| Description of the problem | On 6/13/2015 i purchased a new set of firestone affinity touring p225/60r17 98h tires from firestone complete auto care store and while driving home i noticed a bumping noise. When i arrived home i noticed a large blister popping out from the bead rim area. I notified firestone month day year were there any deaths or injuries? Yes no was there a fire:yesno property damage:yesnoabout the defect and they replaced the tire however i noticed on my receipt they wrote the wrong dot plug information down on two of the tires one being the bad one. I contacted firestone to find out what was wrong with the tire and they said it was from an imp 1057 characters remaining for descriptionact. I know that this is totally untrue since i worked in the industry for over 20 years. It was a manufacturing defect that ripped the bead and not my fault. The tire was so bad that if i had an impact that bad it would have effected both the front and rear as well as damaging the rim. I had my local mechanic check it and he confirmed what i said and was amaised i made it home without blowing out. Even though it was a defect they never offered any compensation that i was lucky nor replaced the other tire with the wrong dot plug. I f needed i have several pictures to prove my case. Also what is the likleyhood of getting two tires with the wrong dates? I think they forgot to change the plug when they should have and they got out in the field. I have tried since june to see what they could do for me compensation wise like a new set of tires but the rep i spoke to did nothing so i told him my next resort was to report this incident to your agency and pay whatever fines applicable. Thanks for your time and consideratiom with this matter. |
