Vehicle lost control due to passenger rear tire blow out. The consumer started to swerve, slid into the gravel, swerved again, then crashed into the median. (no tire information was given.
Purchased tire at Firestone; tire developed a bubble on the side. Firestone agreed to change the tire, but wants to charge me for labor and shop supplies even though the tire has a 40,000 mile warranty and I've used it only for 6,000 miles! Firestone employees confirmed that it's likely to explode soon and, thus it's very dangerous to drive the car with it, but they keep insisting on charging me for labor. (tiresize: 18570R13)
