I had my tires replaced at Firestone and their technician failed to put my cap back onto the radiator during their courtesy check which led to my engine overheating and eventually failing on. I was given a claim number from the Firestone Store and was told someone would contact me within 24-72 hours to discuss my claim. It has been over three weeks since my claim number has been issued and I haven't received any correspondence from Firestone's Claims Department. I have called the person assigned to my claim and his supervisor numerous times over this timeframe and have left messages after each call. Each time I try to call, my attempts go straight to voicemail. I have yet to receive a return call from either of them. I've tried to call Firestone's Claims 1-800-367-3872 phone number to see if there's anyone else I can speak with about my claim, but every time I call, they tell me an alert will be placed on my claim, but that's who my file is assigned to you and who I need to contact.

I am very frustrated with this entire process. I am also sick and tired of being ignored. Due to Firestone's negligence, I've been without my car for over a month. It should not take this long to receive some type of feedback or status on my claim.

What actions can I take to get some movement towards fixing my car?

It appears that your claim has been de facto dismissed.

They will walk all over you unless you show them you mean business. Even if it just takes an attorney to write a letter for a few hundred dollars. Foot on throat and don't let go. frick them.

Embarrass them publicly, repeatedly on twitter and facebook. Tag newscasters in your area

Years ago, I had a friend of mine take her fairly new car to the Walmarks for an oil change. The tech used the wrong filter, yada-yada-yada, she needed a new engine. WM dicked her around for a while until she finally got an attorney involved. They ended up buying her out of the car.

Bro I could write a novel about a “Problem With Firestone”, they fixed my x wife’s car for $900.00.

It broke down on the ride home, they had “fixed” the wrong thing then refused to refund any money.

I went to hell and back with them MF’ers, finally got corporate and we got some money back.

They find 50 things wrong with every car that comes in, especially if you are a dumb female. Freaking Crooks

As others have said, they will ignore you till the cows come home.

They will listen to a lawyer.

Go to their latest tweet and respond with the details of this so the world can see. That may get them to send you a DM and sort this out. Also - get a lawyer.
