Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving at 40 MPH no road hazard less than 19,000 miles on the car, the tire went flat with a side wall crack! The dealership decided it was road hazard, but I know different! The second tire cracked while driving 35 miles per hours. Firestone tires don't seem to be safe. I will not recommend or purchase tires from firestone or purchase another car with firestone tires on it!”

I took the car in to report defect at 1066 miles and was told by the service adviser that I needed four new tires. My mechanic also advised me these tires are faulty and dangerous. …”
