| Description of the problem | I purchased 4 tires on 6/14/2013, and had to replace them all of three of them on 8/11/2014. For belt separation. The could not drive the car, it would not stay on the road. I contacted bridgestone on 8/20/2014, to report the 3 faulty tires, and they have not gotten back with me. I have reached out several times to them with no reply. They gave me a reference# and that was it. I drove approx. 20,000 miles on the tires. I want them to look in to the tires to make sure they are not faulty. But i can not get a response from them. The make is fuzion touring 91h. By sending this email i hope someone will look into this. I would hate to think if i was driving down the hwy. I would have been killed , worst yet the other cars on the road would have been effected. I can not express how scary this was for me. |
