ON FEBRUARY 19, 2000, ED CARNEY FORD REFUSED TO EXCHANGE MY RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CURRENTLY MOUNTED ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAD OTHER TIRES ON THE CAR ...

THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS SINCE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP ACTED IMPROPERLY, AND THAT TIRES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL ARE TO BE EXCHANGED WHETHER THEY ARE CURRENTLY MOUNTED OR NOT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS BREECH OF ED CARNEY'S RESPONSIBLITIES IN THIS RECALL, WARRANTING THIS COMPLAINT, AND I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL TAKE ACTIVE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT TRY TO SCAM OTHER CUSTOMERS THIS WAY IN THE FUTURE. *AK
