My daughter, sitting in front passenger seat, went to put on seat belt and the buckle side that's supposed to be anchored down to frame came off in her hand. Thankfully it was before we started driving. 1st time this has happened. I bolted it back down to floor frame. I called nissan and reported what happened. The lady said someone would call me after taking all the information on what happened. I never heard back. Date below is very approximate. *tr

Tire tread came oof while freeway driving, still inflated to 30psi (dot number: 08/93 tiresize: 31x10.50)

When driving home a 18" section of tire tread came off. Cooper tires had problems with tread separation under wet conditions. They would fix this by poking a hole through the tread to release the air bubble. In my oppinion this is unexeptable! When i asked pep boys for help they said buy a new one, again an unacceptable answer. Two machanices both say it a manufacturers defect. It just so happenned to be raining in vegas for the past several days before the tire problems. Pleas help. Thank you. *ak (dot number: 30hh/86k35 tiresize: p225/75r15)

I brought my tire to a firestone dealer and they said that they weren't the tires that got recalled. But when i brought my tires to big o to have the damaged tire and right front tire replaced, they informed me that the tires were the defective tires. Although the tires had the lemans brand name on them, they are firestone made tires and have the same dot number as the tires that were recalled. As of today, firestone is not recalling any tires that do not have the firestone brand name on them. I felt that you should be informed that the tires made under firestone's private sector are defective as well and just because they don't have the firestone name on the side of the tire, it doesn't mean that the tires are not defective and have no need of recall. Thankyou( dot number: vdhl tire size: p835/75r15 )
