| 1999 | TIRES | MY TIRES HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE TIRES. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS REPLACED FIRESTONE TIRES FOR FREE ON VEHICLES SOLD IN OTHER COUNTRIES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD CAN CONSIDER ITSELF LIABLE ELSEWHERE BUT NOT IN THE USA. I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE WHERE MY TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED OR WHO'S LIABLE. I DON'T TRUST THESE TIRES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FIRESTONE THINKS 40 DEATHS CAUSED BY TIRE FAILURE OUT OF 48 MILLION TIRES IS ACCEPTABLE. IT WOULDN'T BE IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHER OR DAUGHTER. I THINK ALL OF THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED, NOT JUST THE 14 MILLION MADE IN DECATUR, IL.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P25570R16 ) |
