On June 7, 2014, we were driving our 2005 Chevy Silverado hd westbound through Kansas on I70. A strong vibration forced us to exit. The automotive technician identified that the driver's side front tire had slipped a belt. We purchased a new tire (no Firestone available). All tires were rotated and balanced. In August 2014, a similar vibration was noticed. On August 21, 2014, after an extensive, multi-point inspection, it was determined that the driver's rear tire had slipped a belt. Replacement necessary. Of the remaining two Firestone tires, one appears to be from the same batch (corresponding dot#) as the driver's rear tire that was just removed. Replacement recommended. The passenger front tire appears to be from a different batch, but will be replaced. (unfortunately, we have not been unable to locate a record of the dot# from the tire replaced in June 2014.) Firestone has initially denied replacement/compensation to the automotive business performing the repairs.

I was notified of NHTSA recall number 12T-019 for a recall on my bf goodrich tires. I went to my local dealer mccarthy tires located at 119 linden St in scranton pa. The customer service rep told me I had to of bought the tires at mccarthy tire for them to do the recall replacement. After I insisted that they are an authorized service center they told me that they didn't have the tires and had to order them and would call me when they came in. I waited a week and a half and called mccarthy tire. When I inquired about the order they told me they did not have any tires in my size on order and they did not know what I as talking about. It appears they refuse to perform the service recall work if I didn't buy the tires from them.
