THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR RUMBLE STRIPS OR POTHOLES.I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND SOME KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT RECIEVED A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SINCE IT REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL 30 TO 50 FEET OF STOPPING DISTANCE.I LEAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY DIDTANCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME FOR FEAR THAT I WILL HAVE TO MAKE AN ORDIARY STOP JUST WHEN THERE ROAD GETS BUMPY.

TIRES
THE TIRE SPLIT FROM BEAD TO TREAD WHEN I RAN OVER A PVC PIPE AT LESS THAN 1/2MPH. THE PIPE WAS NOT BROKEN SO THERE WERE NO SHARP EDGES AND THE IMPACT DID NOT BREAK THE PIPE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER HE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE SAYING IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD. I ASKED FOR A NUMBER TO CALL AND WAS REFERED TO AN OFFICE IN NASHVILLETN. I CALLED AND TALKED TO A PERSON WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS ROCK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE SAYING IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD. I TOLD HIM THAT THESE WERE OFF ROAD TIRES THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE SO EASILY RUPTURED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE THE SIDEWALLS THIN BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME WANTED THEIR TRUCK TO RIDE SMOOTH AND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS MADE THEM BUILD THEM THAT WAY. I TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT. HE TOLD ME THAT HE DID NOT CARE WHAT I THOUGHT AS I WAS NOT ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT WAS JUST USING THEIR PRODUCT. I THEN HUNG UP BUT CALLED A CUSTOMER RELATIONS NUMBER LISTED ON THE INTERNET. I TOLD THE LADY THAT TOOK MY CALL WHAT "ROCK" HAD SAID AND SHE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND AUTHORIZED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE. I AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MODEL TIRE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/16 LT)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/16 LT )
