I don't know about the rest of you but I'm quite disappointed in the reaction that Ford has been getting over this recall nonsense. I realize that there were a few bad tires out there. That's terrible but the way this tragedy has been played out by the media and public is all about taking advantage of large corporations. Hmm, Ford has money so go after them. The problem is entirely the fault of the tires. I know enough about sport utes and tires to know that much. What I think is that some lawyers have realized that going after one of the biggest motor companies in the world could be profitable. As for the public, they are just being naive. Most of the Firestone tires out there are just as safe as any Goodyear or any other make. Now some dealers are having to change tires just to make a sale. Like my mechanic friend has been having to tell "scared" people - were you fearing for your life the last 60,000 miles you put on those tires? The Explorer is still one of the safest sport utes in its class!
