replacement tires were warped and did not stay balanced, which caused the vehicle to bounce and pull to the left.
Vehicle is pulling to the right and occasionally to the left, the front end of the vehicle experiences vibration, this could possibly be a suspension problem or a tire problem.
