I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH VIBERATION WHEN I GET A TIRE ROTATION. EVERYTIME THE BACK TIRES ARE ROTATED TO THE FRONT, I HAVE INCREASED VIBERATION, SO I HAVE SINCE ROTATED THE TIRES BACK TO WHERE THE VIBERATION IS MUCH LESS. I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER TODAY THAT SAID THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES WERE "UNDER INVESTIGATION". I TRAVEL QUITE A LOT BETWEEN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAYS. SHOULD THIS BE A CONCERN, SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE A TIRE PROBLEM AT THIS PRESENT TIME? I DIDN'T APPRECIATE THE COMMENT IN THE PAPER TODAY "AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN" ABOUT THE FACT THAT "THE SPARE TIRE WAS THERE FOR A REASON" AFTER "NHTSA HAD CITED CASES ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS OF TIRES PEELING OFF THEIR CASINGS, INCLUDING REPORTS OF 21 DEATHS AS THERE CAR IS BARRELING DOWN THE ROAD".. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

MY TIRES HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE TIRES. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS REPLACED FIRESTONE TIRES FOR FREE ON VEHICLES SOLD IN OTHER COUNTRIES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD CAN CONSIDER ITSELF LIABLE ELSEWHERE BUT NOT IN THE USA. I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE WHERE MY TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED OR WHO'S LIABLE. I DON'T TRUST THESE TIRES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FIRESTONE THINKS 40 DEATHS CAUSED BY TIRE FAILURE OUT OF 48 MILLION TIRES IS ACCEPTABLE. IT WOULDN'T BE IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHER OR DAUGHTER. I THINK ALL OF THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED, NOT JUST THE 14 MILLION MADE IN DECATUR, IL.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P25570R16 )

PROBLEM, THEREFORE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MODEL OF EXPLORER, 4WD VERSUS 2WD, OR SIZE OF WHEEL (15" VERSUS 16").( DOT NUMBER: VNCU-1PX TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

RATTLE IN MOTOR, WORKED ON 2 TIMES, WAS TOLD WE WOULD RECEIVE A NEW MOTOR FROM FORD. AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS IN THE SHOP BEING REPLACED. WE WERE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION IT WOULD BE A NEW MOTOR, BUT WHEN WE TOOK IT THERE TO BE CHANGED WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE A FACTORY RE-BUILT MOTOR.

THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES EXPERIENCED CRACKS, OWNER WAS REFUSED RECALL REPLACEMENT AND REPLACED WITH OTHER TIRES. *MJS

DUE TO THE LARGE RECALL WE HAD OUR TIRE INSPECTED BY A FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP IN TAYLORS, SC . THE TIRES HAVE SERIOUS CRACKS IN THE SIDE WALLS, THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER THEY STATE THESE TIRES WERE NOT IN THE RECALL AND IF WE WANTED THEM REPLACED WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY A PRORATED AMT. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES AT THIS MILEAGE, THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. WE WELCOME ANYONE FROM THE NHTSA TO INSPECT THE TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL BUT SAID THERE HANDS WERE TIED IN THIS MATTER. THE TIRE ARE THE W2 SERIES. WE ARE RELYING ON YOU TO HELP IN THIS MATTER BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR ANY PART OF THIS DEFECT.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE SEPARATED ON A TRIP MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE TAKING TO NEW ORLEANS. THE FIRESTONE DEALER IN NEW ORLEANS STATED THAT NO ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE MADE ON THE TIRE AND AT THAT TIME MY WIFE PURCHASED A NEW TIRE TO REPLACE THE SEPARATED TIRE. SUBSEQUENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON FIRESTONE TIRES. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FIRESTONE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE WILDERNESS TIRE ON OUR AUTO WERE NOT THE RECALLED TIRES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONE REPLACEMENT TIRE PURCHASED IN NEW ORLEANS. MEANING OF COURSE THAT A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE THAT SEPARATED IS NOT A PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT USING THE AUTO DUE TO MY UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF TIRES AND WONDER IF THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM ,THAT EFFECTS ALL WILDERNESS TIRES AND NOT ONLY THE TIRES MANUFACTURED AT THE IL PLANT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME.( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES ON VEHICLE ARE WILDERNESS AT, THEY HAVE 30 PSI OF AIR EACH. RIGHT FRONT TIRE IS SHOWING CRACKING AT THE CROWN OF TIRE BETWEEN TREAD AND SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE IS SHOWING SOME CRACKS JUST STARTING. THE DOT NUMBERS DO NOT START WITH VD, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES THAT DO. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THESE TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL 368 TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

CONSUMER REPLACED RECALLED FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES AND IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *SLC

THIS RELATES TO THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL. BEFORE THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, I HAD MY MOTHER-IN-LAW TAKE HER EXPLOYER IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI BECAUSE I NOTICED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON HER FRONT TIRES. THE TREAD ON THE INNER SURFACES WAS WORN COMPLETELY DOWN AND YOU COULD NOTICE A DISTINCTIVE SOUND AS YOU DROVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I CALL IT THE HELICOPTER SOUND. THE RESPONSE SHE RECEIVED WAS THAT ALL EXPLOYERS DO THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANOUNCED, SHE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND IN HER WORDS "THE MEN IN SUITS HAD HER TIRES REPLACESD ON THE SPOT". THAT TOOK CARE OF THE TIRE PROBEM FOR NOW, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF ALL EXPLOYERS TEND TO WEAR TIRES AS THE DEALER INDICATED TO HER, THEN IT COULD BE A CONTRIBUTARY CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE TIRE FAILURES THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE ON FORD EXPLOYERS.

WE TOOK THE CAR TO A FIRESTONE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT ON RECALL -- JUST THE ONES WITH VD AT THE START OF THE NUMBER. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE TIRES AND THE DEALER SAW THEM -- SAID WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AND HE WOULD ADJUST THEM. THIS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO - HE WAS OUT OF THE TIRES AT THE TIME AND SAID HE WOULD CALL US WITHIN A WEEK. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FIRESTONE DEALER SAID THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY WE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BEAR THE EXPENSE (LESS HIS ADJUSTMENT) FOR A NEW SET WHEN THEY ARE SURELY SOME OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

FORD AND FIRESTONE REFUSE TO REPLACE 16 INCH TIRES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS DATA SHOWING SIMILAR TIRE FAILURE AS THE 15 INCH MODEL. THE NHTSA, AND CSA AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE RECOMMENDED THEY BE INCLUDED TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL ON THESE TIRES SO THAT WE MAY FEEL A GREATER SENSE OF SAFETY THAN CURRENTLY FELT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P25516R70 )

I HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED BY FORD THAT I HAVE THE RECALLED TIRES BUT I HAVE TO WAIT 5-6 MONTHS FOR NEW ONES?

I WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE ANY RECOURSE OR ANY LEGAL STANCE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR.( DOT NUMBER: )
