NHTSA complaint: 1998 FORD EXPLORER — TIRES
THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE! THE POLICE REPORT STATES THAT THE RIGHT REAR TREAD CAME OFF AND RESULTED IN A MULTIPLE ROLL-OVER ACCIDENT CAUSING BODILY INJURY TO THE DRIVER. PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE LIST OF FIRESTONE INJURIES ASAP. THE VEHICLE ACCIDENT OCCURRED BEFORE THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL WAS MADE PUBLIC, SO THE TIRE AND VEHICLE ARE SO FAR UNRECOVERABLE. THE DOT# IS UNKNOWN, BUT WE DO HAVE PICTUREA AND VIDOE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT SHOW THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AND TYPE. THANK YOU, AARON COOLEY( DOT NUMBER: ??? TIRE SIZE: P235/75/15 )
