Dramatic untreading of tire happened while driving on I-95 outside of savannah Georgia. There was no warning and the vehicle became very difficult to control. I was able to slow down and stop in the emergency lane.

When trying to proceed forward after stopping at stop sign vehicle would not go forward. Took vehicle to dealer, and had to replace transmission. This was the third transmission. The transmission failed repeatedly. The turn signals stop flashing when brakes are pressed due to multifunction switch failure. The engine looses coolant and overheated due to intake manifold gasket failure. Rear wiper was inoperative. ABS light comes on due to oxygen sensor failure. Right front tires failed and were replaced.

While driving East on 494 at 55 mph one of front Firestone tires exploded. The car swerved all over the interstate but fortunately the traffic was light at that time so no accident occurred. The tire was shredded and needed to be replaced. A nearby gas station put on the spare and the next day I paid to have the PR680 replaced at a Firestone dealer (store #016926-29F1 TR:8870 07 99) since then the other front tire needed to be replaced but the 2 rear tires are still original. From the newspaper pictures I've seen (e.g. 9-2-00 minneapolis star tribune business section) the tires on my Chevrolet minivan seem to be exploding just like those Ford tires recalled.( dot number: Fr 680 )
