Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“One tire had a sidewall failure and the other three all split. We replaced all four at our own expense since the dealer said firestone was avoiding settlement on tire problems. This all happened before the news about explorers. I kept three of the old tires as proof. ( DOT number: tire size: 10.5x31 )”
NHTSA complaint #726830, filed 2000-08“1)your complet tire size section doesn't have enough spaces. 2)I was traveling at 70 MPH in the rain when my left rear tire just blewout. Ican send you photo's if you want.”
NHTSA complaint #766649, filed 2002-09“First incident I was on interstate 5 headed to san jose. I was within 15 miles of my destination, no place to change tire, had to drive on it until I reached outskirts of morgan hill, ca and had spare mounted, purchased a winston tire to take place of spare for my 500 mile journey home to long beach, ca. 2nd incident, I was on the ramp of the 91eastbound freeway and had to immediately get off at long beach blvd. Contacted aaa whereupon the tire was taken off and the winston (spare) was now put on. …”
NHTSA complaint #730934, filed 2000-09“My firestone wilderness tire exploded just as the others have been described. Yet my tire size and manufacturer location is not one that is being recalled. I have been waiting for the recall to be expanded and it hasn't . A local firestone store on erie blvd. In syracuse, ny informed me that the recall is ongoing and will probably expand. I had to change a sidewall exploded flat on the highway in 90 degree heat and then a year later I find that the same things were happening to others only with more drastic results. …”
NHTSA complaint #745687, filed 2001-05“My tires have developed flat spots on them. I took the truck to the car dealer and they told me to take it to a tire dealer. The tire dealer told me it was the truck causing the problem and firestone would not cover the defect. I have kept the truck maintained and tires rotated and balanced. I feel either firestone or Toyota should be responsible for my problem. I am concerned that it might be more of a tire problem since there have been problems with the other size of wilderness tires.( DOT number: w2 tire size: p26575/r15 )”
