This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving and when brakes were applied they did not hold, pedal went all the way to the floor, consumer stated the vehicle coasted through a red light through a busy intersection, this was caused by a hole in the brake line, which was the result of the way the brake line was assembled.. consumer stated the 4X4 did not work, the tire blew out, there was a water leak and the carpet had to be replaced twice, the rear window was replaced, the rear brakes never worked, the radio was inoperative, the hood light flickered while driving, and also vehicle experienced transmission problems.
The set of 5 tires was purchased in March and had 6300 miles on them. The tire separated and blewout leaving the side wall intact and split from top of tire to rim. The seperation pattern is considerably noticable. This blow out caused extensive damage to side panel of truck, ripping out the sidewall plastic cover and mud flap. The sudden failure of this tire has made me very leary of driving with the others. (tiresize: 245 75/R16)
Complete sidewall destruction - blow out! resulting in temporary swerve and loss of control! however at 40 mph, I was able to safely stop vehilcle. (tiresize: 245/16)( dot number: Tire size: 245/16 )
I was driving on the interstate when the truck started shaking and bouncing. When I pulled over and inspected the tire I found a large bubble in the middle of the tire. I had the tires replaced and found that the tread had started to seperate from the tire. With all of the news I had been hearing about other Firestone tires, I thought you should know. I still have the tires if they are needed for inspection.( dot number: Tire size: 245/75R16 )

These tires have had a vibration in them since day one, the dealer was unwilling to help me, and I recently (since the news hit) started sending requests to Firestone to replace them with some other brand before I get hurt. I have copies of emails and form letter responses from them. They state that the only tires they are replacing are the 15" ones and mine do not apply. I just want new tires from them, before I get hurt or killed. My job requires a minimum of 120 high speed highway miles a day. I also do not have the money to replace them myself, and even if I did, it would be a total loss, as there is no resale value on anything they made.( dot number: Unknown tire size: P265/75R16 )
