NHTSA complaint: 1996 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN — TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY COMPLAINT STEMS FROM AN INCIDENT WITH THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT TIRE WHICH LOST IT'S TREAD AND NEARLY KILLED MY FAMILY. REFER TO MY COMPLAINT WHICH I CLASSIFIED UNDER FIRESTONE, LT245/75R16 (JUNE 28TH, 2003). FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR...FIRESTONE IS BEING TOTALY UNETHICAL REGARDING THEIR RESPONSE TO ALL THESE FAILURES. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS ORGANIZATION, NHTSA IS NOT REPRESENTING THE TAX PAYERS IN THAT IT IS OBVIOUS FROM ALL THESE REPORTS FILED THAT SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE TIRES. WHY DON'T YOU PUT ALL FIRESTONE, STEELTEX, TIRE COMPLAINTS UNDER ONE CATAGORY? YOU ARE WATERING DOWN THE SEVERITY OF THIS BY HAVING 10-15-20 OR MORE DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS WHERE PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF LODGE COMPLAINTS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TIRES....MORE PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES UNLESS SOMETHING IS DONE. AK
