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.
Tires were purchased new on 01/08/03. While driving consumer felt vibration in vehicle. Upon inspection noticed that air pressure in left front and rear tires was very low. Consumer placed spare on rear tire and inflated front tire in order to make it to home. When consumer arrived home discovered left front tire had a "bubble" the size of a football. Tires were not original. Vehicle is a 1995 GMC 3/4 ton Sierra pickup.
I have checked several times over the last year concerning recall of these tires. They never seem to fall in any of the recalls even under the recent recall by Firestone for tires after 1998. In checking with several tires stores in our area I have been told that the only reason that they are not under the recall is that they are not on a Ford product. This seems to me to be ludicious since these tires are known to fail and are on a veh of similar weight and characteristics to the Ford products. I want to know why Firestone is not replacing these tires. (dot number: Vdw8 AW2 tiresize: 235/75R16)
