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 towing my enclosed car hauler trailer, with a classic car inside, my right rear tire on my F250 Super Duty pickup exploded. I was running 70 mph at the time in Alabama. I did not wreck but I really had to fight to keep it on the road until I could stop. The tire is in two pieces. The Firestone store in pensacola, Florida said the tire is not one of their recalls. However, I understand these same tires on the Excursion are. Why are the same tires, when installed on F250 pickups, not included in the recall? I will say, regardless of the outcome of this, I will never, never buy another Firestone tire of any kind. In fact I hope that Firestone is put out to pasture forever.
Tread separated from tire. The tire still held air, damage to running board, mirror and fender. Approximately 65 mph down interstate. Next day passenger side tire did the same exact thing. Firestone 265/75R16 steeltex.
