NHTSA complaint: 1999 FORD EXPLORER — TIRES
ROLLOVER ALMOST OCCURRED FROM BLOWN TIRE/EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING-BAD SERVICE-NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. VEHICLE FRAME IS BENT AND A LOT OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE-I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. INSURANCE DOES NOT WANT TO COVER COSTS ON TIRES BECAUSE TIRE WAS BRAND NEW WAS REPLACED BY DREW FORD ON 7-2-01 AND BLEW OUT ON 7-6-01. THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING CAUSED BY LOW INFLATION AND THE TIRE WAS JUST REPLACED ON 7-2-01. THE SERVICE MEN SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THE PRESSURE AT THAT TIME OF REPLACING THE TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6HLTB2R21 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)
