I just saw on the news that firestone has uncovered proof that in other
countries the explorers have been found blowing
Goodyear's also. They Had some numbers but I was eating during the
broadcast.. This with the continental fiasco is becoming
Interesting, also ford has in Venezuela performed suspension changes as part
of a recall campaign, but claims no coincidence
It's almost like a bad movie plot....

You forgot Poor Vehicle design too. Why aren't they blowing on any other
vehicles?
