Example complaints
Tires: “My son was driving our truck off the off ramp of the mass pike in natick when the car started to shake. He pulled into a gas station on route 30 and found the tire was completely torn off the rim on the outside. It is a scary site and if it happened on the mass pike who knows what might have happened. I've never seen such damage to a tire in my life it totaly riped off the whole side. We took pictures we can send if need be. I went to the firestone dealer today on a donut of a tire replacing. We were told to come back when the manager is their. We will go back on tues. …”
