1999 Ford Ranger

PE00020; ORGINIAL EQUIPMENT 1999 FORD, RANGER, TIRE SIZE P22570R15, DOT HYUU219. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HAD VIBRATION WHICH GOT WORSE OVER TIME, AND USUALLY HAPPENED AT 40 MPH, AND GOT WORSE AS THE MPH INCREASED. DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE SHOWED TREAD CRACKING WHICH APPEARED AS IF THERE WAS TIRE SEPARATION. FIRESTONE AND FORD WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP. *AK THE DEALER FOUND OUT THAT THE TIRE ON THE LEFT FRONT WAS SEPARATING ON BRAND NEW LEASED TRUCK. *YH

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM WRITING THIS IN HOPES YOU WILL HAVE FIRESTONE RECALL ALL OF ITS' WILDERNESS AT TIRES, NO MATTER WHAT SIZE THE TIRE MAY BE. I LEASED THIS 99 RANGER 4X4 LAST MAY IN ORDER TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY SON TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL, FOOTBALL, & HOME AGAIN. NOW THIS RECALL! I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FIRESTONE STATING THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SHOULD BE SAFE! SHOULD BE! I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A COMPLETE RECALL SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME CAN STOP WORRYING IF OUR CHILD WILL COME HOME OR WILL HE/SHE BE THE NEXT FATALITY. PLEASE DON'T LET MORE PEOPLE DIE BEFORE FIRESTONE RECALLS ALL THEIR WILDERNESS BRAND TIRES! FORD NOR FIRESTONE ARE ABLE TO BRING BACK THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY DIED, PLEASE STEP IN NOW!! A CONCERNED AND ANGRY MOTHER - ASK THE CEO'S OF THESE COMPANIES - WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IF IT WERE THEIR SON/DAUGHTER THAT HAD DIED BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN THE GOOD OLD DOLLAR VERSES HUMAN LIFE!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 )

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH 2 OF OUR TIRES IN LESS THAN 17,000 MILES. BACK IN MAY OF THIS YEAR WE BROUGHT OUR RANGER BACK TO DEALERSHIP, FOR A NOISE IN THE FRONT OF VEHICLE. TURNED OUT ONE OF THE TIRES, WHICH HAS BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED TO CORRECT AIR PRESSURE HAD DEVELOPED LUMPS. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DID NOT WARRANTY TIRES. NOW WE HAVE THE SAMETHING HAPPENING TO A SECOND TIRE. WE FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON, PEACE OF MIND! THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD REPLY TO THIS LETTER IN A TIMELY MANNER AND HOPFULLY YOU CAN REGAIN OUR FAITH, ONCE AGAIN IN BIG BUSINESSES. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/16 )

THIS TIRE FAILED DUE A SO CALLED ROAD HAZARD FAILURE DUE TO A SMALL ROCK PUNCTURED AT 600 MILES. I TOOK THE TIRE TO A LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER FO REPAIR WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ROCK HAD CUT THROUGH THE CORD AND THEY COULD NOT LEGAL REPAIR IT .THE LOCAL COLUMBIA FORD DEALER AND THE LES SCHWAB DEALER IN LONGVIEW WASH. BOTH INFORMED ME THAT THE WAY THE GUARANTEE WAS WRITTEN THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY REMEDY AND THAT THEY WERE VERY SORRY BUT THE GUARANTY AMOUNTED TO SO MUCH TOILET PAPER I HAD HAD AN UNEASY FEELING ABOUT THE WAY THE TRUCK HANDLED WITH THE FIRESTONE TIRES ,[KIND OF AN INTUITIVE FEELING AND SINCE THE RECENT PUBLICITY ON FIRESTONE TIRES ,I AM EVEN MORE CONCERNED SINCERELY /PAUL L, EVERDELL AT PLERDEL@PACIFIER.COM( DOT NUMBER: 00 TIRE SIZE: P265R15/AT )
