Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“During texas trip, 1 tire went flat. Upon inspection and replacement, it was determined that the cause was tread separation. Following summer, other tires were showing similar breakdown (notelably deep cracks in the sidewalls). I went back to the tire dealer that had sold me the firestones and bought new tires (not firestones). I asked the dealer to inquire about the cracks with a firestone rep. I was never appraised as to the reps. Answer but was told by the dealer that next time I needed tires I would get a good deal on them. …”
