“My 1999 Honda Civic caught on fire november 11 it was 11:45 pm my car was parked within 6 feet of my house my dog alerted me by barking and going crazy I was asleep so got up and went to the bathroom, and noticed a bright flickering light went outside to see what was causing this and saw my car on fire: drivers side. It looked to me the fire was right above the tire, and also the fire dept. Confirmed that don't know if it was the tire, or electrical system I owned the car for approximately 6 months I had no insurance so was out $4,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10250094, filed 2008-11, 137,000 miles“I was driving my 1999 Honda Civic lx 4 door vehicle on a return trip from birmingham, al to atlanta, ga and about 45 minutes into my return trip the tread separated from the front right tire of my vehicle. I was fortunate that that although the 1/3 of the tread separated from the tire it did not blow out and I was able to get to an exit safely. I then proceeded to a walmart tire replacement center where I asked the technician if this was the first time he had seen this happen. …”

NHTSA complaint #870404, filed 2000-09“My wife's firestone tire blew on her 1999 Honda Civic and almost caused a major accident on i75. She is lucky to not have been injured. Also, her sister's firestone tire blew 1 year later on her 1998 Honda Civic while driving on another florida highway. The probabilities of such incidents happening to one family must be high unless there is a defect in these firestone tires. Luckily no one was injured but that is probably because these were not SUV's. …”
