I purchase a 2002 Chevy Suburban on 7/2/05 in Delaware county from a dealership. We drove the car to our house in montgomery county and the car didn't move from the house until 7/4/05. On 7/4/05 my fiance drove the car to work and the tire exploded from the left front of the car on the way. The car hit the barrier on the right side and bounced off and then proceeded to hit the left side barrier were it came to a stop. The tire was not recoverable. Also the air bag never deployed. The accident happen going North on 309 in bucks county on a straight uphill gradient. The conditions of the road and weather were dry. There is a police report on the incident stating accident happen due to tire failure. According to the inspection sticker the tire was removed and inspected by the dealership. We have been trying to get this settled with the dealership for the past year, since we only had the car for a little more then a day. There response was and still is that there is nothing they can do to help. The estimate we received from the body shop was for $22,000 therefore the car was totaled and is currently sitting in my driveway. The tire was a Goodyear Wrangler P265/70R17.

On Friday Oct 1st. Heading out of town the drivers rear tire blew out -the truck is a 2002 Suburban with wilderness le tires. The side-wall blew apart. Fortunatelyi was able to keep the truck under control and pull over. Took it to Chevrolet dealer they said they couldn't do anything. Firestone said they would pro-rate the tire- never really looking or recording the defective tire. GM is now looking into this and is supposed to get back to me. Since then I purchase 4 new tires (Goodyear). Firestone has had recall on wilderness in 2001. The tires were 2001. On this truck. We did keep the tire that is defective.
While driving home from work, my rear passenger Firestone wilderness le tire blew out on my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. The entire side that identifies the make of the tire blew out. The blowout area travels in a perfect circle around the manufacturer identified area. The tread is still in great condition. I was not traveling fast on March 16, 2004, if I was this could have caused a very bad accident or even fatality. I travel with this vehicle to Florida twice a year at speeds of up to 80 mph. I am very concerned about the spare and remaining three tires. Please let me know if there have been any other reported cases regarding this make of tire. Also, is there contact information to contact Firestone tire?
While driving at 70 mph the passenger side rear tire exploded from the sidewall. Also driver's side rear tire developed a hole in the sidewall, and the tire deflated. The cause of both failures was undetermined.
While driving on highway, experienced severe vibration X 3 times. Tires have been computer balanced last Thursday and I took Suburban in for a check today after severe front end vibration while driving on highway at 70mph. I could not reproduce the vibration with the service forman in the car. The front end vibration has stopped now without any further adjustment from service department. I thought you would want to know about this situation since it is a Firestone tire that had previously been recalled last year. My tires do not have the recalled serial numbers on it. I am very pleased with terry cullen cheverolet service. But concerned about the vibration if it returns again. Could this be a normal process for these tires?
