On 3/1100 at about 6:35pm, I was coming from dallas to houston.just before wyllis my car went totally out of control after my right front tire went to pieces. According to witnesses, my car was all over both highways, almost been killed by two 18 wheelers and altimately crashing on a guard on the South direction.I lost conscience and when I came to I saw alot of people over me and then taken to the first emergency.after that I was sent to another hospital emergency & after 3 days in the intensive care I was in a room where I stayed about 9 days.I sustained a fractured neck, open scal, broken right-shoulder, knee and a very bruised & swollen left wrist but not broken.given the facts (which can all be substantiated by my dealer's records) the maintenance of my car and tires were up to the minute.we were told nothing was left from the tire and the pictures taken show the bear well of the tire all twisted.there has never been any doubt in my mind that I came very close to been killed, as a result of a bad tire.I contacted Firestone and through agents I was told that I had no claim since I did not have the tire.

All four tires have cracks, all around the perimiter of innner and outer thread channels. Called Firestone said water could possibly get into steel belts causing them to rust and tires to fail. Firestone also said that a Firestone dealer would pro-rate thread wear, how can a manufacturer's defect cost a consumer money. Also I have personal;Y seen the same defect on quite a few other Chevy mailbus, with the same tires, maybe this should become a recall before one of these tires do fail at high speed. Thank you.

The Firestone tires were completely uncontrollable on slick pavement, ice, or snow covered roads, the consumer found that the tires on the vehicle were designed for dry pavement only, he replaced the tires and is requesting reimbursement.
Center of tires worn out at 30,000 miles. Rim problems, GM said no!!Firestone said it happens too often!!! (tiresize: 214/60R15)( dot number: Tire size: 214/60R15 )
For no reason whatsoever a bulge developed in this tire. It grew on its own overnight to twice the original size when I discovered it. I took it immediately to the dealer and it was replaced with a similar tire. This replacement tire has 1991 stamped on it, the original for do not. I thought this was just a fluke, but with all the news about Firestone, I must tell you I am very uneasy about driving with these tires. What if another bulge comes up and blows out, and causes an accident? I hope you will look into this because there are a lot of Malibu in raleigh with these same tires, (I checked). Thank you for your time, barbara dipert. (dot number: 93T mts tiresize: P215/60R15)
