Expedition 6-cyl

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I have a 2000 Ford Expedition. Last June, just after having the car serviced, I noticed my General Grabber tires delaminating and coming apart. I immediately called my local Ford dealer and was told there was no recall on the tires, but to save any receipts when I purchase new tires in the event there is a recall. I replaced the tires and saved the recept. I received a recall notice from Ford later in the year. When I called them they said to bring the vehicle in. I explained that I had replaced the tires. I was told my claim was with Continental tire, not Ford, and that Continental would be contacting me. They never did contact me and I finally had the opportunity to call Continental tire with a phone no. Given to me by Ford. Continental tire now says that the recall is over and there is no way to recoup my expenses. I need your help. In my case no one was injured because I made a vehicle inspection and had the tires replaced (before the recall was made). If there had been a death, we'd be in court right now, but because there wasn't I'm being penalized for the cost of the tires and being vigilant.

All four vehicle tires had separated tread, one major, the vehicle was not driven over 70 mph highway and was not taken off-road at any time. Tires were replaced by discount tire 1300 E expressway 83 mcallen tx 956-668-9789 on 6-18-2002. Tires were kept inflated properly, alignment maintained with normal tread wear on tires. One tire had been repaired for a flat. General tire was contacted and demonstrated no concern over four tire treads seperating on one vehicle under normal use on 6-19-2002. I believe general has a severe safety issue with this tire that needs immediate attention.

My wife was driving our 2000 Expedition on the freeway at 60mph when the tread separated on the right rear tire, causing a blow out and an accident, almost causing a catastrophic rollover. I am fortunate she was not killed. What irritates me the most is general tire has a reputation for this problem, especially here in Arizona, and the consumer has no idea. These tires were not worn and were properly inflated, and the only legal recourse I would have against general tire would have been if my wife and infant child had been seriously injured. I am incensed about this as the only reason general will get away with this is due to the fact my wife's driving skills saved her life. My opinion is general and Ford continue to deceive the public about the safety of the product they are putting on the road, and there is no repercussion for their negligence.
